| What animation do you watch that isn't anime? I watch a few american comedies and some kid's shows. Such as south park, family guy, fairly odd parents, avatar etc. While the art is crap(avatar is alright art wise) and the stories often very weak, i still get a laugh out of it. while the level of quality is far lower than that of japan some are still entertaining. your thoughts? |
| Lol none i hate animation that is not anime >.< "so cheesy" |
     |
| South Park occasionally, and Simpsons back in the day. In general, I'd say the typical American cartoons often tend to be funny, but I'd be in a pinch if I were to name any with proper story and drama like you'd usually find (to a varying degree of course) in Anime. It's probably because of the different view on animation in general, I'd assume people in Japan would be more inclined to accept anime as "proper" entertainment on par with live action, whereas the mainstream in the west seem to think of it more as compatible with comedy only. |

| South park & Family guy. |
 "Sanity is overrated." |
| Lets see, This, this and last but not least this |
| Of course not. American cartoons aren't obscure enough to make me cool. |
| nowadays only Simpsons (... maybe TV repetitions of Asterix or Werner *lol*) |
| Nothing. Used to watch South Park until i realized how retarded that show is. And no, theres nothing artistic or deep in it. |
| I've watched The Simpsons since I was a little kid, and today I watch King of the Hill, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, and Robot Chicken. |
 |
| Makes me miss the original Cartoon Cartoons on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Cartoon Fridays!!!! Voted Yes, by the way. |
| Space Ghost. |
 |
| Last non-Japanese animation I watched was Persepolis. LOL Well, one was about oldies, the other about tv in general, and the other was a bait-and-hook Avatar discussion. |
| My tv's on Boomerang 24/7. <3 |

 |
| I love Lilo and Stitch. And I keep meaning to watch the anime version of it. I don't care what anyone says, Lilo and Stich is one of the best things Disney has released in YEARS. Ever more blasphemous, I think it beats out some of their classics. That's right, I'm praising something new over something old. Also, I tend to think that Scooby Doo was better than just about any of the anime at the time. Old American cartoons > Old Japanese animation. New Japanese cartoons > New American animation. |

| I may not like the animation style as much as anime, but Freakazoid is freaking hilarious. Good show. |

That's cause i take this thread as a combination of first 2 thread (the whole avatar talk only last half a page...) and i added the third thread for fun. You know it's just a matter of time before TV stuff in general gets dragged into this thread. I have a hunch that i missed another thread but i just can't seem to get the keyword right.. |
| I sometimes watch Nickelodeon or Jetix, but most of the cartoons have horrible quality, and going downhill.. To bad I don't have Cartoon Network, would love to watch some of those shows though it is mostly horribly dubbed in Dutch.. |
 |
| Portuguese disturbed claymation And retarded stuff from Cartoon Network. Edit: I was forgetting my memories with Inspector Gadget and X-Men and Spiderman and the Carebears and the Little Ponies. Not to mention Disney "classics" and the Pink Panther. And some hilarious thing with a squirrel that passed as intermission during the hateful Animaniacs. |

| SpongeBob and Chowder :D |
| I used to watch the Simpsons and King of the Hill when I was still watching TV. I have also seen a few Korean animated movies, if that counts. Oh, and Disney. I still watch the Disney and Pixar films when they come out. And sometimes I get stuck watching cartoons with my niece...mostly barbie movies though. I'm the only one in my family that is willing to sit down and watch them with her. X_X |
 |
| Nothing non-japanese right now. Most of the Occidental animations lack both good plot and nice drawings. So I kinda gave up on those. But I used to watch Disney's movies and cartoons with the Looney Tunes when I was younger. |
| Used to watch: The Simpsons, Futurama, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (original), Freakazoid, The Mask, Animaniacs, The Pinky and the Brain, Johnny Bravo, Dexter Laboratory, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Mighty Max, Count Duckula, Clerks, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry. Currently: None. |
 |
None of those even count. The first and second are old and the third is about non anime shows in general which includes live action. Old 90's American cartoons were a lot better than the shit they have now. I watch mostly what's on Adult Swim and occasionally South Park. I keep on forgetting to watch Futurama. |
| Last thing I saw what "Waltz with Bashir" I think. Good movie. |
 |
| I don't go out of my way to watch them like I do with anime, but I'm fine with watching Robot Chicken, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, etc. And I can stand to watch some of the older cartoon network stuff, too. |
Cowabunga said: Currently: None. Pretty much. Unless that includes Freakazoid clips on youtube. |
Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| As for American cartoons... I watch Simpsons, Futrama, South Park and Family Guy from time to time. And a couple of weeks ago I bought Persepolis on dvd. Yet my favs are the old Disney movies, Asterix movies, and old Hungarian cartoons like this or this. My favs with a bit more deeper meaning are Animal Farm and Time Masters. |

Pretty much the only decent American cartoons, unless you're counting movies. I'd have to include the old Disney stuff and Pixar. You know what, I'd have to agree with you there too. The early/mid-90's Disney movies are classics and Pixar's puts a lot of time and effort into their work unlike certain other companies *cough*DreamworksAnimation*cough*. Now that I think of it, I'd have to add Batman: The Animated Series to my list of favorite animated shows. I still watch the DVDs from time to time and the show is just as good as it was when I was a kid. Freakazoid is pretty good too when you're in the right mood to watch it. After reading some of the other posts in the thread, I really wish I had Boomerang just to watch some of the classics like Bugs Bunny. |

| When it comes to non japanese ones I love Ren & Stimpy very much. Oh and of course Invader Zim! =3 The freakier the better. xD |
| Yes, I watch. The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy and some Disney stuff, sometimes I watch the Teen Titans too. The Simpsons is a masterpiece for me. :) |
 |
| Oh, i forgot one other. METALOCALYPSE! |
| I don't really watch any other kind of animation. The episodic plots, the weak humour, the silly art-styles. Generally there isn't anything compelling me to watch them. |
     |
| Kim Possible is always fun (one of Disney's more worthwhile shows in the later years...), and Futurama was extremely funny too, when I watched it. |
| I watch my Looney Tunes Golden Collection volumes 1-6. Mel Blanc ♥ ♥ Can't beat " What's Opera, Doc?" ^__^ Oh, and Duck Amuck is lol :) I also like Futurama. And for movies, Secret of NIMH was great... |
