What gives Japanese cartoons that recognizable "anime" style, compared to American cartoons?

>that recognizable "anime" style,
You say that after watching literally almost 20 anime, not counting movies?

Shiny skin, big shiny eyes, shiny multi-colored hair.

Basically, it's gotta be shiny and skip a lot of frames.

Oh yeah, dark inks.

Attention to quality and what makes my dick hard, of course.
Feel free to post your shitty /co/ flash animation tier crap to prove me otherwise.

Almost forgot, everything tends to stay on-model in anime. American cartoons squash and stretch fluidly. It's sometimes done in anime, but it's more goofy looking.

Why is there no good musicals in anime like there is in Disney animations?

I beg to differ, idiosyncratic animation styles are more common in anime. It's not uncommon to see talented animators having their own distinctive styles.

I don't follow

Look at that shit.

Same hair style, same eyes, same mouths, same chins.

It's like it could all be part of the same movie.

>>115269216
Because it requires a suspension of disbelief far more than an average WWE show when everyone, heroes and villains alike, burst out into song and dance during a particularly serious scene?

Why do you choose japanese style over this?

Are you fucking retarded?

Low budgets mean they have to improvise and come up with various techniques that don't rely on on large frame counts

The lack of shading is disgusting.

No diversity in art style.

Sharp corners, everyone wearing eyeliner, exact same eye highlights, shiny hair and cell shaded shadows.

Just look at the way she dresses.

I only still watch anime becuase this is merely a phase. They will go back eventually, I am sure.

Disney don't make 2D anything anymore.

>>115269216
I'm pretty sure you can count every new anime with Sawano a musical at this point.

Also different business models. Elevens already promote and sell OPs, EDs and OSTs. No need to make even more musical numbers.

Either kill everyone like the source material, or dont adapt a fucking gothic novel, into a childrens film.
