Sintime: Anime Artist usually know how to draw a lot better than Western English ones, I don't see why that's a problem, if it's not drawn better, then it has a more of "unique" look which is done on purpose.
Sintime: Anime is Cookie cutter? Compare the average American cartoon, lets say ... family guy,futura ect. with FMA, in terms of art and style, storyline, there's nothing to compare, and let's not get on anime OVA's which have more work put in into them generally. It's like a drunk 12 year old drew these cartoons and we just get used to it and accept it as "passing" and think it's ok
Anonymous24: Hey sintime that's a horrible camparison like apples to mangos bad. True both are fruit or in this case animated, however the message from FMA is to tell an involved story. Family Guy is pure entertainment and should be compared with something more applicable like Shin-chan.
Sintime: Shin-chan is very outdated anime and also very old animated style, If you want to go for entertainment purposes, I'll take something I recently watched that was pure entertainment (comedy) "Magipoka/Magical Pokan" it doesn't have an involved story at all, all the episodes are random and don't really make sense. Even so, it still manages to be better animated/drawn at it's very worst, than at family guys, very best. Take old 90's 80's anime, even the original GUNDAM anime is better drawn than the up-to-date western cartoons with all their digital gimmicks,and other technology to draw for them.
Anonymous27(15): The only thing U.S. cartoons have over anime is the framerate. Smoother animation. That's it. As far as character design goes they seem to be in a never-ending contest to come up with the most bizarre, Picasso-on-bad-acid-doing-a-2-minute-sketch shit possible. Anime on the other hand pretty much has it set in stone that you must have at least somewhat attractive characters so you can make a lot of money on the side putting them in magazines and selling figurines.
Anonymous28: Anime is a polished turd. It's pretty much limited animation being stylised so as to pass off as eye-candy. Don't get me started on the voice acting.
From someone who can't think of a single beautifully animated western TV cartoon.
Anonymous31: Anon28 is apparently unaware of the entire Warner Bros. output of 1940-1956. Poor dumb philistine -- you've never seen What's Opera Doc? Never seen Fantasia? Man, has your life been limited.
Anonymous32(28): ^Dude, what you're quoting here was NOT made for TV, it was made for theaters, for God's sake. When I say TV cartoons, it means what it means - cartoons destined to TV, like Family Guy et al.
AnOniMouse: I just realised that ALL the cartoons I liked as a kid other than Loony Tunes and Tom and Jerry were all anime...
Digimon
Porkyman
Dragonball
Dragonball Z up to a point, until the story just went stupid.
Beyblade... Also up to the 'we've been on air too long lets think of more story..ohwaittghsisshit'
And some others.
AnOniMouse: And then there were the first to seasons o' Yu-Gi-Oh. Also up till the stupid storyline.
But what about Avatar? Where DID that come from... That was prettt good. And the Teen Titans cartoon. Don't think they are Japanese...
AnOniMouse: Look, the point I think I'm trying to badly make here is that good storylines and good art can come from anywhere. But that Family Guy is a steaming pile of elephant pooh and that Seth Green is an idiot.
Anime still wins though. They did Space Battleship Yamato, and the Americans fucked it up in the English version.
Sintime: @Anonimouse you sound kind of like me,
But the U.S. Cartoons I liked were
Ducktails
MightyMax
TailsSpin
Rescue Rangers
Thunder-Cats
Transformers
Pirates of DarkWater
Swat Katts ammoung other,
Also Realized how much better U.S. cartoons were back in the day, compared to now ...
Also realized how many furry characters were in those cartoons, hmm
For anime's they seriously raped the hell out of them, removing the music out of them was a bad idea, and replacing it with a monotone singular voice, i.e. Digimon,
But I remember G-Force
Voltron
Speed-Racer
Techno-Man
Dragonball
SailorMoon
Monster Rancher
Vampire Hunter D
Dragon Ball Z, Ok seeing that Saturday monring at 6 a.m. on WB or whatever (before it became popular
up that point I've never seen fighting on that level in an animated Cartoon.
AnOniMouse: Not really. It just was a mess. Yamato, the first series is the best thing I've ever had the pleasure to watch. It took a ridiculous amount of scifi ideas and made them the i onic scifi clichés. It has been referenced in such stupidly ranging things as Koie's Naval Ops: Warship Gunner, all they way to Starcraft. The only enduring Robotech are the second rate Revel model kits.
Anonymous38: @Vacuitymechanica (pls remind me to choose a shorter name when I make an account) how do u not see that it is porn? But u must be right, because a penis going in a vagina is obviously not porn, stupid me...
Anonymous39: @ all the people bitching about tv shows.
Jesus Christ! People! Get over it! Its just a fucking tv show! It doesnt matter where the fuck it came from. Just that its here, its somewhat funny to watch, get over it!
Anonymous43: Definitely should've featured the Clockwork Orange crossover one instead, not only is it the only good Clockwork pic, but it was also created by one of the show's artists (the best kind of 34). Titanium should change the feature to that one, if that is even possible.

This has been happening for years now, can't these assholes fix their shit website?
Where do you see a penis going into a vagina? I only see some chick straddling a naked dude who looks terrified and likely flaccid.
However, that does qualify for rule 8 of him.
