In its kind it is actually the better one. It is also a challenge - to make a movie suitable for general audience. Not too many great movies manage that.

No thats much easier.Just see all the disney movies.They're entertaining and do bits of everything just like summer wars and are made to be watched by the whole family.So they never get very dark or serious or deep.Disney does it all better anyway.
Summer wars was a nice movie but it isn't something that you miss out on if you never watch it. I'm sure you'll agree.

Some stuff are meant to have a unique feeling burnsy.
Cartoons never leave that feeling in us but for anime, it is different.
If it's not a dark but emotional anime, then it would leave a lasting impression :D

Its a good comparison. Its a bit unfair though, since Disney is pretty much the unbeaten leader in that segment. I'd still say among what Japanese animation has to offer Summer Wars is about the top choice for family friendly entertainment. And I am sure we need more of this kind of movies if we want anime to gain wider appreciation =) But I won't argue, it is not ground breaking in any way, as far as I remember.

Japan should stick to what they do best which is make shows we like to watch alone and leave the family stuff to disney. Its not like either side can compete for the market share of the other.

Some anime or family friendly and anime got potential unlike cartoon.
It can replace cartoon.

I kinda don't think anime would need to compete with Western cartoons, cause now it is mostly CGI movies. And I personally think that drawn 2d animation and CGI animation are two different types of entertainment, they don't necessarily compete directly.

I am talking about the feel and depth of the story.
they can never be able to compete with anime.
 
Sindar said:
I don't see why not =)

Because they all have the easy-going air to them and it's difficult to think that they can compete with anime.

It's only a question of when someone decides to make a more serious cartoon though. There is this short Canadian animation "The old man and the sea", look it up. If Disney managers decide that things like that are becoming popular we might see very different cartoons =)

But anyway, I don't wanna say that there is no difference between the depth of some better Japanese cartoons and usual western stuff. But I think that in many ways it is the result of the anime artists having different kinds of restrictions, compared with the western animators.

The quality and everything differs in anime when compared to western cartoons.
Still, I don't get what you mean by restrictions though :D
 

I see.
I didn't know all that :D
I always thought of that as the targeted audience approach.

Still, I believe kids from western countries act more spoiled when compared to Japanese people.
Movies got nothing to do with their nature. That's what I believe :D

Its also because of the mindset.People believe cartoons are for kids which is why they stop watching them when they think they've outgrown them.This leaves studios to make cartoons targeted to children who are their main audience. And this in turn just enforces the belief that cartoons are only for children because mature cartoons are almost non existent.People only open their eyes to this fact when they are exposed to japenese animes. The most mature cartoon I've probably seen is in some of the animated batman or justice league movies and its still nothing compared to the stuff they show in animes.
 

I see.
Well, that explains a lot. I will watch that Grave of the Fireflies movie, if I can. I am into dark stuff and gore :(

then disney can't make dark stuff.
then indirectly aren't you emphasizing that anime got less restrictions and it can rule disney if it wants to?
