And, some anime tries too hard to sexualize things. Most female characters in anime aren't even female, they are just walking, unrealistic breasts. They aren't even characters, they don't matter.
...See, now I could just throw that ^ out there, and then just ignore all anime, and use this as the reason. But, that would be close-minded of me, and I know I would potentially miss out on something good by ignoring an entirety of entertainment.
I just hate to see someone blanket dismiss something. Get that "I just don't like American animation" out of your head. You don't even know if you like it or not, since I doubt you've seen all of it.
That "All anime is 10x better than all cartoons" is what sparked my response. To me, it is similar to saying "All Nintendo games are better than all Sony games", and then backing it up by saying Uncharted tried to hard to deliver its story.
Doing that ^ would invite terms like "Nintendo fanboy", and doing it with anime invites terms like "weeaboo" (I'm not calling you this). Sure, there is a chance that you are just completely unprejudiced and just so happen to only like animation that Japan puts out, regardless of its country of origin, just as its possible that a Nintendo fanboy has no loyalty to Nintendo, approaches every game objectively, and just so happens to only like games on Nintendo systems. But, more likely than not, something else is affecting the judgment here.
Just be open-minded maaaaan.
last I checked most of it(at least the popular stuff) is aimed at kids not adults ha ha
