iron-warrior Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I found in anime things I couldn't find in cartoons, more freedom more creativity =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizen Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I usually enjoy the great story telling, and awesome action sequences. You can't really find that outside of anime, well at least the 'action sequences' part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerster Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 What do I like about anime? Â Well I am able to get drawn into the series and leave the problems that i am dealing with in the real world behind for a little bit. Â I also like to laugh so that why I watch anime.

TPridham Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I prefer Anime over north american cartoons for the simple fact that animes have a story line that makes it so you not only have to but want to watch every episode as oppose to american cartoons and kid shows that you can miss a few and still not miss anything imporant. I don't mean to upset anyone but what is the deal with Power Rangers? It's the same thing over and over again just different costumes and a different name. Sorry to go off topic as Power Rangers is not an anime but, it's just an example of how storyless american stuff can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is another reason why I love animes, they go that extra mile in story telling and other such things like action, romance etc. I still don't mind cartoons just not on the level I like animes.

shadowtheman Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) The fact that the creators of anime take the medium more sereasly makeing anime more artistic or profound. The diffrence in culture that brought an exotc type of show to light. Breaking these two things down and you get my answer. At the time it was 1991, I was tired of shows like tmnt or reruns of scooby doo. Adult swim didn't exist yet and I didn't know about toonami yet. Out of know were 2 am scifi late night block, two animes popped up to promote there saturday anime block. Green legand ran and Fatal fury the anime "milk" .  I missed the first half of Green legand ran saw the end and said "oh wow, I gotta see more" and that was that. Edited May 9, 2013 by shadowtheman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indieanna Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I like the difference in plot compared to shows that are on TV here. I feel like I can sit down and watch an anime and see something I haven't seen before. Or if it is similar to something else it is done in an interesting and different way. When I sit down to watch TV here the shows always seem like something I've seen before. That or they're some reality show that just lacks in every way. The art is also intriguing and I like to see all the different styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popol Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Love slice of life type stories. The humour is generally really good and some of the characters are adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTJG RIO Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Being able to watch enormous fight scenes, complex story telling, giant robot battles, and ridiculous amounts of blood all at a fraction of the production cost all because it's animation. Also it seems no one censors the Japanese on what they can and can't produce in anime which gives some anime's this dark, gritty, almost to real for words feel to some series.

BloodDriven Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 they take alot more care into each anime like they really care its hard to find that with cartoons and other shows. have you ever seen the staff they put into a 12 episode anime its crazy.

cijah Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 the cute girls of course! - but seriously imho cartoons are either for kids, or they are vulgar - adult cartoons are raw and to varying degrees vulgar. Anime on the other hand spans many genres, and there is always an anime for whatever your mood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hack5 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 i like it all the feel of the characters the story and the art.i like how they dont try to sugar coat things and give us the uglyness of the human heart as well as how it relates to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queets Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Â The storyline and the animation and art of the show. Samurai Champloo had awesome animation I loved the music too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadhooker Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I like the character depth and the drawing style. Also, many of the storylines I watch are dark and kinda tragic, but there is always hope in them. It really draws me in. Makes you feel like you are there, in the story.

†LimitLess Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Most Anime's got a lot of action. It's more for teenagers than small children and not so childish like most cartoons you get. Plus anime's got blood in them. This is just the few reason I like anime's also the good story and characters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I love the art and the variety of genres that are portrayed through the medium. You wouldn't typically see romance or harem for that matter shown in a cartoon because western cartoons are primarily targeted towards children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
