Hell no. There are definitely a lot of shitty, no-effort anime but the same can be said for Western cartoons.
However, there are some gorgeous, amazingly well made anime out there. Older ones especially tend have more skilled drawing/animation than anything we see today, and blow other anime and Western cartoons out of the water
Bob’s burgers is not a flex in any category of artistic skill.
And yet it still manages to be better in every conceivable way.
Just the FMA Brotherhood intro has a bigger animation budget then an episode of bobs burgers.
Which only goes to prove that money doesn’t guarantee quality.
Manga? Berserk has been doing laps artistically for what? over 20 years? Influence on other media in the space? Eva? Sailor Moon? Popularity and profit? Pokemon, Digimon, Naruto, one piece, the list goes on.
More badly drawn kids cartoons I’m assuming? I have no idea what any of that is.
I mean you can be like “that’s just my opinion maaaaan”
Umm… this IS my opinion. Did you miss the topic we’re commenting on? And the fact that your opinion that anime isn’t garbage happens to be shared with a lot of other people doesn’t make it any less of an opinion.
there are actually right and wrong answers in art and this is one of them.
You couldn’t be more wrong. Have an adult explain to you what “art is subjective” means. Then have them have you use it in a sentence.
Then come back and delete the embarrassment of a comment you just made.
Really, the fact that you treat anime as a monolith is the wildest part of this take. I’d love to know how you came to such a deep undersanding of the skill that goes into all anime.
The Owl House and Bluey kicked the shit out of children’s cartoons I had when I was a kid. Bluey makes me want to be a better parent, and I’ll be damned if I don’t think about The Owl House at least once a week.
Anime is a garbage medium and shows like Bob’s Burgers is drawn with more skill.
I’ll die on this hill.

Such salt over someone’s opinion! The world will eat this kid alive once he leaves the basement.

The fact that I can see, is how I came to this understanding.

Interesting take. Completely disagree though.
How do you place shows like Monster, Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Hellsing Ultimate, etc?
Because IMHO they are very good, and definitely don’t consider them for children.

Honestly I forgot about Bluey. I should give it a watch
All you needed to say. The ones that aren’t, are child porn.
Right, here is a heart warming anime for the whole family!
(Trigger Warning: It’s really really wholesome.)
