Dragon Ball has a HUGE fan base and it scares me.

There's only 3 versions, original DB, DB-Z, and DBZ-GT.  The first 2 versions were very good but the latter one sucked so bad.  Dragon Ball franchise also had 10 movies.  

Dragon Ball is old and it just won't die.  The franchise still make billions of dollars from manga, DVDs, collection items, and video games. Profits from DragonballZ are higher in USA than in Japan!   They won't stop beating this dead horse unless they can no longer make a profit out of it.

Apparently you've seen none of the animations he mentioned.

The difference between great animation and the low-end anime crap is twelve frames per second versus three per second....between faces that change expression naturally and smoothly and a face that changes expression in a jerky fashion...between a mouth that appears to actually be forming sounds and a mouth moves up and down in only two frames...or a back ground with two basic scenes that alternate back and forth several times to simulate movement or scenes that flow naturally one into another.

That's the difference between animation masterpieces of Disney, Warner Bros., 1940s Max Fleischer Superman cartoons, and Dragon Ball Z.

the Godzilla thing you mentioned is a Tokusatsu ("cheap camera trick effects" shows for kids), not Anime.

Check out "Grave of the Fireflies" and "Barefoot Gen" and you'll never see anime/animation the same way again.

I've seen plenty.

The point I was making was the voice characterizations of Looney Toons, 80% of which were Mel Blanc's, were a big part of why WB cartoons are still great 60+ years after their creation.

Instead of a reply referring to the talent of Mel Blanc, I get a catalog of Japanese cartoons, none of which have the humor of the classic theatrical shorts.

The best animation I've ever seen is the original B&W Popeye cartoons. They were 3-D. I'm still amazed by them.

No doubt that Mel Blanc is very talented.  His death does not mean he took down US animation to the grave too.  US animation is alive and well and are the pioneer and leader of CG animation.  Look at the stuff that Pixar and Disney is doing with the CG stuff right now.  They may be creating movies by using computer graphics but technically that's still animation.
