I don't understand why suddenly anyone who likes japanese cartoons is suddenly "garbage". It really bugs me.
What kind of advantage do american cartoons or comicbooks enjoy that, talking about those, don't bring the same kind of backlash as saying "Oh, hey, I like japanese cartoons, anyone knows one I should watch?"
REALLY, it annoys me to hell and back, and it's not the only example. Anyone remembers or knows Asterix? It seems mentioning that comicbook strip or it's cartoon films brings any kind of backlash from americans ranging from "lolfrance" to "Get the hell out of here, Eurofag(sic)". Tintin suffered a similar reaction, until the newer AMERICAN CGI film that made it more "acceptable", so to speak. Wakfu possibly gets it worse for going for anime-esque artstyle. But nobody minds Avatar: The Last Airbender's anime-esque art style, eh?
... Regardless...
@Quietguy11: Sorry I derailed your thread to rant a bit, but it's something I've noticed from 2007 onwards and it just... enrages me. Probably because when I was growing up in 90s mexico, EVERYTHING for kids in public TV was anime, with american cartoons being reserved solely for cable and satellite services, and as such I have many fond memories linked with japanese animation. Either way... I went last saturday with a friend watch Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods on the theater. I really liked it! It was... QUITE different from I was expecting, and it was a huge blast! It had the same voiceactors we had in the anime here in Mexico* performing the characters once more, and the last DBZ movie we had here on theaters was the first Broly one. If you like that show, you'd like the movie.
*DBZ Kai in Mexico tanked here horribly. In part for being the american censored version when we were used to the original in all it's carnage, but mostly because they changed almost every voice actor, decision that didn't bothered only fans, but anyone who grew on that show. You can't quite grasp the cultural impact that show had here unless you witness it first-hand.
