Should cartoons be replaced by Anime?

Animes and American cartoons have very different objectives. An anime is about the story, the detailed art, the life lessons, and whatever.

American cartoons are for humorous purposes. They aren't going for realistic characters, plots, actions, or anything like that. That is why they're cartoons and not live-action television shows.

They both have their place and neither should replace the other.

Couldn't have said it better myself! ✅ 🐰 My cousin doesn't watch anime because she doesn't like serious cartoons. Though I seriously think she's missing out, without good ol' cartoons like Spongebob and what not, people like her wouldn't have cartoons to watch at all. They serve completely different purposes, anime's deeper than cartoons, we need'em both! I know I love Spongebob, Angry Beavers and what not! ✅

Not necessarily, on any of your points. There are anime that are just cracked out and are for laughs, and there are American cartoons that actually follow a cohesive plot from episode to episode.

Though I do agree that neither should replace the other. As I said before, anime are cartoons.

Also, like Lana said, anime ARE cartoons.

Okay, that's not what I meant, I guess that didn't sound right...I guess, what I'm trying to say is, anime is a different style of cartoons. And they're both different in their own way. For example, I LOVE anime, while I like cartoons a lot. I'm an anime freak, but not a cartoon freak, if that makes any sense. I'm more interested the anime style of cartoons, while others prefer the non-anime style of cartoons. Good point.

besides, what about those american cartoons you loved growing up? i highly doubt you'd just push those aside

That's the point I GREW UP. I don't have need for that stuff anymore. I don't laugh at silly faces and shouting anymore.

Even though there's stuff like that in anime, too? 😛

American cartoons are as diverse as anime, you know, they're not all for kids.

Well yeah, But the majority of Anime is marketed (in the us) to teenagers, while cartoons are marketed towards like 10-

i don't think the Heavy Metal series nor Bill Plympton cartoons are aimed towards children...

Yeah, but a lot of the anime that's shown in the US and marketed to teens was originally intended for a younger audience.

And there are LOTS of American cartoons that are aimed at an older audience.

I don't think South Park was aimed towards younger kids either^^

WOW, I don't see where I said all of american cartoons are for kids. 😐

no but it is and we cant really stop it u know?i really like anima but look toonami for a fact got taken of from every day at 4 to saterday a 7 or whatever it suck's.

I really don't see why it should be replaced by another form of animation. They both kinda have their own area. Most American cartoons are aimed towards kids. Most Animes are aimed towards teens and adults. I've noticed a while back that some American cartoons have some anime elements. Well, whether you enjoy kiddie entertainment or not; there isn't really a good enough reason to replace it.

And as I've said before several times...this is not necessarily true, on any count.

are you sure that all anime is for then teens most of the smaller children like the blood, gore, and violence so is it right to say that these anime are directed to teens and mature audiences.

its directed to all who view it.
