I dunno how you guys can stand anime. If we knew what would come out of Japan after nuking them twice, we likely would have nuked them a third time just to stop them from creating anime.
If the primordial forces of the universe knew what would come out of humanity's existence, we likely wouldn't even exist.

Well this will be my reaction if soap opera makers get nuked.



Jokes aside however, they can take EastEnders and Coronation Street and shove it up their arse. Fuck soaps. Even the shoddiest anime going is guaranteed to be at least 50x better than that shit.

Much better stories than the Puritan mindset constrained trash the US puts out. Not saying there aren't some good ones, but majority of it is trash. Trash stories, cringey fake fights,(looking at you Arrow), alongside the fear of going into controversial territories makes so much of it bad.

The fact the Japanese have no issues going into those territories makes it so interesting to watch.

Also, the second half of that comment of yours is almost a word-for-word copy of something I came across in the comments section of a Doujin site I frequent, so much so, it's shocking. Leader of The Enemy ||

The problem comes when they rush or churn out mass manufactured stuff instead of actually thinking things through properly and coming up with an actual plot, and executing it in a way so that it's an actual show. Instead of the manufactured crap that so many people are obsessed with. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

Totally fallacious nonsense, the majority of everything is trash. There is no difference in storytelling quality between anime and U.S. entertainment, you're just a gaijin weeblord who thinks Japanese products are more interesting because they're foreign. So say that, instead of drawing a false comparison between the average quality of East/West.

are you talking about anime or Western entertainment?

Both. In fact, I'm talking about entertainment in general. It's considered a type of art and it's there for entertainment, so time should be taken to perfect the art and create the best product for their customers. Customer service is the most vital skill in business after all.

I think you're slightly off with that assessment. Art, entertainment and product are all distinct categories that overlap in varying ways with any given piece of media. Not all entertainment needs to be artful and not all art needs to be entertaining, while commercial success depends on too many factors to mention (being highly artful/entertaining can help, but they're not necessary).

Do you want to know what the majority of the stuff that comes out of the US these past few years consists of? Fistfight, sex, minimal character development, if any, and explosion after explosion after explosion, coupled with a barely cobbled together story.

As I said, there are some good things. NCIS and NCIS New Orleans, CSI(Though this one has run it's course), as well as a few others. But so much of it is just re-hashed, mass produced junk that isn't even worth giving the time of day, constrained by the puritan mindset the US holds.

There are so many replica super-hero shows out there, and more are released daily. Star Wars: The force Awakens was a travesty, just more mass produced mash-ups, the marvel movies have really weak stories. You have countless DC series adaptaions, ones that pale in comparison to previous adaptaions.

More than 90% of the animation produced is mass produced stuff with barely held together stories, aiming simply to provide mindless entertainment.

Long gone are the days when we had amazing things like Enemy Mine, The Last Starfighter, Cloak and Dagger, Flight of the Navigator, The Neverending story.

Long gone are the days when they made shows that the whole family could sit down and enjoy, like Perry Mason. Long gone are the days when they made shows that didn't shock you with simple gore, like The Twilight zone.

No country makes everything perfect, heck, theres stuff that comes out of Japan that is abmyssmal, but there is very little that comes out of the US anymore that is of any real value.
