I'll try since right now im still 75% asleep and my brain no work early
To me, overall a lot of them the animation is many times better then american cartoons. Yes there are the good looking women in there, but there is actual good story lines to follow. If you really pay attention, the stories get really deep and make you think. Theres a lot more but since I am still asleep right now and only had about 5 1/2 hours of sleep, im not doing a good job right now.
Now lets talk about manga (comics). Manga is similiar to the anime in that the series is in graphical novel format. Most of the time you have a different ending in the manga and througout the story there are things here and there that were totally different then the anime, therefore giving you a somewhat different storyline, yet staying similiar to the anime. That way you dont lose interest and it keeps you on your toes.
