Should cartoons be replaced by Anime?

2 Day's ago I started to watch the anime "Great Teacher Onizuka", yesterday I finished the series.
And when I woke up today I turned on the TV. There they are "Ed, Edd an' Eddy"... I watched the program, not for entertainment but merely to compare, after that it was "Cow and Chicken".
In the middle of that I turned off the TV, and thought "What the hell I am watching?"

The cartoons, at least the espisodes I watched, had no mening, no depth, no humor nor any techings at all.
They throw TV's and refrigirators at eachother and it merely hurt them at all. They tried to steal money from a other kid ect.
Besides the ways the characters is drawn is terrible.

Now I compared it to anime, which often have a purpose:
Anime for kids: Pokemon and Digimon - Teach you to belive in yourself, and that friends are important.

Now I don't claim that all anime is better, since I havent seen all.
But for what I've seen, I think some cartoons should be replaced.

PS: I made the exact same topic on an other forum, I just wanted some different oppinions.

No.

Pokemon is trash compared to American kids cartoons, incidently. Junniper Lee, Kim Possible, Danny Phantom, all the animated DCU stuff, the new Ninja Turtles cartoon, hell, even the old Ninja Turtles cartoon ... god, even American Dragon is less awful then Pokemon. Pokemon has a message? You can spraypaint "believe in yourself" on the trash of the city dump, but it will still be garbage.

Come to think of it, the animated DCU stuff is better then most of what comes out of Japan, period.

I was talking about the part of Thanos' post where he talks about how "Ed Ed and Eddy" is such a terrible kids cartoon, but OMG, Pokemon and Digimon and Japanese kids' cartoons have a message.

No becouse Tom And Jerry still rule

I don't know theres alot of anime that has alot of swearing...but anime is more adult humour.....Like school rumble, thats some funny shit....swearing, mocking, aliens?, fighting........................
Nevermind I'm talking crazy

GO ANIME!!!

hmm i have to say in a way yes, because most cartoons nowadays rarely are as great as the classics, Ed,edd,eddie is in no way as entertaining as tom& jerry was or even Ninja Turtles...heck power rangers were even better than most cartoons we have nowadays...

Calvs put it well. I think Anime is more for the mature, while most American cartoons are for ages... 8 and below.

Well, no. Most of the anime we get in the US that's on TV is incredibly dumbed down, and was initially intended for younger audiences than it is marketed to in the US.

And not all American cartoons are dumb or kiddy, either.

I didn't say they were.

And I prefer the dumebd down Anime as opposed to the original ones in Japan.

Some of em are REALLY freaky. Like Sailor Moon, for instance...

I prefer the unaltered originals...and Sailormoon is tame.

I didn't say anything about dubbed or subbed. Just that if it's on the TV in the US, you can guarantee it's been edited to hell and is marketed at an older age group than originally intended.

Sailor moos freaky enough, what with the middle school girls having crushes on twenty year old guys, and the fact that you can see their naked outlines when they transform.

O heys, lets not forget that one feature length movie they made (Forgot the name of the baddie) were he gropes Serenas (Spelling) breasts in orser to get her amulet/jewel/w/e.

Also the bad guy was gay on top of it.

Never! The Batman Superman adventures were good.

These are just some cool fights in the series. I can't post the story in clips obviously, you would just have to watch the rest of the episodes from staret to finish to see stories. The Batman series, Xmen 90s and Spiderman 90s were also the best!.

Heck, Rugrats and stuff like that is entertaining! aswell!!!! BAHAHHAAH *eats bread* BAHHAHAHAH

Middle school in Japan is a different age range than the US, someone in their last year of middle school is usually 14. Mamoru was 18, not 20. And that is incredibly common all over the world.

Wow, you see a naked outline that shows no detail whatsoever and isn't even flesh-colored or anything, it's the end of the world. Don't be such a prude 😛

And, uh, which bad guy are you talking about? There's many bad guys, and I don't recall any of them being gay.
