Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| These topics annoy me. Especially since NO ONE with half of the average IQ thinks anime and cartoons are the same thing. Just another internet fallacy that refuses to die. |

| first off i think you mistook eastern for western ... and second off here is to point out the mistake you made http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_culture for reference to the "west" , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_world for "east" and the main difference ,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East%E2%80%93West_dichotomy , there are many more , but mainly people seem to refer to these two the most ... don't be afraid to follow the links in those to read even more and get even more educated . as for the difference between anime and cartoons , they are just names to group up different styles of animations , as they can all fall under the animation category , and can equally be split up into a multitude of different sub-categories ... enjoy the long read !!! |
| I can see why people say anime is cartoons because it is actually is, anime is animation for short which it is basically a cartoon in a way. The only differences I see are genres and art style for western animation and Japanese anime. |

MitsukiHimeka said: I can see why people say anime is cartoons because it is actually is, anime is animation for short which it is basically a cartoon in a way. The problem with that logic is that it assumes that the word "cartoon" means "animation". I don't think it does. Having all that "toons" inside it seem to be something childish. So what "cartoon" actually means is more like "animation for children". So maybe most anime ain't cartoons but things like Pokemon and Beyblade that are for small kids really are cartoons. |

Your ramblings never cease to crack me up!well the diffrece in animation ideals is dictaed by cultural ideals i think values dissonance on what is acctable to children is stricter in the west if an anime is amied at a prtmey demograpic under the age of 19 or under its a kids show cause you not adult untill your 20 that is black and white by law and the eyes of community |
| anime is generally complimental, even the dark ones like elfen lied cartoons are generally critical, even the kiddish ones fairly odd parents west and east continents have extremely different morals and social systems visual differences are obvious i personally find anime superior in terms of the amount of genres it offers, the visual art, and philosophy however, i find cartoons superior in terms of comedy they both have amazing voice actors and soundtracks so they tie in that aspect |

| Haven't there already been a shit load of threads about this? |
 |
| Anime is more mature and has a plot while cartoons is just for kids and its only comedy that`s their difference :) |
 |
| I think the people producing western cartoons need to grow some balls and get some creativity and stop relying on cheap comedy. We could be doing a lot more such as animated drama series and I'm willing to bet there is market for it here in America. |

| in cartoons the antagonists are just evil- e.g. scar from lion king - he wanted to become king and killed his brother that old guy from UP - they explain he went crazy theres a lot of villains in cartoons that just say there the bad guys without going in to depths of why they turned out the way they did, i mean yeah theres a summary of why but there back story isn't explained why they turned out the way they did, yeah a few anime characters are like this too like freiza from DBZ all he is is a evil alien that conquers planets but we do get to see why freiza turned out the way he did because how hes dad is. we dont just get the bad guy to just to be the bad guy, sometimes we get to see how the bad guy turned out the way he is and we can be more sympathetic towards them, also in anime you get to see both sides of the argument of two opposing sides who are fighting or have disagreements with each other, at least you can make up your own mind to support which side you agree with, with cartoons you only see oneside of the story and the other side is the villains without knowing why, in some anime there isn't a villain its just people fighting because- they believe what there doing is right, or is fighting out of hatred or people disagreeing on other peoples beliefs. ect |

| The difference is that the medium of Anime lends itself to more serious tones while Western Cartoons are usually brushed off as trivial children's activity. Though recently DC has taken steps to insure their products are more serous in nature but it's still ways off as to how Anime is perceived. |

I'm not sure if you are implying that it's an unwritten rule or if there's an actual law in place. I know in the recent Batman: The Dark Knight Returns the Joker is seen on a shooting spree killing innocent bystanders with a gun. Of course that is a very recent example but I see your point when I look at the past series. |

This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| The difference between Western animation and Japanese animation is that, while the former thinks that cartoons are only for children, the latter has a vast variety of genres and they understand that there are different demographics that they should cater to. |
| The differences are actually pretty obvious, they don't even need to be discussed lol. I'm just glad many people here on this site aren't ignorant, saying anime & cartoons aren't the same thing (when they really just want to note that there's a difference between western cartoons & japanese cartoons aka anime). |

I think values dissonance on what is acceptable to children is stricter in the west. If an anime is aimed at a demographic under the age of 19, it's a kids show. All I can say is that cartoons like Spiderman TAS or Superman TAS are aimed at the same demographic as Naruto, One Piece, Bleach etc. It's just that the west is more strict. You don't see people firing real guns in cartoons, yet you see people kill each anime for children. Heck, Zambot 3 is aimed at children, and there are fricking massacres, humans turning into bombs and friends exploding before the eyes of main characters (+ the tragic end). And it still doesn't change the fact it's aimed at children. Aka everything is a cartoon, get over it. Just because there are cultural differences doesn't make anime any better than cartoons. Besides, there are better cartoons than most anime. |
