A lot of the anime programs I see brought over for kids are pretty cheap looking, all the same. Best animation I've ever seen is in Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. When you see something like that up on the big screen.. it's just amazing. |

| Gunjinkeeper | America tries its hardest to gear Anime, a clearly adult or older-teen genre, towards kids, and its Hell on us who wanted to see a decent Dub of One-Piece or a decent dub of.... Well, just about everything! America transforms Shonen Jump and other Manga/Anime into a children's cartoon-like mockery of its original form and subject matter, and it seems with the idiocy of Nickolodeon out there, we will see a considerable amount of falsified "Amirime" and crappy cheapshots at the favored Genre(Anime) in the crappiest of American Television. Anime, definately, is the better choice. |

I cant watch any (except for Nick Anime). This DishFamily package takes away CN. That just sucks. I like anime, but, as A.I. said, some of the anime is changed to be more for kids. And my internet sucks so I dont watch YouTube very much.... |

| Zelda Mod Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: All over the place Gender: Posts: 12,325 Thanks: 86 Thanked 437 Times in 269 Posts | 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. (shut up. The Centurions kicked ass) Too much anime is mass-produced shlock. When it's great it's mind-blowing, like with Fooly Cooly or the original Ghost in the Shell movie or Cowboy Bebop, but in general the better half of American cartoons trumps the better half of anime. |

| Gunjinkeeper | To contradict the list posted by Wyborn: Rurouni Kenshin Full Metal Alchemist FLCL Gundam in General Miyazaki Films Samurai Champloo Ghost in the Shell Samurai Deeper Kyo Naruto Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls Cowboy Bebop Trigun Hellsing Bleach .Hack in general (It was cool, even though some would argue.) Neon Genesis Evangelion Inuyasha's Early Episodes (The first twenty or so avoided repetition rather well) Samurai 7 Anime is truly great in several cases. This is a list of a few semi- to fully high quality anime that even the Semi-high worthwhile watchability. Either way, Anime stands as the better. (Edit: Excuuuuuuse my spelling mistake, Deathsythe.)

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.
