Hello,Well personally I prefer anime than american cartoons as many of the american cartoons are too "childish" (no offence ya). Furthermore, I like the way Japanese draw their anime characters, especially they pay more attention in drawing the eyes. American cartoon heroes always has huge upper chest and square or rectangular elongated face (e.g. Batman, Superman...) but none of the anime heroes are like that. And last but not least, I like the storyline of anime. Just my personally preference. XD

i think anime is in general, drawn better.. i don't know if that takes more time to draw, but honestly if you compared something like the gundam series to something like sponge-bob square pants, i think there's a distinct difference in drawing skills there >.> i could be wrong of course..

... I was thinking of the drawing style... but I've noticed that the west are starting to adopt the Japanese anime art style because it's more appealing.manga and anime is a big business in Japan... so may be that's why its so good. They can afford to develop.

Because you see, animes can show a lot of things better than cartoons. They can show their emotions with their big eyes, isn't it? And they're sexy as well.

The pictures are better, smoother and richer in details. The stories also more exciting, have more feelings in it and touching too.. hmm that's what I thought

Anime animation is just superior in every way :PNever been much of a fan of cartoons mainly cause they don't have any correlation with each other. Anime episodes are usually connected...

Very stupid you say? Well judging by your writing I'd say it's right up your alley.Sorry, I don't mean to insult anyone specifically. I mean to insult every angsty drama queen child on this forum who acts like anime is a Godsend. Let me narrow some things down for the "ANIEM ROOLZ!!1 ITS TEH MATUER N DRAW BETR!!1!1?!1o$%:" crowd.1. Unless it's extremely high budget, anime has very little animation. Notice how the characters never move when they talk? Notice how every scene just shows a character in one pose or another? Notice the cheap flying color backgrounds every time a character does something special? It's cheap animation. They can afford to make characters more detailed WHEN THEY STAND STILL. Anime artists are no more capable than cartoon artists.2. There are (or were) plenty of violent American cartoons created. And "mature" implies that it's only fully comprehended by a mature person. Any child can understand the basic premises of an anime series. It takes a mature mind to make connections and relate to mature feelings and mature situations of characters. Don't tell me Naruto and Bleach are mature compared to, say, King of the Hill. They involve a bunch of children fighting and yelling nonsense at each other in magic tournaments. It's not psychological, it's mind-numbing. You think it's mature because it has drawn blood? It's violent because it has drawn blood. Don't confuse the two.3. The crap that you kids are praising is targeted towards your demographic. Previously, there were no American cartoons targeted towards the 13-17 age range. They were either childish or adult. Then Japan comes in with a bunch of mindless drivel with tons of blood and swearing, and you squeal and gush over it like a bunch of pre-teen girls at a boyband concert. Of course it gives you a sense of maturity about yourself, because you feel you've "outgrown children's cartoons." The problem is that it makes you arrogant, and with your nose in the air, you're convinced that all forms of entertainment are inferior to the one you like.In conclusion, I'm not irritated by the fact that you find this stuff entertaining. In fact, I expect it. It's when you have an arrogantly worded title stating an opinion like it's fact that drives me nuts.But of course, you're praising anime in an anime forum, so you'll get that validation you were looking for from your little peers.

Anime is wayyy better than cartoons because....Anime has awesome stories in them, they show blood in them, and they have awesome character voices....Cartoons are not really funny, they are not interesting to me, and they basically have no story to them.
