You guys just aren't hip to the cartoon cartoons. Those are some of the best shows on TV. I find Ed, Edd, and Eddy to be rather funny. Johnny Bravo, Power Puff Girls, and Dexter's Lab are all good. I laugh at your inability to find these shows funny! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA ok done.
There is a thing called Japanime, I think. That is short for Japanese Animation. When we look at the big book of Anime term brought to you by ZeroSniper we see that the definition is this:
Quote:
Anime: Anime (ah-nee-meh): Japanese animation
|
This fact was brought to you by:
ZeroSniper's big post of frequently used anime terms
Which further raises the question of what would you call an American style of anime.
Just plan old American Animation? Or an Action Cartoon? Or perhaps settle a deal with Japan. We give them something they want over here, be it military secrets or women, for the rights to call American made shows anime. That is, if they have the rights.
But when we go to
websters we see that it doesn't clearly state if it is Japanese or if it doesn't matter.
Which raises the question of who cares? THE VIEWER. Yes, people will watch if it is Anime. Even if it looks terrible. But if you call it a cartoon they turn their head away and watch more anime. We are talking serious dinero here people. I mean, would Cowboy Bebop be so cool if it was a cartoon where little kids could watch?
Maybe I am just being a Baka? Ah, I don't care. Read this, it goes further into the discussion of which is better. Maybe you will read more then a couple of sentences, unlike me. But be warned! It is long with no spacing between paragraphs and it bashes Japanese Animation. And whoever tries to "borrow" the paper will get an F, especially if they don't change the name on it
Any way my final thoughts are this:
I think that it should just be called Anime. I think that whole thing with wine and champagne is just a clever trick to rip people off. But I hate most wine any way. ESPECIALLY THAT CHURCH PISS! NASTY! Oh no...
I don't think that an Anime Series shown on one the big channels would really help Anime in America. In fact when these Reality shows become unpopular they should turn there. But I don't know how it would hold with some adults. They are just too stupid to understand the deep meaning in it all. And most people like comedy for their TV shows.
