Hentai question(

[DMKA]

DMKA is correct though, cartoons in America are typically targeted at children therefore usually containing material that is entertaining to children. In Japan, they are targeted at a much bigger audience, thus containing relative content.

I see I've made my point to atleast one person. Thank you.

Just as you say anime appeals to more general people, I know for a fact that there's thousands of animes that appeal to children only, without nudity or violence in Japan. What makes those animes different from cartoons here? What about violent cartoons here compared to your form of anime? Until someone makes a difinitive difference between the two, I'll always refuse to acknowledge the two as completely different.

If you'd of read my entire post, you'd have seen I mentioned that.

Tell me, how many "violent cartoons" have there been on American TV? Of course, by violent I assume you mean "not for children". Spawn and Reign are the only two I can think of. Also, adult comedy anime (like Love Hina, Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemi) don't look all cartoony (like say, Family Guy or the Simpsons), which, despite how much I love some of those shows, I completely hate the style. I like the anime style. I hate when people look all disproportioned and hardly resemble a human shape. Anime does sometimes do the chibi thing, but you never see anime characters that look like Fred Flinstone.

Also all the things that were mentioned about anime everything being like "this" or like "that" is complete prejudice and ignorance. I've seen plenty that is similar, yes, but I've seen plenty that is nothing like any of the others.

In short, anime is a genre with genres within itself. The difference between it and "cartoons" is too huge and varied to distingush to people who won't give it a chance and say "OMG I H8 TEH ANIMEE ITS ALL TEH SAME WITH TEH BIG EYES ANMD CARTOON PRON AND STUPID AN ALL THE SAME I HATE IT!"
