America is focused if not obsessed about making you laugh whereas Japan manages to cover and discuss numerous aspects including comedy, love, drama, social issues, fantasy, etc. Japan easily wins in diversity and depth. |
No offense, but you must be watching the wrong American cartoons. Not all American cartoons are just for laughs. In fact, a great number of them are not. There have been, for many decades, generally two different types of cartoon series: comedy ones, whose point is to be silly and make you laugh, and then story-driven cartoons, whose point to tell a continuing, character and event focused plot. Ignoring all the American cartoons that provide everything you just mentioned (comedy, love, drama, issues, etc.), and just pointing out the silly ones and saying "ANIME WINS", is rather naive. Just saying.
