Its deeper, cartoons are mostly cartoons while anime can be very serius when it needs to be.

Anime is better then the cartoons that are around now in America because anime has an overarching story and plot line that builds through each episode. Cartoons are simple stand alone shows that are there as comedy pieces and offer no depth or feeling.

Anime tends to have far more complex characters and storylines; without being too cheesy, there are "REAL" morals and ideas that I learned from watching Dragonball Z and other anime. With the American cartoons, it seems to be to phony, and unrealistic. I do want to qualify that statement by saying that not all American cartoons are terrible...I have really enjoyed watching the Nickelodeon series Avatar...and I'm not that thrilled about all anime...Sailor Moon was fun to watch but terrible (possibly a result of translation as with many anime series). Anywhoo, we Yanks have a lot to learn about story and design...for now I say lets keep taking lessons. Anime is far better at this point.

The complexity of the stories in anime is far better than american cartoons and thats a fact. There's some okay ones out there, but there's a more adult feel to anime and thats what appeals to me because it doesn't treat me like a kid.

In American cartoons I like...Mickey MouseThe Black CauldronScooby DooInvader ZimSpongebob SquarepantsLittle NemoFreakazoidAnimaniacsFinding NemoLilo & StitchPeanutsWinnie The PoohAaaand...I going blank now. There's probably more, but I can't think of any.In Japanese cartoons I like...Almost everything.I like the art style in anime better. The American ones aren't usually shaded enough. And I like the the Japanese aesthetic better. With the eyes and flowy hair.Japanese animation doesn't often look like that Simpsons crap. American toons are too abstract for my tastes, while Japanese toons are more representational.Anime stories are cliched too, but I like the Japanese cliches better.American comics rely too heavily on that superhero crap. If all comics were like that Spiderman and Superman crap, I would have never gotten interested in comics.In American cartoons, the only adult ones are comedy related. Japan has variety, and makes plenty of adult ones as well. Elfen Lied for example among thousands.So yeah...more variety.American animation started off better, but we abandoned it and while Japan continued to improve with it.Like they learned from our Mickey Mouse, we should learn back from them. So that we may finally reclaim our former glory.

I personally perfer Japanese animation, but you cannot say american animation is bad. From rip-tickling antics of Foster's Home For The Imaginary to a more adult animation called Aeon Flux, there are great deal of good american animation. I say american animator do a good job, its just there a bit more freedom over there with their ideas. Animation is great, in general.

Good question! I think anime is prefered over american cartoons because of the way the pictures are drawn and the story which goes with it.Plus the music is also catchy!The way the pictures are drawn are always cute and beautiful and to a 'bring to life' standard when compared to american cartoons, they have bad drawing and the colours are kinda lifeless!Thats what I think any way! I'll still brain storm on this question though!

I think the reason why Anime is better than American Cartoons, is because with Anime, it doesn't rely on current events or constant flashbacks to make it good OR funny *cough*Family Guy*cough*With American Cartoons these days, they either try to make it funny by relying on current events, or they try to make it look sooo Japanese that you'd think it were an Anime...like Teen Titans. Also, half of the crap that comes from Cartoon Network (with the exception of Ed, Edd N Eddy) is crap. And by crap, I'm only referring to the non-Anime cartoons.
