| Not a cartoon, but I literally just finished watching Westworld, which just made me think how anime is centuries away from being what it should be - good.

And anime has a bad reputation of taking place in schools, consisting of mainly girls with large tits, incest, extreme violence and gore and tentacle rape. But is it truly that? |
Kamakura-senpai said: well anime gets branded as just porn a lot so every medium kind of has to deal with something like that Deknijff said: Plus, western cartoons get a bad rep as only being childish shows with no real plot.

| Because Western cartoons are exclusively childrens shows or toilet humor (or both). Which makes them bad. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| because only south park is decent and maybe samurai jack i don't know |
| Because a lot of Western cartoons are aimed towards children or at middle aged men. There's some exceptions but most anime fans are too clouded with hate to give the good cartoons a try. |
| But it is true, that 99% of cartoons is better than anime, don't let me started with chinese cartoon since it's the Heaven all men have sought... |

| Isn't it basically this way in the western cartoon community towards anime as well? Some users on this site are pretty defensive when it comes to cartoons vs anime, siding with cartoons. I can totally see someone posting about anime on a western cartoon forum site and getting circle jerked on just as easily as people on MAL do in the vice versa scenario. Though the majority of them on this site are just bait topics. All in all, all communities are pretty defensive. |

| I usually see anime fans praise western cartoons like Adventure whatever and Courage the Doggo. Avatar is really bad, btw. |
| Well majority of western cartoons are trash. A high percentage of them are meant for kids while the opposite is true for anime. Only good western cartoon that I can think of right now is South Park. Legend of Korra was pretty good too. |

| Why do western cartoon watchers always need lube to ease the butt hurt they experience when talking to weebs? Answer that first. |
 |
| Because it is true that anime is superior to Western cartoons. I can easily pick out more than a 100 anime with great stories, characters, animation and soundtrack, but I'll have an extremely hard time doing the same with a cartoon. Because there aren't many good cartoons. Most of them are aimed towards children and contain very childish toilet humour. Also, the animation looks extremely same-y. Now anime is a very unique form of entertainment. It is aimed at all age groups and many different demographics. Anime has something for everyone. Anime is varied, it has many different stories. Stories which cannot be replicated in its western counterpart. Why? Because first of all there will be an uproar if even a hint of nudity or blood is shown on cartoons. Second, if someone in the US suggests making something like Evangelion or Serial Experiments Lain or Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, they would get laughed at because they're crazy. American cartoons are just not creative enough to match anime(and they don't have to). There are a few good cartoons from my generation back in the late 90s and early 00s, but that's gone now. Cartoons back then were good enough or even better than anime. This is 2017 though. Western cartoons can never catch up to anime. And that's that. |

| According to the rule of threads that I just made up: since you had to create 2 threads in a short time period that both say you can't find anime better than avatar, 99% anime is now objectively better than avatar. |

I mean, i am aware that there are some anime better than avatar, but almost very little. I don't think i could even name more than 10. I have been noticing this disrespect alot on this forum. I personally prefer for the most part anime to american cartoon, and i believe anime might be slightly superior to american cartoon but not to the extent that some people think it is. LOL i said I assure you that 99% of the community will tell you that there will be at least 10 anime that are better than your "Avatar" And it's not offensive to tell you to stop being a fanboy. |
| The difference between two set of animation is a highly standard which some japanese animation are much more appealing than to in any kind of western shows. |

 |
| Because by my experience, 99% of the people are terminally stupid. |
  |
| Looks like that bashing everything that isn't anime is MAL national sport. I find hypocritical when they bitch in the forum about people outside the medium who think that all anime are porn or for child. They act exactly like them. |
 |
| Nope. I don't think anime is always superior. Especially with stuff like Bambi and Bojack Horseman in existence. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| Because western cartoons are garbage for this new generation. Even if I didn't like anime, my opinion wouldn't change. Little by little TV networks canceled the good cartoons and replaced them with trash, and started to fuck up the few they had left. I think the only good cartoon left is Gravity Falls. Spongebob barely airs ffs. |

IpreferEcchi said: Because anime offers so much more that western cartoons never will because of SJWs. Are you kidding? Western cartoons get far more offensive than anime ever has. Go watch Drawn Together, the whole point of the show is to offend anybody and everybody. It's chocked full of swearing, violence and uncensored full frontal nudity. They make incredibly racist jokes, they make fun of the mentally disabled, there's even a joke about raping a dead child and a donkey. And I sure as hell don't remember any SJWs getting butthurt about it. |
 |
| I have actually experienced the opposite. Anime fans stating seriously that cartoons are superior. Avatar is shit tho. |
 One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does. |
| Because bronies are more disgusting than weebs. |
 |
| I seriously see more people complaining about weeb communities being condescending towards western animation, than actually seeing weeb communities being condescending towards western animation. Everyone tries to put avatar on a pedestal, saying there are almost no better anime out there and bitch about how much everyone hates on avatar. Noesnecesario said: I have actually experienced the opposite. Anime fans stating seriously that cartoons are superior. Avatar is shit tho. I completely agree. More people complain about anime not being as good as avatar. Igwe said: I don't think i could even name more than 10. I have seen avatar like 3 times already (not korra, I'll be honest I only saw tads and bits) but I can safely say I could list more than 10 anime that are better not only in animation, but in voice acting and storyline too. You are just biased because you saw it as a kid, that's all. |
 |
| Because Western cartoon are for dumb little babies, and I am NOT a Baby! I am a big boy who likes cute anime girls with big boobs! A lot of anime fans like to bash Western cartoons for being marketed for children, when most of the time anime can be even more immature and juvenile. |
| It's because western animation has, with the exception of Disney and some DreamWorks films, suffered badly in quality for decades, while at the same time anime was expanding and increasing the general quality in it's medium. It's called the 'animation ghetto' for a reason. In the last ~15 years or so it's started to turn around, but that stigma still sticks around. |

Because weeaboos like to feel like they are high class for watching Japanese cartoons, but they don't want to admit they watch cartoons. So they claim its something else while dissing all other cartoons. |
| You'll also occasionally see someone parades the superiority of Marvel cartoons. Some people like to use their hobbies as status symbols. It's irrational to dismiss a gigantic movement/genre of art. Such people are no fun. |

ss_sajin said: Honestly, I haven't heard anything besides Avatar as a decent western cartoon. Would be nice if I someone recommended anything else decent... If you want recommendations I can name a few. Batman The Animated Series Samurai Jack Star Wars The Clone Wars Courage The Cowardly Dog Adventure Time Teen Titans |
|
| Avatar is a very flawed series. So if it's really the best cartoons have to offer it just proves that anime is better. |
| It's so I can laugh at the beautiful hypocrisy when they talk about non-anime fans being prejudiced and ignorant and not knowing what they talk about when they say all anime is for kids or tentacle porn. Anime fans are just as prejudiced and ignorant when it comes to anything non-japanese (western animation or live action for example). It's really more a human trait than something related to any particular medium or fandom. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Cause most (or all) anime cheeses don't talk while walking underwater |
| Well, in my case, my low opinion on western cartoons is that they tend to be mediocre episodic comedies, just not my thing. And I'd say there are more than 10 anime better than Avatar, but as quality of storytelling is decently subjective, and I just don't find Avatar to be super engaging like everyone else does, we could argue this all day and get nowhere. |
