I don't have to watch the video to know that the answer is no.

Watch what you want. Don't be a dick.

Most cartoons are for kids. Anime appeals to a much broader audience.

The Japanese have never created anything as good as Ed Edd n Eddy or King of the Hill. This is fact.

So are most cartoons, hell pretty much any you can still watch and enjoy as a adult fall into the broader category.

I'm sorry, but I think it's time we all stopped lying to ourselves on this one. Western animation, or AMERICAN animation as what is usually contextually emphasized, has NOTHING on Japanese animation. You just ain't going to find the level of variation to go from Lucky Star, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gundam, Death Note, Monster, & Cowboy Bebop within American animation, unless you include things like the DCAU & premium stuff like Netflix/Amazon originals. The rest of American animation is either kids stuff or another Simpsons clone, when it comes to adult animation.

Not watching the video

Most anime is shitty IMO. Horny artists making "oops I fell on your boobs" jokes and annoying tropey characters. Terrible voice direction for so many actresses, they are made unnaturally screechy and high-pitched because they think it's cute.

There are some great anime shows but even a lot of those still feature many of these tropes.

Western animation for kids is generally better. But anime has been widely adult-facing for longer than western animation so it has had more opportunities to make things that appeal to adults.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it

I wish Anim was called Japanese Cartoons, because it's not animated most of the time. They pan elaborate backgrounds, the characters stay still, and only mouths move. If anything should be called "Anim", it ought to be American Cartoons, because they're actually animated.

My comment was in regards to shows made for all ages, not just for kids, or adults specifically. And while western shows don't have much in regards to certain genres that doeasnt mean its shows aren't vastly different still. Ed edd n eddy, courage the cowardly dog, adventure time, Steven universe, gravity falls, Ben ten, Jimmy neutron, and so on.

And don't even get me started on Disney and Pixar movies.

I think people overrate most anime by alot based on the exceptional shows, and conflate it to Japanese animation as a whole. When in reality the vast majority of it is either forgetful shovelware, fan service herem trash, merchandising fronts or try hard pseudo intellectual garbage.
