I think the question is kinda silly because it really depends on the individual story.
I love animation and sequential art in general. Regardless of where it is from. The reason why I tend to prefer anime is because I like how they have story arcs rather than just being episodic. I also like how an anime can bring forth a variety of emotions and feels less restricted by whatever it's genre is. I also like the willingness to tackle serious subject matter in animated form rather than the sorta western taboo where if something is animated then it has to be "silly" or can't be taken seriously. Of course this is not to say that cartoons never have story arcs, a variety of emotion, or tackle serious subject matter but I feel like even nowadays animation and sequential art are still looked down on in the west. Like there's this idea if you want to make a serious movie then it should be live action even when ironically a lot of live action movies are becoming more and more cartoony. Which isn't a bad thing. I just think it would be a good thing for animation to be taken more seriously. Finally I think while it is cool to see animated shows that are for instance made in Japan by Japanese people intended for a Japanese audience I also like seeing artistic collaboration between people of different nationalities or different ethnic and social backgrounds. I suppose this is getting into a bit of "diversity" and I do not like when it is forced upon artists who are just trying to tell their own stories. But when it happens naturally I think it's amazing. Lastly, while I do enjoy comedic and humorous animated shows I would like to see a bit more sincerity and heart written into the stories of western animation. |
