I haven't really seen any anime so I don't know what all the fuss is about. Futurama and The Simpsons are the only animated shows I really watch.

Originally posted by Venus: Stylistically they all look the same. Um, you mean the "anime style"? And, just so you're aware, styles do change. Compare Lupin the Third to Cowboy Bebop to Dragonball Z to Trigun and each is distinct and has a separate style from the others. /edit -- the random jumping is for comedic purposes. It's similar to when Homer goes from happy to sad within a single sentence (this was more pronounced in early Simpsons). And, the subtly claim is, in one word, ludacrious. Again, go to Cowboy Bebop for subtely and nuance in character. Go to Neon Genesis, which is nothing but subtle character interaction. Compare that to, oh, the hit-you-over-the-head style in the Simpsons or most Disney features.

I love anime myself. Unlike American animation, you do get a lot more variety in anime from serious to silly to action to horror. Most American cartoons all the same, just a same silly storyline over and over again. Also watch some Miyazaki works like Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Princess Mononoke. In my opinion he beats out the Disney storylines easily. Miyazaki has some very deep storylines in his animation. Which brings up another point, some people don't like anime, because some of it has deep thought provoking storylines. If you don't pay attention, you can easily get lost. Also what's this about DBZ being crap? I have to disagree. One of the wonderful things about DBZ is the character growth and development. Characters change physically and mentally. The show teaches about courage, redemption, bravery, self-sacrifice, and pushing yourself to the max. Also it isn't a kids show like people make it out to be. It has been edited for American television. Check this page out to see screenshots of what they took out of the American t.v. version of DBZ. http://www.db-unlimited.net/dbzu.shtml

Your the guy who wears th Shell Suit, and I'm the porn star". Also, Venis you judge something you've never seen? "Wow, that Germany sure look's evil, what with all the Nazi's plotting to get into power". And she missed the Mountain's of Bavaria.

I could reply in a general manner, but being petty is alot more fun. *Clone's Charlie Chapman who eat's all of Venis's kitten's* I'm joking if you can't tell.

It's a cartoon, it's not meant to be realistic.

Not once have I ever seen someone's head turn giant on the justice league. And shows like Futurama and Clerks may not have the animation of FLCL or any other anime, but I can rest easy knowing no one is gonna turn into a snake or a giant gorilla and start flopping around in 2 frames then explode. FLCL makes me sick to my stomache and makes me want to grind the creators teeth on a belt sander. I love the anime Bubblegum Crisis 2040, that show rocked. Shows like FLCL are just TOO Japanese for anyone to enjoy except the Japanese.

First off, as was previously mentioned in the FLCL thread, FLCL is supposed to be exceedingly weird and bizarre. It's an experimental show done by GAINAX (sign of the cross for Evangelion and Lain). The outrageousness, the constant cutting-away, the hypertensive action...it's all on purpose in order to disorient the viewer. GAINAX got together to make the ultimate absurd coming-of-age story. Oh, and FLCL is made for the Japanese, therefore what problem is it that its designed for a Japanese audience? And, as for this ridiculous comment about character heads growing, well, once again, it's for comedic effect. Note how it only happens in comedy serieses. The dramatic shows never have that happen. For instance, when Wile E. Coyete's eyes pop out of his head, are you going to complain because it's "not realistic?" It's the same principle, just done in a different style.

Nope, but it takes a kid with A.D.D to find either one humorous. Now dont get me wrong, Ive got nothing against kids with A.D.D or Japanese people, but I should be allowed to call FLCL infectious without being told its blasphemous.

Granted, it didn't live up to the strip, but lumping it in with "Rugrats", and the like is a capital offense.
The top-5 on my cartoon-hitlist are all non-anime (Futurama, Simpsons, Darkwing Duck, Dilbert and The Critic), so I'll go with #2.
Recently i started to watch Dilbert on FTN (Crappy digital channel), and i've found it quite addictive. Even though i don't work in a cubicle/office like that (I don't work but still), i can still get all the jokes about incompetent employees. You need to get used to it, it's nothing like the cartoon strip though.

Some American cartoon's are pure capilistic shit made just so the Network can buy more shiny Moniters next year.
The same thing happen's to Anime. Why don't we agree they both have good and bad moments?

Well, I'm standing by my compromise.
Note: Well into the night, while the argument raged on Nurdy broke into the PEEL lockers and stole all the Futurama and Misc Anime DVD's, he now lives a rich life in Brazil ala Ronnie Brigg's.

"bad" Anime is Shojo Anime, made really for more comical stuff. Serious Anime is stuff like Bebop, Trigun, Helllsing and Eva.
I watch both types. I blame all that kiddie crap for ruining half the people's view on anime here.
