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. Prove it.
Jack Flac said :
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. Cites police procedurals as good examples, then complains about rehashes. Lol.

More than 90% of the anime produced is mass produced stuff with barely held together stories, aiming simply to provide mindless entertainment. An equally true statement.

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. Your nostalgic whinging is not proof of lesser storytelling in the West compared to Japan. For every Marvel or Transformers movie, I can show you a Sword Art Online or another stupid Dragon Ball spinoff, and for every Kobayashi's Dragon Maid I can show you an Arrival.

Not long left of Little Witch Academia. It's been a very mixed series for me. Some good parts, but mostly terrible, in my opinion. I would definitely say it was probably Studio Trigger's weakest series to date.

Aside from that I haven't been watching much. Watched the latest OVA for Himouto! and the Blame! film. Himouto was enjoyable, Blame was alright.

I guess it's back to rewatching older stuff until more interesting stuff airs.

As for the debate on US versus JP made entertainment. I don't watch US made entertainment ever, so I don't have an opinion.

Prove it. We were founded by a puritan group fleeing from the UK back in the 1800's. Sex is a massive selling point in anything we produce, and has only continued to increase over the past decade.

I'd say at least 40% of what is produced in any country falls under that banner. The US just takes that number over the top.


Look, it's not that I'm saying Japan is so much better, I'm just saying the US produces so much trash, the good things are just buried under it. Pretty much every country produces better quality entertainment than the US does. Leader of The Enemy ||

You obviously have no understanding of U.S. media, let alone U.S. history. So, see ya. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

The US was founded by a group of Cristian purists who had a difference of opinion with the main Cristian Church in Euroupe back in the 1800's. You can still see these views rooted deep in the policies of the country to this day. We claim to be a democracy, yet we are the exact opposite. The people have no say, it's the rich white men who have the say. We have a bi-partisan system, a system where the people have minimal power. We have a portion of a say in who gets ellected, but the final vote does not come down to the people, rather the dictoral college, a system which by all rights should not exist.

Well, if there's one area where the U.S. fails miserably when compared to Japan, it's education. Exhibit A... Jack Flac said :

It seems like you are of the belief that what they teach you in 4th grade US history is all there is to it.

The Revolutionary war was about a dissagreement with King Geogres policies, but the people who came over, came over to get away from the main branch of the Christian Church in Europe. Sure, they were looking to settle the US, but you have to understand exactly why the ones who came, came. Leader of The Enemy ||

The colonists thought King George was a nice guy being mislead by Parliament which is why the First Continental Congress petitioned him about the Intolerable Acts. The phrase "main branch of the Christian Church in Europe" is essentially meaningless - Puritans disagreed with the Anglican church, which has little influence outside of England.

Lastly,

They aren't even discussing anime in a anime discussion thread. “Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it.
