[quote name='Chalo~08']Well let's just say that America doesnt make cartoons like they used to. Now they are getting more and cheesy and conry by the minute. I still think my nephew is crazy about Ben 10:>.>: Like The Great Observer said The Last Airbender was one only main success in animation they had to date but you gotta admit I think they got allot of help from the Japanese to make it a fine story. That's why they go nuts over animes that make big hits.
On the case of naruto I still watch it despite all you say, in the end just seeing the manga in motion is what counts.:shrug:[/QUOTE]
I watch any and everything that is animated and I gotta say Ben 10 is an awesome concept that they occasionally get right depending on the episode. Now, Avatar was animated mainly in Canada if I recall correctly and you have some japanese animators working as inbetweeners. I know for a fact that the animation studio was not based out of Japan though and the creators wrote all of the episodes with an extra writer in some cases. They did however, bring in so Kung Fu specialist to assist in the animation of the martial arts stances used in the bending.
[quote name='Madara Eternal Mangekyo']I seen some of that " The Last Airbender" but lets be honest there was a lot of work that needed to be done. The style just doesn't compare to Japanese anime and America needs to try some new ideas out first. They are still trying to discover a good suitable style.
On another note you need to add some characters that vary and allow even a tad of blood. The more serious personalities needed to be worked upon. It wasn't bad all and all, but it wasn't anything that interesting either.
Come now even you have to admit this one. The animation is horrible, episode 167 was the final nail in the coffin. Though you could see it coming in episode 166 and I watch with the hope they return to one of the older styles. The current style is cheesy and the combat in motion is disgusting. From my perspective ever since 166 the animation has butchered the original concept and put out a sad excuse for adaptation of a great work.[/QUOTE]
I think it's gonna become a common thing when I post behind you, to tell you to dial back some of that animosity you have. :grin:
I understand what you are saying about the differences in style when it comes to animation between Japan and America. What I don't you take into account is the emphasis placed on animation in each country. In America, cartoons are looked at as childish and don't really play a huge role like it did in the late 80's early 90's. The American politicians have teamed up with some idiotic parents to all but kill cartoons on regular tv unless it has what they consider to be educational value.
Now in Japan, they look at anime as regular tv shows and there is a race to have the next big hit. Almost like the ratings push we have for shows like House, Bones, Fringe, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, or other prime time shows. Once we see a change in the emphasis on American animation, we will see much better products.
