I never knew, that America made anime too.
Anime is... ehh.. like Japan's thingie..
Typical of America to rip off every success from other countries, just to make money themselves. *bows and apologizes to the americans in here*

I doubt that the amr. 'anime' would ever become as good as the japanese.

hm i dont think thats true. i've only heard of a company named japanimation. im not sure.

An american friend of mine swore it was true but he wasn't really into anime!

hm then i guess u cant really trust him with anime huh? Maybe ppl who are not familiar w anime call it japanimation but im pretty sure those in the licensing industry call it Anime.

The American manga Van VonHunter is pretty good.
I also like Avatar the Last Airbender, and Martin Mystery (I think it is Canadian not sure)
Totally Spies........totally sucks!!!!
But some american cartoons that imitate anime are pretty good, I like The Teen Titans
Isn't it a compliment to be copied???

[post removed]

dont worry^^ thats totally reasonable. i didnt even know that Anime came from Japan until a few years later. I called it Cartoons =X tragic I know. now i know better^^

I agree Avatar is a really good series^^ I really like it but I'm really disappointed a wat had become to Prince Zuko lately.. sigh

I havent seen Martin Mystery yet. maybe i'll check it out ^^

Well for starters there isnt much that equates to anime in America because culturally our cartoons have a completly different target audience, mainly 8 year olds. Comparing the two is usless, so to say Americans can't make "anime" isn't really fair, because at the moment we arn't trying very hard as a culture. We're just now starting to see hints of it here and there, but something will have to really make it big and deserve the attention in order to catalyze an American anime movement. Wait for it, it'll come, I guarentee it. They style is arleady popular, but the fan base just isn't forgiving when it comes to non-Japanese artists. There won't be American anime until there's a fan base ready to recive it.

There are great english manga/comics. I do read comics release by DC and Vertigo but don't collect them, they were so expensive, well even now. Though I LOVE Neil Gaiman's "SANDMAN". Believe me its a manga/comics you'll not want to miss.
