your thread

Because there are a shitload of competing anime every season while there are only one or two "good" cartoons that pop up. These cartoons then get run for extended periods of time and because they make a good amount of money they hire better animators.

Because you are a newfag. It's because anime is mostly made to be aired during a specific season, while western is most of the time a long-running series.

haven't been keeping up with the amiercan cartoon seasons huh.

I'd like to test that theory...

Because most American cartoons are done by huge companies that host their cartoons on their own channels. They have a large amount of budget and there's very little competition.

lolwestern cartoons

because anime has superior art and usually a very low budget

Those things on your neck, are those your ears?

Shows like Fairly Oddparents have considerably higher budgets than the typical anime.

Furthermore, since series like this are episodic and original, they can be continued add infinitum.

Those "long" cartoons that you speak of usually don't have a plot to follow. Most of them are also comedic in nature which allows them to have a different story of their own in every episode(sorry I can't remember the proper term, opposite of episodic I think).

If you're gonna argue why anime can't do this, go look at doraemon and sazae-san.

Better =/= more realistic

>>53108188
because americans buy any stupid shit the idiot box tell them to and they make more in adverts

Alot of Anime is aimed at people who should be in college/job or atleast highschool who don't have as much time as kids which cartoons are aimed at, who will watch them everyday on TV with paying advertisers

>>53108278

well enjoy your squares and ovals then.

Do you like sitcoms? then western cartoons are fine for you.

I like mature anime for mature viewers... fanservice included.

But most western cartoons turn to shit after broadcasting for some time. The same applies to anime. Japan is actually doing something right.

>>53108370
anime about cute girls doing cute things yeah real mature there.

>>53108370
Since when was Evangelion cute?

It's easy OP.

Cartoons are for children.

Anime is for mature people such as myself.

At the end of every good tv show, everything goes back to normal

are you not surprised that there are shitloads of cartoons based on toys?

lol western cartoons lol

This is what /a/ actually believes.

>>53108949
Welcome, enjoy you're stay

>Why do most western cartoons have decent (bearable for the cartoon standard) animation

>>53108494
Is this one of those perfectly animated western cartoons superior to anime?

More like 20 minutes long swf animation amirite

>>53110105

Don't even try to deny it. Sure there are some anime series that have excellent animation but the vast majority of them don't.

>>53105397
Most western animation is done using cheap, monotone, static backgrounds (OPs pic related) with extremely simplistic and easy to animate character designs,

It also usually has more funding on an episode-by-episode basis due to the timeslots and viewerbase. Most anime airs between midnight and 3am, whereas most American cartoons air early morning, so there's much higher advertising income for the creators.

>>53110241
Anime isn't mentioned in that greentext at all.

Networks pay an animation studio to produce a new series they green light. It used to be that they would require huge initial episode counts because they would air it five days a week for an entire season, 65 episodes.

Animation studios in Japan have to pay the networks to air their series and recover the cost of production in DVD sales and other products.

>>53110264

That's one reason Cartoon Network has been dropping anime. They have to pay licensing every time they air an episode. Its cheaper for them to produce a lob budget series in house with Williams Street and since they own the broadcast rights they can air the for as long as they want.

I honestly wish for a good anime series that runs like a good American cartoon series. It also finishes like a cartoon, properly since the japanese can't finish shit

Cartoons in general are better animated than anime but they're boring in everything else like artstyle, character design, backgrounds etc etc few exceptions as always but few and far between

>>53110355

In short:

USA - Networks pay studios to produce cartoon

Japan - Studios pay networks to air the anime they produce.

>>53110514

That is so retarded. Putting the cart before the horse and all that

>>53110446It also finishes like a cartoon, properly since the japanese can't finish shit

Either watch more anime or just join the mass of fucktards who claim to hate anime because they realized all anime are shit.

>>53110567

I'm sorry but don't deny the fact that the japanese always leave things half done. Of course they finish some shit but they leave more undone than done

>>53105397

>>53110648
Intelligent observation, my good man!

Why are Western cartoons not moe?

because they have too much time

>>53110629

HURR DURR THEY LEAVE THINGS UNDONE, KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT? DURR HURR DON'T DENY THIS.

shut up you autistic fuck

>>53110552

Its not really better or worse, its just different. Remember, if the network were paying for it they would have creative control, the right to yank the series after a few episodes, or the right to cancel it even if its a hit.

>Someone replies to your post
>He doesn't see my way of think how dare he
>I know i'll get angry and act like a tard to show how right i am

Okay then. Realize anime and Japan have flaws and that even 'baka gaijins' as you would probably say do things right.

>>53110808

I see but the problem i think is making money off the the DVD's and Blu-rays. I don't know how those types of media fare in japan but who buys physical media nowadays anyway

>>53110868

The Japanese do. They will pay out the ass for physical media and they will buy it in triplicate. One to watch, one to sell, and one to leave unopened. Remember, these are the people who pay $80 for a blu-ray disk with two episodes on it.

>>53110922

Eh Must be different mentalities due to the cultures. I'm fine with just having the episodes on my hard drive.
