It can be generalized like that. Not all Anime is great just as not all US Cartoon is great. Many anime is Child friendly like Doraemon as many Cartoons like Dragon tales. Just as many Cartoons have Mature Elements like Batman The Animated Series (Murder, Drug addiction Violence against women etc) and X-Men The Animated Series (Not X-Men Evolution) (Racism, AIDS hysteria, the Holocaust etc) which also have many philosophical questions, There are many Anime that explore this like Gun Frontier (Murder, Racism, Violence against women) or Fullmetal Alchemist ( War, what does mankind with power etc). This are all Made by Individuals with Different range of talent, and Non can be qualified as superior to the other as its main difference is visual imagery which is broadly superficial.

I love many American cartoons like the Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, King of the Hill, The Oblongs, Venture Brothers, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, even Spongebob. I've tried and tried to watch Anime on Adult Swim and they all suck

Anime is the best.
Especially Japanese anime and their mangas.

Anime is great. i watch it everyday but it depends on the story. some of them or boring. i'm watch kkm, naruto, bleach, wolf rain, etc. to many to write but they are great. i just watch american cartoon just becuz they are on t.v and i cant use the computer XD there only like some of them the rest is slow, dumb , and crappimg drawing

american cartoons are cool eg simpsons family guy but personnaly i think anime is much better
each anime has brillenant story lines and amazing characters who you can see develop as a character
animes are able to be serious and sad filled with action and trauma and still be down right funny as well as hitting romance in most cases
some american cartoons try to be like anime, such as avatar which (for a change) turned out brillently(sp)

As for the A.B. thing, ...yes, Anime *are* cartoons. If USA cartoons are not animated, then what the hell are they?

Now, re: your question. I thknk it depends on which cartoons you are comparing. For instance, Spongebob > G-Force and The Berenstien Bears < Naruto.

Everyone has their favorite shows. And there is talent all over the world! If you truly like animation then you shouldn't limit yourself to a particular style.

I grew up watching Speed Racer, Mario, and when I was in Germany - Candy Candy. So, that's all normal to me. It's more about what kind of anime you are into.

For example, I've been watching dragon ball longer then you've heard of it. But never got passed the first season - how boring!

I like romantic comedies. I'm trying out a couple scary ones now. Avatar is fun, but it's not considered anime only because it's not Japanese. I think if you look up Avatar: the last airbender on wiki, you should get the full story on that. Cool or not, it's not anime.

I like HS or College stories more then Jr. High. Their idea of Senior HS is more impressive then our stories about adults - and the trials they go through, too.

So, I'm all about Anime....okay and Avatar, and disney cartoons. :)

*.*.*Gummi bears....bouncing here and there and everywhere. High adventures that's beyond compare. They are the Gummi bears....They are the Gummi Bears!

I like some cartoons too and avatar is awasome, but anime pwns all the way!!!

Excel Saga, Bleach, Shakugan no Shana, Lucky Star, The melancholey of Haruhi Suzimaya, gintama, claymore, elfen lied & sometimes naruto are all not just great anime, certainly not just brilliant animated shows, but they are amongst some of the best entertainment I've experienced from any type of media format.

Anyone who says anime sucks obvuiously has no idea that there are hundreds of genres and dozens of new shows every season. Anyone that simple minded to write off the entire industry due to watching a few dodgy shows has no worth to their opinion. I don' t call all American TV utter crap just because desperate housewives sent me to sleep.

I like Japanese Anime than USA Cartoons!

I have to say I used to watch a lot of Aime. I was into it when it wasn't "cool" yet. And although I really wanted to see it become more popular, it's not been the greatest thing.

I'm SO sick of stories that never end! Even some of the series I did enjoy, Inu-Yasha, Ranma 1/2, and others, just got too long and old, and I eventually gave up on them all together! They all started out interesting and then got into a rut with the main characters caught up in an almost infinite loop of cookie cutter story lines that never seemed to end.

I've always liked either a series like Futurama or South Park, where if you haven't seen every episode, it's OK, because each episode is pretty much a new fun fresh story, or series like the El Hazard OAV, Fushigi Yugi, or Escaflowne that have a beginning, middle and end. You know....actual story progression!

I just think it's been over saturated and most of the them seem very formulaic to me. Even the ones I like!

I pretty much just read Manga now, and stick with Japanese animated movies only now. Hayao Miyazaki never disappoints me!

US cartoons are okay, but note the OK
I've tried a few but there isn't a single plot that follows through
it's just new random stuff everyday
except for some like avatar (don't watch it but my brother does) it's okay
most anime have an idea that the whole thing goes around. like... Ryoma reaching the championships, naruto wanting to become hokage (and a bunch of other stuff), Light trying to create the perfect world (until he died), and lots more
*getting tried of typing* "I know I'm lazy"
so yeah...
the AB conversation was hilarious
but so true
so both are cool but anime owns cartoons
^_^

oh yes anime is cartoons, both sides need to remove some of the delusions from their mind

A, cartoons does not imply that they are just for kids (though this thought was never implied in the skit)

B. yes, anime ALL ANIME is cartoons be it from japan they are just as much a cartoon as mickey mouse and bugs bunny


as per my prefurance, for the most part I prefure anime, though an avid fan off old school cartoons like flintsones and jetsons. though shows like narutard and dorkuyasha are really making me change my mind.

I love anime! It rocks!
For one most anime isn't all goody goody and cuses a little bit. I mean could you imagine spongebob even saying damn?
Anime also actually has a story line....most american cartoons don't have a story line. Like family guy....what is the story line in that?
Its also better drawn. I love how the eyes look in anime way more interesting than like say....american dads eyes....there just so boring!
Its also cool knowing you watching something that was most likely created in another country like Japan.
So yea anime is the best

EDIT-And for you people who say Avatar is a cartoon? Its not its anime....^-^

there's a mistake:

'anime' is japanese terms refer to the word 'animation'. but the japanese pronounce that word as 'animesyon' or for short term, 'anime'. guys, keep it on ur mind that the word 'anime' is not refer to japanese cartoons but the japanese pronounce that word with their own pronounce instead.
