Hanna-Barbara style died about the same time Hanna-Barbara did

Change with the times, I dont recall watching Road Runner and wishing it was in black and white, with no sound...

Thats because sound is good and colour is good.

Asianization of cartoons is not good or for the better, it's different .. i don't like cartoons that give you an epileptic fit with flashing lights etc

How many epileptic fits have you had watching recent cartoons?

Also, they arent all jap anyway. Look at all the new s*** from Warner Bros and Gennedy Tartakofsky (Samurai Jack etc). Everyones quick to draw anime paralells just cos its a little more realistic.

Yeah I can't stand the weenie asian lookin cartoons.

Worst case example was the most recent X-Men cartoon series. What the f*** was that? I don't actually watch cartoons anymore but i flick channels...and I remember cyclops looking like some gangly rednut geek?!

Even transformers got gay-ified along the way somewhere...

Feel sorry for the kids today, they miss out on all the violent oldskool cartoons where everyone looked like they were on steroids, and all the chicks wore were tribal bikinis! Now all they have is pokemon and that stupid half-lepoard jungle creature thing.

Yeah I hate the flashing backgrounds like they're going somewhere, and the mouths all move the same, okay this is fine for asians thats what they are used to. But for some reason, the pokemon style crap, anime, is now taking over. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy anime ( woteva u call it) but i dont want it on these cartoons.

imagine asian smurfs?

yeah most cartoons now you will find are just basicly copying the japanese style anime because as they tried with pokemon and dragon ball z, its insanely popular (f**ked as funimation made it with their s*** dubs and kiddy rating). in a way it grinds my gears that the US take these great animes and ruin them with their hardcore metal soundtracks, obviously horrible voice acting (yu-gi-oh anyone? the main guy sounds like he is 45 with a bad cold) and overall dumbing down the entire show. if they wanna copy the style of drawing however, just shows they got no real tallent and need to steal ideas.

Hah, it doesnt really matter what kind of animation a show has. main problem is almost all the new cartoons are just plain s***e. Especially on cartoon network. So many trashy, ugly, badly voiced shows lacking in creativity or quality in any quantity.

Well 80 years ago japan stole western newspaper comic style, so I guess we're just getting revenge.

I think some of you are confused over the difference between asian style animation and surrealism. A lot of modern cartoons (invader zim, for example) use surreal artistic effects such as using curved lines where there should be straight lines and vise versa. Details also tend to be over simplified or over detailed. This style of drawing just happens to look like anime. I'm not saying that western cartoons aren't copying asian animation style, because they are. It's just not as bad as people assume.

Move to Sunnybank, EVERYTHING looks asian.

Anime is cool, because more often than not, its about cool stuff like ninjas and/or robots.

speaking of invader zim, its a damn shame that was canceled. that was the greatest cartoon on tv today and they got rid of it. i've got 2 paperback collections of johnny the homicidal maniac, and SQUEE'S wonderful big giant book of unspeakable horrors both by jhonen vasquez and his style never changed. its got a twist of anime style in it but his work is just fantastic. best books ever. we need more cartoons like zim.

Twaddle. I take it you don't watch Adult Swim (www.adultswim.com) then? Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Sealab 2021 and Venture Bros all use HB style animation, and in some cases HB characters
