I'm sorry, but what is the difference between Anime and Cartoons?

[HuskyPuppy 255]

 

 

 

Not really much of a difference in production terms, its a culture difference. "Anime" is the term for animation in japan. So when we say anime we simply mean Japanese animation.

Shingeki no Kyojin, Sword Art Online, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Not to mention Studio Ghibli stuff. I need to watch more anime though... if you wanna add me, feel free, it's the same as my Forum username.

 

I love your IC character, now I love you OOC'ly

I used to watch anime every night for at least a couple hours when I was younger. I've watched almost everything that's been mentioned in this thread and then some.

 

I still follow One Piece and I still enjoy the occasional good series. I've only ever watched the first episode of Cowboy Bebop. Maybe I should finish it.

Well, I'm not an anime guy, so I only watch those with 20-30 episodes at most, since I'm impatient, but here are some of my favorites anyways- hell, I'll even throw in my ratings out of ten for them:

 

• Nichijou (10) (I don't even know what to say about this one. It's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.)
• Daily Lives of Highschool Boys (10) (This is like a male version of Nichijou (Or is Nichijou a female version of this?) It's pretty great.)
• Toradora! (9) (Eh... I think everyone already knows this one.)
• Steins;Gate (8.5) (Starts out horribly slow, but gets really good towards the end.)
• Blood+ (8)
• Kuroshitsuji (8) (or The Black Butler, whatever floats your boat)
• Eureka Seven (8.5)
• Black rock Shooter (8) (A pretty good anime. I preferred the OVA of it much more though.)

 

I'm more of a manga guy though, and here are absolute favorites (with ratings again, cause why the heck not?):

 

• Annarasumanara (10) (Highly recommend this. The name is a mouthful, but it's art style and everything about it is extremely unique. Why isn't this manga more well-known?! D;)
• Pandora Hearts (10) (ohmygodIlovethisosmuch. It gets kind of corny sometimes, but it makes up for it with it's amazing story, and great characters. There's an anime of this, but I suggest you read the manga instead. The anime ends RIGHT BEFORE the manga gets REALLY REALLY good.)
• Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (10)  (One of the most hilarious mangas I've ever read. Also gave birth to one of my favorite line EVER in any manga)
• Kagerou Days (9) (A manga based off of PVs, who woulda thought?)
• Koe no Katachi (9) (or Kitachi in some translations. Katachi makes more since though, since it means "shape", which would roughly translate it to "The Voice's Shape" which makes more sense)
• Soul Eater (8.5) (Eh, there's also an anime version of this-- but I prefer the manga. I never finished it though, maybe I should. ;o)
• One-Punch Man (8) (;w;)
• KAMISAMA NO IUTOORI (8) (It's an anime about kids fighting to the death-- sort of like Hunger Games but with less dystopian society and more stabby stabby.)

 

There are also some mangas/animes that I have extremely mixed feelings on, and I'll state the reasons why:

 

• Fairy Tail (6-7) (I started out liking this manga, I really did ... but... all the mangaka likes to focus on right now is cleavage and shots of the character's butts. Nothing pisses me off more than fan service.)
• Area-D (5-7) (It started out amazing in the beginning-- but then it introduces one of the main characters... who's just leaking out corniness and "HEROIC-ISM" (god forbid). I like it because of it's art, and the idea itself is great, but I've never wanted to punch someone in the face SO GOD DAMN much.)
• Green Blood (5) (I love the art-- everything else, not so much. I don't know. Give it a shot if you feel like it. It falls to the trap Area-D does. Corny ass characters. I can't stand corny god damn characters (but then again, all mangas are made up of corny ass characters). Argh!)
• Shingeki no Kyoujin (IDON'TKNOW) (I KNOW. I KNOW. How could I NOT be head over heels for ATTACK ON TITANS?--- but GOD DAMNIT. When the HELL is Eren going to go to his Father's GOD DAMN BASEMENT? It's good overall, but the plot just gets all jumbled up and I don't even know what's going on anymore. It's also back-breakingly slow. I love the manga sometimes, and I hate it sometimes. I don't know what to think about it. D:)

 

 

Edit: Wow... I ... uh-- ended up writing a lot more than I originally planned to.
