I have never really liked much American cartoons. They lack of invention and in many cases they're very cliché. Anime is more creative, stories and characters development are better. And in the best cases there's an idea, a concept behind the story. You can notice someone actually put some effort on that work, while most American cartoons are just gags and repetitions mixed with the usual politically correct morals. Also speaking of animation anime can beat 99% of cartoons anytime. Anime often is more "experimental", and it's incredibly surprising that thanks to anime what could be considered experimental becomes mainstream. Just take some very famous series as an example: could you find anything as complex as Eva or Lain in the panorama of cartoons? Nope, the best thing you can get is The Simpsons. Not criticizing the whole American cartoons' world, just saying that usually they lack of a purpose, of creativity. Many anime series are crap, but when they're good, they really are, while most cartoons are terribly banal and annoying, and it's really difficult to find anything as good as a good anime series.
