[QUOTE="Villano, post: 1148581, member: 505"] I disagree. I think animation, like all other forms of media, eventually comes down to writing. Batman did action and drama better than some anime. And some anime are much funnier than US cartoons. The problem I have with TT is that the anime-style stuff seems to be used hap hazardly. For me, it's okay when someone gets a cartoony expression when shocked, scared, etc., but things like in the Mad Mod episode when they were looking in the cartoon holes and Cyborg's huge head came out of one seemed too out there. Japanese cartoons also make this, imo at least, style mistake. Rorouni Kenshin falls into this when it goes from (literal) life or death situations to someone's head growing 20 times in size. When things like this happen in more comedy oriented shows, like Tenchi Muyo, it isn't so bad (and even then it isn't done that often). To use comic terms, it would be like George Perez going super-deformed. If you buy a comic by George Perez, you don't expect that and it clashes with his other art. [/QUOTE]
