American Cartoons are my favorite form of comedy, as some of you may know. But what do you guys think of cartoons, or the current state of the animation industry? Lately, cartoons have begin to become less popular, as more people like Japanese-made anime and manga. However, I personally love cartoons, in fact you could say that I'm obsessed with them. My personal favorite cartoons are "Lilo and Stitch" and "Chowder". I think Chowder is one of the funniest cartoons ever made. My favorite animes would have to "Death Note" and "Code: Guess", though those are more serious than funny. What are you guys favorites, if you have any. |

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, The Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob Squarepants are my favories. They're all so wierd and funny. As for anime I kind of like Naruto (though I'm waaaaaay behind in the plot). Pokemon was a huuuuge favorite of mine in my younger years. Evo, you're saying that anime and cartoons are different? Bah. They're one and the same, the only differance is that one is made in America, the other in Japan. If it's animated and drawn, it's a cartoon. |

Cartoons and animes are both the same thing, it's just that their themes and structures are different because of our different cultures. Anyway, since you like Grim Adventures and Ed Edd an' Eddy, have you heard of Underfist and the Ed's Big Picture Show yet? |

I can't get my dad to watch Anime. He keeps ranting about how the characters have triange-shaped heads and that only their lips move. My rebuttle:.....so? My philosophy with every kind of movie, be it cartoon, action-adventure, or B-monster movie, never let bad special effects get in the way of a good plot. Like the old Battlestar Galactica (Ok, it's not a cartoon but bear with me). The special effects are terrible but they were the state of the art in 1979, and the story is cool. The cheesy ship-fights are cool, but the story is all that really matters. |

but the story doesn't matter to everyone, like me. Plot plays a little role in how i rate a movie, for me, if it's good and funny, it's a good movie; and actiony movies don't score too badly either.

I think that cartoon network is getting worse and worse...I remember like a round um 4-5 years ago R Kenshin was on CN and a whole lot of other violent anime shows and this rocked until they moved it off and i was pissed R Kenshin is such a good show.. Also i turn to CN on day and a stupid show was on "Total Drama Island" it is like a cartoon "Survivor". So does anyone agree with me that cartoon network is going down the drain??? Also with the disney channel i remember back in the day when the only show on disney channel with real humans was boy meet world and all the rest was cartoons... Now its all stupid cartoon like hannah montana and etc... |

Oh don't even get me started on that little tramp. All these so called "teen celebrities" are worthless. This girl is supposed to be a role modle for young girls... but she's posing for a movie NAKED! She's not even 16 yet for crying out loud... Then all these other celebrities going off and getting pregnant and playing up the "Poor me, I'm on drugs" card... or the people they're with staying long enough to get dirt on them then playing up the "I dated a star" card. Our pop-culture society has gone down the tubes, majorly. |

I don't believe that the age of "good" cartoons has ended. The animation industry is just entering a recession since most of the good cartoons from the past have been cancelled. Just give the industry sometime and they'll improve. I mean there are some good cartoons out like Flapjack, Underfist, and Chowder. Also, I agree about the Miley Cirus issue. |

Ok I will have to check those cartoons out. Well in the beginning when Naruto first came on Cartoon Network it was pretty cool then like 6 months later all the Naruto fags came along and all these damn toys which ruined Naruto for me. |

Yeah, and if you liked R Kenshin Icancount, than I recommend watching "Code: Geass". The first season of Geass isn't really good, but the second season is just amazing. |
