Anime in Japan is to Sitcoms in America. There are some good series, and a lot of sucky ones you wouldn't want to watch more than once (if at all). There's always a couple of good ones, though.

I think Azumanga Daioh is pretty recent, and that show's awesome.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Anime and cartoons are both forms of animation. Though anime has better artwork, cartoons have better animation to said artwork. That's the only real difference other than writing style.

That show was freaky, but somewhat funny.

I just remembered something I read somewhere and thought some of you may be interested in it. Apparently, Anime evolved from two sources: american cartoons and comics, and from temple wall paintings of monks doing martial arts. The big eyes used in anime come from characters like Betty Boop from American animation.

When it comes to anime, nothing compares to Bobobo Bo Bobobo.

Azumanga's pretty funny. It's one of the few decent ones. -CSM

I don't quite understand how watching some guy attack people with nose hairs or a flatulent kid could really be that entertaining.

Good anime:

Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083
Mobile Suit Gundam 0080
Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team
Vision of Escaflowne (the movie is decent too, but only decent)
Fooly Cooly
Ghost in the Shell (the movie)
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

Of course, none of them are as good as the original Transformers cartoon, so it's a moot point.

Edit: And some episodes of DBZ are hilarious. Call it an idiot's guilty pleasure but I can easily watch that show, too. There I said it.

The only animes I watch are Bo-bo bo bo bo-bo bo and Miyazaki's movies. Miyazaki is my favorite director of all time. And, yes, anime IS just cartoons with cultural differences in plot and detail.
