Poll: Do prefer western or eastern animation?

[Outright Villainy]

Both. However, I'll give it to eastern simply because full metal alchemist is my favourite show ever. (tied with firefly, maybe even a little better.)

 

[Rot Krieg]

I like the general style of anime better, but generally I prefer the storytelling methods of western animation better.

 

[Alandoril]

Eastern animation with a western budget.

Western animation with eastern aesthetic sensibilities.

Both own.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

I like both I guess...

I prefer Anime over Western animation nowadays, but I do love alot of cartoons pre-2000...

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

They're all cartoons to me. If I like the story, characters, and art style, I'll watch it. National origin is only for categorizing.

 

[GundamSentinel]

When I was a kid, western. Western cartoons were more child friendly. Right now eastern, because it has more themes that appeal to grownups.

 

[Ekit]

I don't care where it comes from. I prefer GOOD animation.

 

[gjendemsjo]

Haven't watched that much Eastern(Japanese) animation so I'm gonna have to say western animation(Tom and Jerry is also my favorite show ever).

 

[Sacman]

I actually dig shows that combines eastern animation with western animation, like this one.

I liked Ergo Proxy's look more...
it has that similar Renaissance look to it but mixed with CyberPunk and Post-Apocalypse punk too...
OT: I enjoy both though most of my favorites are Eastern...

 

[Blue_vision]

I'm alright with both, but I find that Eastern style is able to create a serious tone more easily than Western does. Not to say that Western style animation isn't able to be serious, but it takes more dedication imo.

 

[wolf thing]

i love all animation, it doesn't matter what style

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I like them both! I watch Eastern and Western anime on a regular basis...

Spoiler

I know this off my own topic, but is that the forign language versian of the theme? I never really watched the Tick, so I wouldn't know.

Hmmm good intro, that anime was on my list for a really long time but I didnt want to watch it cuz it sorta looks depressing...

 

[AwesomeExpress]

There are some shows in both worlds which I would prefer did not exist, but also there are many from both worlds that I love very much! So I'ma have to go with both.

it is a little when it start off but it lightens up quite a bit. I'm working on a review for it right now if you wanna check it out when I'm done...
it also has a kickass ending too...
it's freakin Radiohead!!!

 

[Serenegoose]

I don't have a preference, really. I was watching a few old episodes of stuff like batman and Justice league, and it was surprisingly entertaining, and I know I have a huge fondness for things like ghost in the shell. The way I see it, they're not in competition, so why pick?

 

[Azure Sky]

Depends, personally I think the 'Eastern Style' is better, overall.

However, there are some great 'Western Style' products that come out (Toy Story 3, for example).

Agreed, I also prefer the eastern styles, if only for the fact I have seen very little western animation.
I also tend to like the story/plot of eastern over western, but that is just preference I guess.

Also, Is that a Lafiel avatar?
