Manga was better. In both cases.
I listed Fooly Cooly as exemplary awesome anime, so of course I conede.
No. Gundam 0083, Gundam 0080, and 08th MS Team were fantastic, top of the line mecha anime. Pretty much any other series - the original, Gundam Wing, G Gundam - are either stale or utter trash.
I hated Princess Mononoke.

Granted.

Not a bad list...

No.

Yes to NGE, no to InuYasha. InuYasha is DBZ for girls, only without the guilty pleasure factor of main characters being violently murdered all the time.
No comment, never seen.

So be it, I'll pull out a more complete list of bad-ass American cartoons, my previous list being at the top.
The Transformers.
Samurai Jack.
The Simpsons.
Futurama.
South Park.
Megas XLR.
The Tick.
Batman the Animated Series.
Justice League Unlimited.
The old Dexter's Laboratory episodes.
Clone Wars.
Pretty much anything by Tartakovsky.
Disney circa Tarzan on back.
Anything by Pixar.
The Centurions.
Batman Beyond.
The Popeye cartoon.
Merry Melodies.
Looney Tunes.
Tom and Jerry.
The old Mickey Mouse shorts.
Winnie the Pooh (there was never a finer kids' show).
The Flintstones.
Johnny Quest.
The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest.
Space Ghost.
Bird Man.
Korgoth of Barbaria.
The Venture Bros.
Mission Hill.
The Oblongs.
The Angry Beavers.
X-Men.
X-Men: Evolution.
SpongeBob Squarepants.
The Rugrats (first five years or so were freaking hilarious).
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Ren and Stimpy.
The Powerpuff Girls.
Johnny Bravo.
Duck Dodgers.
The Boondocks.
Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego?
SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron.
Rocko's Modern Life.
The Pirates of Dark Water.
Pinky and the Brain.
Gargoyles.
Hey Arnold!
Home Movies.
King of the Hill.
Invader Zim.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Superman The Animated Series.
Freakazoid.
Dave the Barbarian.
The Iron Giant. (I should shoot myself for forgetting this)
See that right there? Notice anything about that list? Each of thos cartoons, even if they're meant to fill a specific niche (like Home Movies or Winnie the Pooh),
kicks ass. American animation has the richest history in the world, and has more heavy-hitting series and movies
this very second than Japan will have twenty years from now.
