Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack are two fantastic modern cartoons.

I heard China actually cancelled programs such as The Simpsons, PokeMon, and another foreign cartoon (family guy maybe) during prime time because their cartoon industry is faultering.  Thus forcing children to either watch chinese made cartoons ORRRR go do something else, watch a movie for a few hours perhaps.  After they spent all that money on their cartoon industry hardly anyone will watch it, so they have to try and force it upon them.

It's part of the drawing style and culture.

No idea. Girlfriend recognised it from our public library. Apparently the very first page of the manga series is a guy raping a girl, who turns into a monster and tries to kill him.

Surprisingly, not my style of read.

Dunno, but i think it's something anime artists do when they create cute characters.

The Berzerk that was mentioned earlier has a different style

Berserk does get a little strange toward the end of the DVD collection. It Introduces demons and such.  People either like it or they hate it.

Another anime classic IMHO.



The early combination artists and computer animation.

i dont noe, i really dont like the average cartoon on tv now. I grow up in the 90s and i remember transformers and GI JOE. I was watching it the other day, i love how they land the f14 in the middle of the woods and take off like nothin:lol .

Adult swim is great, but the show arent meant for kids aswell as shos like family guy and maybe the simpsons(i have seen EVERY episode). Too many political and adult jokes that would go right over kids heads. I miss when bart had the water ballon fight with nelson. Shows like moral orel push the limits, last episode was about doin "number 3" very funny but i spent the whole 13 minutes with my mouth hanging open in disbelief. Yes u hav to push it alittle but u have to noe when enough is enough, watch that episode and we will see what im saying.

As far as jap cartoons, yes alot of them are crap, but somethin like samuri champloo will come out, or something like ghost in a shell which was a thick story line.

Look at tv all together, look at the 90s and now. Somethin like wild boys wouldnt even make it through the door of a studio, its a funny show(i can watch steve-o throw up all day) but a 9 year old really shouldnt be watchin 2 guys hump donkeys or eat elephant crap.

just my 2 cents.

go team venture

and GO JOE

I heard there's gonna be a GiTS Movie this fall (Solid State Society).  Bandai warns Fansubbers not to sub this movie and distribute them online or they'll face legal action (dang... no preview for me!)

If i got money to burn i'll buy GiTS, Macross, and Ranma1/2
