| So, do you? I feel western animation has really hit a high point these past few years, with some great shows like Rick and Morty, Gravity Falls, and Star vs the Forces of Evil setting the bar way above where it was 10 years. oh yeah, and Adventure Time might be one of the greatest things ever created :p |
 |
| Not a fan of episodic cartoons (even in Anime) so no, I don't watch many. And I don't like English voice acting that much. If anyone has recs that are similar to my favourite Anime, hit me up. |
| I do. It gets me entertained. But, I don't get out of my way to watch it. I watch cartoons for kids like Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb and Adventure Time... They're both good watches. I also watch cartoons with adult content like South Park, The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, Futurama, Family Guy, Cleveland Brown, American Dad and Family Guy. They're a good watch if you just wanna laugh at things. |
| I like Spongebob, and who don't Western should take old carl bark and don rosa for donald duck and scrooge mcduck , so many good story there |

| Worst stories ever, worst styles ever (not everything but most). Sure I really really love some. But I cannot congratulate it as it can be way way greater. You all wanna see Adventure Time or Gfalls anime styled, well even anime style wouldn't save their ridiculous stories. It'd save the style but the stories are still weak comparable to anime which is always excellent to me. If we talk about the styles which are used in most western animation: The only animation works which can be 'recognized' on top, are the works by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Laloux René Laloux a french animator and director. He is a genius. Only has a few short animations which seem artistic haven't watched those and has 3 movie animations which are excellent. This guy's worlds and stories and style are top notch. Uncomparable to american animations and is as great as anime. Granted anime style is much better for me, but if some creators don't want to use anime style then these are the only other acceptable styles to use. I'm talking about Gandahar and Fantastic Planet. Time Masters is also great with the story but the animation/drawing styleis looking like something american which I don't like, on the other hand the backgrounds look like smth from Fantastic Planet which is great. But the character's look is in a style which should not be 'recognized' in Time Masters. It is not bad by any means. But as far as the characters drawing/animation style looks like, I can't say it's something I love. |

| yep, western animation has reached quite a high in recent years, while most new anime is pretty bland... also nobody mentioned over the garden wall yet. that's probably the best animated show of the past some years i've seen. |

| Of course Western animation and cartoon VO actors (not anime dubbers, obviously) are great and I like great things One of my favorite movies of all time, Les Triplettes De Belleville, is an animated movie semss said: ^ThisI like Spongebob, and who don't Western should take old carl bark and don rosa for donald duck and scrooge mcduck , so many good story there |

| I can't recall any Western TV shows that I like right now, but there are some Western animated movies that I really enjoy like Coraline, The Lion King, and The Incredibles—just to name a few. Some of them have great stories, and are stunning to look at. |
| Very rarely when I have to watch a movie but end up watching Disney |
| Before I knew about Anime I did watch quite some, but once I learned about Anime, then I stopped watching any Western Toon. It's only very rarely that I watch it now, like if it's with the family or something like that... |
| South park and Simpsons are better than most anime tbh. And yeah Gravity Falls is great and so is Adventure time and regular show. I personally am a big fan of Ralph Bakshi especially Heavy Traffic. Also love The Yellow Submarine. |
 |
| I like some of it, of course I watch Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks movies all the time. I also like: Rick and Morty Gravity Falls Avatar The Legend of Korra |

|
and don't forget the newer shows look gorgeous    |
 |
Yeah they do look great. However the method of animation they used for Gravity Falls left it with a fair share of animation errors. Check these out |

| Sometimes on TV. I think my favorite is The Amazing World of Gumball. It's funny. |

| Yes when I was younger. The most recent western animation I've viewed is Wakfu. Wakfu Batman Beyond Samurai Jack Megas XLR Futurama Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Ed Edd and Eddy Courage the cowardly dog |
| RWBY Eh, just RWBY mostly. I don't really watch TV anymore. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| When I was a kid I used to watch a ton of cartoon like the ones mentioned above. Nowadays I watch shows like Family Guy and South Park but even that very rarely, as I find them to be less and less funny. I did enjoy Bill Burr`s F is for Family, too bad it had only 10 or so episodes. |
| Beautiful Betsy oversells her indifference. The schizophrenic takes note. |
| Used to but not anymore. Think the last western cartoon I watched that I really enjoyed was star wars the clone wars. |
 |
| Only adult comedy like Rick and Morty and Archer for example. |
 |
| Yes as much as anime. Steven Universe season 2, Adventure Time season 7, Regular Show season 7, Mickey Mouse 2013 season 3, Southpark season 19 , Moonbeam City, Clarence season 2 are far more entertaining than the anime I'm watching this season except for Assclass season 2. I'm also really looking forward to Batman the Killing Joke , Justice League vs Teen Titans and Kulipari Army of Frogs more than any anime being released this year. |

| Forgot to mention that I'm also looking forward to a second season of Justice League Gods and Monsters Chronicles although Warner Bros hasn't announced it yet and Long Way North getting subbed or dubbed. |

|
| Of course. They have some of the best stuff out there. Rick and Morty, and Gravity Falls are certainly the best of the newest series, and Over the Garden Wall is the best cartoon miniseries. The Venture Bros is also back, so that gives me something to keep up with. |

| Would enjoy Spongebob Squarepants any time, although I don't watch it deliberately. If by some chance i get presented with it, then i'll watch at my pleasure. |

Bobby2Hands said: Well it's not a sequel to the Gods and Monsters movie but a second season of the Gods and Monsters Chronicles mini series which was only 3 short episodes . I'm interested in seeing it because it could greater expand on this new alternate world and give backstory for the other alternate DC heroes.DrGeroCreation said: Forgot to mention that I'm also looking forward to a second season of Justice League Gods and Monsters Chronicles although Warner Bros hasn't announced it yet and Long Way North getting subbed or dubbed.

| they were my childhood summed up. was really fond of samurai jack and totally spies among a few others but i forgot the name since i didn't understand english back then xD last time i watched any was gravity falls when it first came out but there's no heart to watch it now. |
 |
| Yes I will always prefer western animation over anime. So many good shows have came out this past decade. |
 |
| -Beavis and Butthead -Courage The Cowardly Dog -King of The Hill -Ed, Edd and Eddy -Samurai Jack -Rocko's Modern Life -Here's one ya'll might vaguely remember. Reboot The cartoons of my youth. |

| Better than anime tbh Especially in humor. Damn does Japan need to work on that. |
 |
| Family guy, simpsons, and the cleavelands, watches these.. Although I also watch gravity falls and stevey wonders. |
 |
| Nope. The last western animation I watched was Legend of Korra's first season and that was it. I did think of trying Adventure Time after everyone I knew kept pestering me about it but never really got to it. |
