Which do you prefer? Western Animation or Anime?

Okay, first off let me just say that in order to fully compare these two different types of animation you have to look at the BEST each side has to offer. Sure, mais western inclined audiences only know the mais popular and generic kiddy animes that were popular when growing up and now see how annoying they are. And a mais Eastern inclined audience will praise animê for its beautiful art and attractive characters, cool opening theme songs and a mais developed plotline.
Keeping that in mind I will also say that animê DID NOT copy off of western animation AT ALL, America has Walt disney and Marvel and Japão has tezuka Osamu and Hayao Miyazaki, all of which are DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Also lets not compare American desenhos animados to the shows of the east. Spongebob is not Death Note and Invader Zim is not Pokemon, end of story.
Neither is a "load of sh*t", and personally, for me, each share a special place in my heart. I freaking amor Walt disney and respect the hardwork and attention to detail of Hayao Miyazaki(known as the "Walt disney of Japan).
Both of these types of animations has its good sides and bad and trust me my fellow animaniacs, none are all the same!
I amor animê for its beauty, depth and storyline.
I amor western animation for its somewhat crude humor, heros, honesty and innocence.

Definitely anime! But not the crappy kids anime! When it comes to kid friendly stuff, I prefer "western animation". Especially Phineas and Ferb! X3

animê FOR EVA'. \M/=>_<=\M/

Anime! Hellz yeah! I mean, Western animation is cool and all.....But animê is just more...detailed, and yeah...

Western animation, when it comes to animation, animê is a load of shit, I don't even think the Japs know what they're fucking doing. Western animation has better effects, animê is cheap and just copies what the west already accomplished in the early 20th century. I mean, come on, we've got Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, freaking Spongebob Squarepants right now and all Japan's got is some poorly drawn, ugly ass, huge eye, inhuman shit. And the plots, look at any animê plot and it's either completely unoriginal or it has no plot at all. So why watch it? Western animation has mais advances, animê can go suck it.

I like anime, but western animation will always be better for me.

Ummm, I guess western animation. But I still really like anime.

Read my name.......Anime = Epic!!! Watch this trailer for an animê called Pandora Hearts!

I amor both, equally but differently :P

i don't know exactly what Western Animation is, but i know what is Anime...so i prefer Anime...you are right has cute character and faces:] the stories are always amazing also;]

both

It depends, there are some Animes I lean towards, and some Western Animations I lean towards.

It depends upon the show. I know that you know how much I amor Total Drama, creativegirl (as well as all Total Drama spot members XD), but I also really amor certain animes (coughcoughouranandfurubacough), but not all of them.

So, I guess it just depends ;)

I like them both, really. But a lot of times it's hard to find a really good anime. Most of them are cliched and unoriginal. But there are times when you find a really good anime. On the contrary, Western Animation is usually aimed towards little kids (with exceptions, of course). But it's usually mais original and, well, most of the time it's mais goofy and funny, while animê is usually mais serious. (Usually.)

I like them both, but being a total goof and a child at heart, I prefer Western animation. When I want something mais serious, I'll watch some anime, but no geral, global western animation is just mais my style.

I amor both! But I have to choose Westren Animation because it has Total Drama Island, Phineas and Ferb, The Simpsons and Futurama

I like them both, but I like Western animation a WEEEEEEEEETLE bit better.

I prefer animê even though I'm English, I have always watched animê like Dragon Ball/Z cause I think Western animation is a mais for younger people, no offence to you of course ^_^

Western Animation por far. Their characters have differentiation and the quality is typically better (thinking mais of Disney)

I'm acutally tied in with both- Westren has really good taste, good ideas, and very hilarous moments in history. But for Anime, it also has the same touch too, though their characters have a sweet, cute, and very dramatic personality. I think when comparing, I think both Westren and Japanese animations belong together as same. :)

Anime.Nuff Said.
