Should cartoons be replaced by Anime?

[deathshead2]

Cartoons shouldn't be replace by anime. They both have problems cartoons have some good ones and some bads ones as does anime good and bad know point in replacing all of one think to get the same of another.

Rocko's Modern life... Doug... Hey Arnold... Real Monsters.... whatever the hell happened?

Pokemon and -some- Digimon are as worse as Edd ed and Eddy, except that EEE is one of the last cool series... along with Dexter's lab and Power puff girls...

but seriously..Pokemon is crap.. like Beyblade and Yugiho

Doug?! Doug?! Gimme a break! That cartoon was pure unadulterated crap. But so is Pokemon and the other mon. Ed, Edd, and Eddy is cool though.

But replacing American cartoons with Japanimation isn't very bright. I think on the whole, Japanese cartoons have more crap than American cartoons.

No.

Cartoon = animated artwork.

In point of fact, a cartoon is an image or series of images resulting in a comedic conclusion. Overboard and Zits are cartoons, but not animated.

An Animated Cartoon is the proper term for what you're referring to. The comedy is key, however. Batman, The Animated Series, for example, is not a cartoon because it's not meant to be comedic... except on occassion. Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon because he is supposed to be funny.

I know that people use the terms "animation", "Anime", and "cartoon" just about interchangably and for the most part I don't mind, but when you're trying to set down the definitions for people, some clarity is necessary.

Anyway, ironic point: American cartoons (animated and otherwise) were a huge influence in the creation of the earliest Anime (a la Astro Boy), which is part of the reason why characters in Anime often look like they are caucasians. Now the Japanese style is having a huge influence on American television. The boundaries aren't necessarily so clear as one would assume.... which, I believe, is just about your point anyway: Right, Question?

Doug was awesome.. shut up

No, seriously, no. I was actually thinking about making a small website about why Doug was such a ***** but I decided to let it go. But if you want to hear my arguments about why Doug was one of the, or the, biggest ***** in cartoon history then feel free to ask me.

Dude go over to japan sometime. 85% of their anime is total crap. We just get the ones that do very well over there. Also i like how you compare to totally different cartoons. Now all anime is gundam and stuff.
