Frozen is on a distinguished road
Anime gives us many things american cartoons never do except for SPAWN (which I will talk about later)

Anime is so wide that any person at any age can pick something they will like, no matter what. What's important is to find good anime since there is anime that simply sucks, and I'm not necessarily talking about Digimon, which I hate with all my heart (lol, I need to put this in the hate thread, forgot about it )

I personally like most animes which are adult-oriented (and I'm not talking about hentai) since the things they present and talk about are mature and make you think a lot, and well, turn out to have the best story plots.

I also love the quality. Watching animes like Hellsing or Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust makes me wet my freaking pants.

Now, I still have not seen anything of the likes of SPAWN in any anime, at all. Why? Because SPAWN is AMERICAN ANIME, as a friend of mine once suggested. I don't know how many of you have seen it, but I can watch the 3 DVD's with the first 3 seasons and I never get tired of them. It's because the plots are so damn real even though the theme is so fictitional, it creates a blend that turns out to be awsome. And the reason this "cartoon" is the way it is, it's probably becaue Todd McFarlane loves anime, as he was inspired when he watched AKIRA.

But other than the old X-MEN and Spider-Man, there's really no cartoon I actually enojy.
