Isn't it amazing how bad you can make something look with some biased images?
They both have enough trash and gems in them to put them on equal footing in terms of quality overall.

i'm not mean
I like some of it.
When I was 11 I went through a weeb phase until I was 12. I haven't watched a lot of anime since then. Never again.

i feel you though. i had a weeb phase when i was about 12, until i kinda got back into it. except im not as weeby as b4 lol i just appreciate it
What are you talking about, those are anime, you can't get more anime than Sailor Moon. I just don't understand how you came to the conclusion that it's eye cancer. So instead, I wrote what I saw.
How is American Cartoons less exaggerated than Anime? That is literally the dumbest thing I've heard in the past month, that it's hard to fathom. Either you have an extremely limited view on Anime or you just haven't seen enough of it.
Vs
And you consider Johnny Test to be more realistic in this situation?
Yes, both sides have good and bad sides. Like Korra, Adventure Time, and so on is really pretty good and I like those shows. While a lot of anime is over sexualized so there a lot of ecchi ad hentai. However, as someone who grew up during the 90s, I literally watched cartoons transform into garbage. I loved cartoons from 20 years ago, and I loved things like Looney Tunes even more. So when I go onto cartoon network and watch that remade Looney Tunes show, I feel sick. It disgusts me so much. Then when I go and watch anime, it doesn't just make me laugh, it can make me cry, or angry, or even fearful. So when some random person on an Animal Crossing forum, tells me anime is bad AND THEN switches tabs to laugh at the Filthy Frank Show on Youtube, I am beyond disgusted.
There are only two truths here;
Anime, without a doubt, is better than the current American cartoon industry.
and
You simply don't like things you aren't used to.
First off
It's not that I don't like anime, it's not like i'm not used to it. It's just I feel that some of it is just as bad as some american cartoons. And at first you said "american cartoons" so I thought you meant that all american cartoons . I watched the pokemon anime and dragon ball z when I was extremely young, like 4 years old (though I really don't like dragonball now). And my sister got me into fruits basket when I was ten, and later I watched a handful of others. My two favorite movies are Spirited Away and Coraline, one is american animation and the other is anime.
"Anime is better than the current American cartoon industry"
I disagree but ok. Johnny Test is dumb, never bothered watching it, and yes the new looney toons are incredibly terrible. But I've seen some anime that I've disliked and theres a lot more, most are as not as terrible as those two, but theres a lot more mediocre anime to choose from than american cartoons in my opinion. A lot of anime is exaggerated with the features and the fan service. Overall I'd say the american cartoon industry is better, I don't know a whole lot of the current industry but overall i'd say I like american cartoons more. I can see why someone wouldn't like Filthy frank, his humor isn't for everyone but I like it.
Anyway I hope we can be done writing paragraphs now.

I just think anime is too pretty. Everyone is so cute/beautiful that they look more like over-glorified aliens than human beings. Western animation takes the ugliness that is reality and stylizes it well (ex. Fairly Odd Parents is still a really cute show even though the main character is a short buck-toothed kid in pink clothing)
And in anime, it seems like the only ugly people are people the audience isn't supposed to like, or the bad guy

I like how this has basically dissolved into arguing with screencaps
to which all i have to say is that now both sides are dumb, because that is the worst most laziest way to make an argument about anything

tbh I'd argue western animation is just as bad if not worse about that

It's not a competition, I was just showing how easily you can use bias to make something look bad, just like you were doing. Besides, the Metalocalypse picture still looks way more awesome than what you posted in my opinion.
And yes, I do want to use Metalocalypse as an example. Or do you have an issue with me liking a certain show?
Not that the show is even relevant considering it was the image that was the focus, not whether or not you like the show. Please, use real arguments rather than a straw man.
As I said before, I like anime, I just have an issue with people 'proving things' with ignorant, selective and biased reasoning.

80s anime is cool
Unlike most people, I actually do love the over-the-top facial expressions that a lot of anime has.
Hell, a lot of artist like me benefit from those expressions and...well...they're funny and crap....don't mind me I'm just rambling on about stupid crap.

To be honest, I can't really form an opinion for all anime.
It just really depends on your likes and dislikes.
And it pisses me off that some think all anime is porn or hentai.

Not for nothing, but I don't think the anime side image is trying to be "awesome".

Sorry if I came across as insulting, I just really hate Filthy Frank and American cartoons. We aren't going to convince each other one is obviously better than one or the other. Just be more specific when you say anime is bad, to say shows like Clanaad, Code Geass, Angel Beats, Etc are bad when they make thousands of people cry over them is insulting
That's true for any show. Naturally the audience wants to root for the handsome hero type. Sort of a sad truth.
I'm trying to debate, not argue. It'd make sense to put examples of graphic quality wouldn't it?
Every god damn thread on TBT is just people posting their opinions, there's no actual conversation, why not have an interesting thread for once?

I like anime and western animation. Both have good points. Both are appealing and unappealing in different ways. Both have people who love them regardless of all those things
Art is art
It is subjective and meant for this kind of debate. It's good that people argue passionately about this kind of thing
