Well, actually, I enjoy both. I don't enjoy every American cartoon out there, but I don't enjoy every anime out there, either.

However, if I had to pick, I wouldn't hesitate to go with anime.
American cartoons can be fun, as some are silly and can serve as a good passtime, but with anime, it's more than that.

What separates anime from regular American cartoons ? The cornerstones of storytelling : plot and character development.
Without such, you're merely watching a regular cartoon, moving pictures that tend to entertain more than enthrall.
This is something that cannot be easily accomplished, and I have yet to see it be done with American cartoons.
