I think ppl will argue why you look at cartoons at all, as a grown-up. And the answer would be that anime Plot is a shitload better than Hollywood shit movies plot. Even vodka games are better nowadays for plot than any Hollywood on-screen movies. The last of us is not just an amazing plot. It's interactive! These games nowadays are interactive movies which is so much better. Most of them. Except for Massive Faliure Effect Andromeda. Just fuck that game and the morons who paid the retard programmers to make it.

I like western styled animation since they put a lot more character into the design and animation of their cartoons. They have exaggerated designs and animations while also using simple line art. If you look at the equivalent of anime in the west, you will see cartoons like Avatar: The Last Airbender that use more simplified designs to speed up the animation process. This also allows them to put more energy towards lip syncing and hand gestures.
In anime, they put so much detail in their drawings and it all looks the same and they still have stiff animations that only have the mouth move most of the time.
You can see the contrast between this western cartoon https://youtu.be/UBlPoOne-0I?t=16s
and these animes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv0hH8HgUm0
In the western cartoon, they talk with more hand gestures and their eyebrows move as their expressions change. In the animes, they are stiff and have less movement but more detailed artwork. Oh and anime has completely trash storytelling compared to western cartoons.

Because US animated TV shows aren't about the visual art, but the gag. We don't watch these shows because they look good we watch them because they are funny.
High quality, art animation costs a lot more money and a lot more time to produce... that, and most Americans aren't pedos like the japanese are so we don't want sexy little school girls in our tv shows.
