>Why are Americans so shit
should've stopped there

>people that make good manga look at all different kinds of art that aren’t just manga
>Americans who want to draw in an anime style have only looked at anime.

>no ATLA, Samurai Jack, PPG, Boondocks, Teen Titans, Shantae, River City Girls because then my strawman falls apart

>>7216085
sorry, I just can't help myself.

Idk ghost of tsushima was pretty tight bro even the japs liked it

>>7216081
why do bugmen just copy disney animation just with pedophilia and giant bug eyes and no noses? do they think that makes it good? have they ever created anything original?

Except for like Castlevania bro

>>7216081
Japs love RWBY for some weird reason.

>>7216081
What are you a millenial?

>dark souls
total incoherent retarded nip shit. trying too hard to be le edgy medieval european dark ages. they should stick to writing what they know, like samurai weeb shit

>>7216081
Okay but RWBY is actually good tho

RWBY was really great before Monty died, S tier character designs, endearing characters despite the poor writing, interesting enough world, and S tier fight scenes.

Too bad it all went to shit

It’s okay. Great is a huge stretch. I can’t think of any other series where the freedom fighters fighting against a corrupt and oppressive society were the bad guys.

I only watched like the first season and it was an extremely mediocre meh.
Anything cool just felt like a copy and pasted anime trope/scene.

Like as an amateur indie thing it was fine, but not nearly deserving of the praise it got. Like RvB was a funny web show, but that’s in large part because we’re willing to look past the flaws we wouldn’t give to professional works

>>7216081
the online web comic devil's candy is pretty close to japanese designs.

But RWBY and hunnie pop do ape the anime style well; the dragon ball movie is just the usual hollywood bullshit; cappa mikey isn't trying to perfectly look like anime, but just clearly reference it; what's wrong with sudeki?; children's drawing books always tend to be very hit or miss, plenty of them are shit despite regardless of whether their manga/anime influenced or not; and finally, those two white guys look super fly, what are you trying to say about them?

It's an apples to oranges comparison anyway - you're comparing Japanese media that is thematically influenced by the West, to Western media that is more so visually inspired by Japan.

Megas XLR, or steven universe (as much as I loath that show) would be a better and fairer comparison, for example.

Ironically, it's the cartoons that don't attempt to ape anime that get the most popular in Japan (Wacky Races, PPG, South Park, that CGI Donkey Kong Country cartoon, etc.).
Which makes sense - why would anybody watch cartoons that are just a poor imitation of their own domestic products?

>>7216724
Nothing ironic about that. It would be ironic if the cartoons you mentioned actively tried to be unpopular in Nippon.

RWBY is popular in Sushiland, there's multiple manga, light novel, 2d anime, all the seasons of the 3d animation are dubbed in their language, Japanese artists do fanart of it all the time and said artists have a lot of followers, etc.
It's bizarre that Japs like RWBY so much because RWBY is just an amalgamation of Soul Eater, Black Rock Shooter, old Kung Fu movies & fighting video games.
RWBY is utter garbage except the porn.
