If you live in Japan (or not), I'd like your opinion on anime vs. western cartoons. This is particularly aimed at Japanese people but anyone can contribute their opinion.

Guy who lived 6 months in Japan here.

Anime are seen as a children thing there. Even when you see all those cosplayers in akihabara most of them do it for the pleasure of being disguised rather than being a huge fan of the stuff. Manga and anime are a way different thing culturally speaking. Manga are more generally accepted when anime is more of a niche subculture when it's not children that are watching.

anime = plot driven, interesting characters, etc
western cartoons = created for children with short attention spans, episodes don't really tie in together, no character development etc

Western cartoons are made for children.
Japanese cartoons are made for children and manchildren alike.

i tried to watch anime once, it seemed boring and poorly drawn/animated compared to usual cartoons

Western cartoon cater to manchildren hard. Especially since liberal pussy weebs control the industry now.

>>61501931
don't they call any animation anime, whether they are japanese or "western"?
>>
Western cartoons are made for children.
Japanese cartoons are mostly made for children(doraemon/shinchan/sazae-san) AND teenagers(which is most of the rest of anime) with the exception of cgdct which is made for adult salarymen.
Am I right?

/pol/ has so weird attitude about anime. They say it's degenerate but substantial # of people there like it.

Most anime, except for normal anime like DBZ, is for losers and creepy virgin otakus. Everyone despises those stupid moeshit anime and creepy otakus. They deserve it and really hated by anyone else everywhere.

Those creepy otakus never see western cartoons. Basically the ones watch western cartoons for some reason are normies and a kind of indie youth like tumblr. But they are not sjws.

Anime is superior, I don't know how Americans don't get bored of super-hero shit, so non-creative

Watching cartoons I always had to wonder what kind of people could enjoy shitty art, accompanied with a massive load of "jokes" either about shit, piss, snot, phlegm or around characters ALL being despicably ugly and retarded.

It's the lowest denominator of humour. Making fun of the town's idiot and fart jokes. Only everyone in the shows are the town's idiot and all jokes are about farts.

When your early shows are things like Vicky the Viking, Heidi, Sailor Moon and Dragonball, etc. you don't really understand the audience Cartoons are supposed to have. It's not children because what kind of father would want to have their kids growing up stupid and laughing uncontrolably when body fluids are mentioned, but it's not adults either because grown people are beyond that.

For years I didn't place in anywhere. It was some fringe shit relegated mostly to two early morning shows that nobody watched or a cable television channel that had to share its frequency with another one.

But then you grow up and see that shit's BIG in America and that it explains a fucking lot about american teen stupidity and shitty humour everywhere and that's probably responsible for Americans taking so fucking long to grow up mentally.

Yeah, some were good. But I still have to wonder why the american obsession with drawing the most dismorph and ugly characters.

What must it be like in their designer staff meetings

>Jim: what if we make the main character a dwarf with a rugbyball shaped head, bald in a patch of the head, wearing a cap that's smaller than his eye?
>Bob: haha, great stuff, Jim. And his friend can be the opposite: and langky black guy with a cylinder for a head
>Jim: HAHAHAHA you're killing me Bob. And he can have a girl that's in love with him...
>Bob: YES. And she's blonde... pfffff HAHAHA b-but h-has a hahaha BLACK MONOBROW!!!
