(And the style does seem to resemble- to an extent- some of the short anime films I've seen from The Animatrix)
what? animatrix is an animation company? i thought it was a tv channel.

(Maybe you should tell your friend that, were it not for western animation, anime as we know it today most likely would not exist)
i did, being loyal is something a consumer isn't known to do. i really love the old cartoons they had a certain feel, and i like new cartoons like Samurai Jack, Ben10 and MegasXLR ....but to her the art isn't good enough or the story isn't deep.

(The only western stuff like that are comedies that get pretty boring after a while)
actually sometimes i feel anime gets too boring at times, too much nudity, religeous and conspiracy ideas are put in them and theres more talking then action. where as westren cartoons get to the point.

(I generally do not like western animation that tries too hard to look anime. Because its amazingly easy to tell whats Amerime and what is real anime. And it feels panderific which makes my skin crawl..)
that is so true, although i don't mind dead space and megas..... i think it's okay if western artists learn to draw with more detail like anime, as long as they don't copy it and put silly spells and anime related face expressions.

(The fact that the word is just what people call animation from a specific country makes all the hype, hate, praise, and etc. ridiculous)
i know it's just easier to explain my point calling westren cartoons "cartoons" and japanese cartoons "anime", they are both cartoons but i feel anime is bushing cartoons into hiding.

(The 80's and 90's had so many good cartoons because it had good writers and animators, many of these people have since quite or retired)
the truth is ................ i actually heard big company mangers say word for word "hiring asian artists is cheaper"
but still perfection is not perfect. people might say japanese video games are the best but the UK's Tomb Raider proved it was the best, and she doesn't look realistic or well designed, but she's very enjoyable.

(Can anyone who watches current day cartoons tell me if the animation style improved?)
westren cartoons are 2 types now, 100% westren <which always chooses to take a comedy anime influnced storyline> and the westren with asian artists (not usually japanese sometimes korean or hongkong artists) and these mimic the usual anime ideas of robots and magic powers. either way they're all effected by anime.

oh btw another good cartoon is toy story watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dic_Hhnh9zg
