I hate Angel Beats. Everyone looks the same, the characters are all happy and cheery all the ****ing time, overused plot(seriously, school kids. Who would've guessed). The rest was OK.
school kids is a setting, not plot.
happy, cheery? i didn;t notice that. Although they would have no reason not to be, i mean they can't die, they have no responsibilities and can do anything they want. Why wouldn't you be happy?!?
It is the same style as anime, and from what Ive seen so far Japanese people consider underaged girls to be sexy.
That, in my book IS pedophilia.
Not all anime does that. And we (off topic) have already had the conversation about underaged girls being sexualized by the media. And guess what; it's not just Japan that does it. Hell, it isn't even restricted to the animation medium... ever see "Toddlers in Tiaras"? Holy ****... we're making girls who are barely old enough to walk into sex icons and that's here in America.
When I hear the word anime the first thing that pops into my head are scantily clad girls and tentacles...not a pretty picture.
So when you think of an entire genre you think of the worst elements of it. Ok, that's fair I suppose. Some people think of Nazis when they think of Germany. If you can manage to get past the negative aspects of something you can typically find something positive to appreciate. I rather enjoy German music, I'm not going to let WWII stop me from listening to bands that just happen to be German. Why should you prevent yourself from watching anime just because a portion of it has things you dislike? That seems rather close-minded.
And the fact that all the grown women look like babies with huge boobs.
A lot of animation does this. Not just Japanese. Have ever seen a comic book rack? Most female characters are large breasted. It's because most men (not all but most) like large breasted women so the industry panders to that desire in order to sell more issues.

0.0 i didn;t know that. btw, when the characters are underage, it's usually aimed at an audience age that matches the age of the characters. Not as creepy, but you were into 'that' kind of stuff at that age, yes? (not anime, the sexy girls who are the same age as you.)

people do this with items too, like guns. just because one is used for something like that doesn't mean the otehr 2,500 that weren't are evil too.

there is only one show i can think of that does that, unless your looking for it. to find something like that is to walk into a video store and expect the whole place to be porn; that stuff is only kept in the back and is very small proportion of the whole.
Then in that case, I do care for some American animation. But that is probably the only animation from the US that I've truly enjoyed without ever having to suffer from boredom.

Megas XLR was american, but you can find it on many anime sites...

Well... And that. Brings me to mind all the good 'ol fashioned 80's / 90's cartoons. Kids these days doesn't know good quality even if it raped them in their sleep.
sometimes. -gurren lagann isn't bad, neither is FMA.
usually they make the MALE protagonist sound like a whiny little *****, or the voice is just so different from what you expect that you can't take it seriously.
prime example: Angel beats! great show, dubs sucked.
I dislike them, but i only have FMA as dub and it's pretty swe'. Death Note was pretty bad though. If you don't rememeber, I'll refresh your memories:
Back again after a long time. It takes some time, but anime are developed by a lot of people and tend to differ in their animation styles. If they're the same animation then they're made by the same people.
Over the last 11 years anime has gone from being almost hand drawn looking to HQ modeling. American cartoons haven't really gone anywhere... Other than MLP:FIM. In America cartoons are mostly situated around comedy because cartoons are usually made for children, however shows like Family Guy and American Dad are also made for adults and teenagers. In Japan they have shows ranging from Magical Girls for the children to Magical Girls w/ Tentacles for the adults. They also have a variety of different genres, classes and subclasses as well.
My favorite Anime would be Gosick because of its ingenuity and my favorite American animation would by MLP:FIM because of how great the voice acting, animation and plot is.

Hi i am wegie125 here reporting news about a man that looked like paper he was wandering the streets with his pet bingu when he got depants and everything went wrong he got angry and became angerypaper.
Japanese: Seen a few clips from several of animes. Either Japanese like making porn-like animes that involve same-sex relationships 50% of the time, or people just like making fake japanese porn animes. Another thing, most of the Japanese animes are just different in the same way a psycho killer is different to a creepy stalker that leaves hidden messages saying he's going to kill you. American shows are more subtle, Japanese throw their creepy/sexual/whatever **** everywhere in front of everyone to see.
American: I'm not too fond of American shows, they're not funny, nor are they entertaining. I do like the Discovery Channel, History Channel, Space (Doctor Who, some other shows whose names I forget.)but I do not like Comedy Centre, MuchMusic, MTV, Spike, and all of those other channels. They're not entertaining, funny, good, or even worth wasting my time on. Hell, even Disney Channel is shitty for kids, probably. Their shows are getting worse by the minute.
P.S. In no way am I implying that Japanese only makes Anime, it's just the popular/renowned thing of them.
So, really, you can't compare them. Japanese makes Anime, American makes shitty not-very-funny comedies, reality TV shows with big-breasted women, and fake scripted 'reality' shows.
school kids is a setting, not plot.

I don't like a lot of things. We should establish a club for people who don't like things.

agreed.
Is Avatar (the animated series) American or Japanese?
The Last Airbender? That's American animation.
I figured it would be.
Then in that case, I do care for some American animation. But that is probably the only animation from the US that I've truly enjoyed without ever having to suffer from boredom.
Megas XLR was american, but you can find it on many anime sites...
lets not forget the legend of zelda US anime.
What about this?
Well... And that. Brings me to mind all the good 'ol fashioned 80's / 90's cartoons. Kids these days doesn't know good quality even if it raped them in their sleep.
this explains soooo much.
God I loved that show.
Nostalgia.
TETSUOOOOOOOOOO!

BreadGodDamnit I'm on a restricted filter so I can't see what the title or the video is. What is it?
It's a clip from the show Ren and Stimpy. It's "Powdered Toast Man" which is also the character in my avatar.

I prefer Japanese over American.
Why?
Death Note.
