Poll: Do prefer western or eastern animation?

[Midnight Crossroads]

They're all cartoons to me. If I like the story, characters, and art style, I'll watch it. National origin is only for categorizing.

 

[GundamSentinel]

When I was a kid, western. Western cartoons were more child friendly. Right now eastern, because it has more themes that appeal to grownups.

 

[Ekit]

I don't care where it comes from. I prefer GOOD animation.

 

[gjendemsjo]

Haven't watched that much Eastern(Japanese) animation so I'm gonna have to say western animation(Tom and Jerry is also my favorite show ever).

 

[Sacman]

I actually dig shows that combines eastern animation with western animation, like this one.

I liked Ergo Proxy's look more...
it has that similar Renaissance look to it but mixed with CyberPunk and Post-Apocalypse punk too...
OT: I enjoy both though most of my favorites are Eastern...

 

[Blue_vision]

I'm alright with both, but I find that Eastern style is able to create a serious tone more easily than Western does. Not to say that Western style animation isn't able to be serious, but it takes more dedication imo.

 

[wolf thing]

i love all animation, it doesn't matter what style

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I like them both! I watch Eastern and Western anime on a regular basis...

Spoiler

I know this off my own topic, but is that the forign language versian of the theme? I never really watched the Tick, so I wouldn't know.

Hmmm good intro, that anime was on my list for a really long time but I didnt want to watch it cuz it sorta looks depressing...

There are some shows in both worlds which I would prefer did not exist, but also there are many from both worlds that I love very much! So I'ma have to go with both.

it is a little when it start off but it lightens up quite a bit. I'm working on a review for it right now if you wanna check it out when I'm done...
it also has a kickass ending too...
it's freakin Radiohead!!!

 

[Serenegoose]

I don't have a preference, really. I was watching a few old episodes of stuff like batman and Justice league, and it was surprisingly entertaining, and I know I have a huge fondness for things like ghost in the shell. The way I see it, they're not in competition, so why pick?

 

[Azure Sky]

Depends, personally I think the 'Eastern Style' is better, overall.

However, there are some great 'Western Style' products that come out (Toy Story 3, for example).

Agreed, I also prefer the eastern styles, if only for the fact I have seen very little western animation.
I also tend to like the story/plot of eastern over western, but that is just preference I guess.

Also, Is that a Lafiel avatar?

Wow thats pretty cool, and from looking at old threads people have said its a good anime.

I will watch it when I have free time (Which might be a year from now )

 

[Sacman]

Words n' Shit...

yeah I kept on procrastinating at first but than I heard the ending theme so I had to watch it... I love Radiohead... but Funimation posted all the episodes on youtube...

 

[TheLaofKazi]

It depends.
There are good western and good eastern animations.
There's bad western and bad eastern animations.
However, Anime (eastern) has more serious things to offer then Western animation does.

Pretty much this.

That's the one thing that annoys me about a lot of Western animation, most of it is cartoons. Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama for TV, and stuff like Toy Story for movies. I mean there's nothing wrong with cartoons or anything, but anime definitely seems to have more variety then Western animation.

 

[TheComedown]

Eastern animation from the viewpoint of an American

That's European animation(also note the title of the video) which is in an entirely different matter.

OP: I'm not really an anime fan so I would have to say I like western animations better.

Yes, yes it is.

I hate to put such a short answer, but; It really depends on the show.

There are good and bad shows from each.
