Is It Me, or Does Anime Suck?

My son is addicted to "Naruto", an anime series from Japan. Is it me, or does the animation part of anime really suck?

Every time I see anything anime airing on televsion, I want to gag at the animation. I swear, they must only use 2 or 3 cells per segment. I've seen Saturday morning cartoons with better animation. A lot better.

Don't get me wrong. The stories that are done using anime are actually pretty good. The artwork of the anime is usually pretty good too. It's just that the characters seem to freeze in place from one scene to the next.

What's your opinion?

   Oh, you mean that imaginary email that you always send? I have news for you, son. If you sent me email, I would have answered. Dinging me on YIM is not email (and you know I don't stay signed in to YIM). Well, I'm signed in now.

   (This is the other son in Germany.)

   Just because your son likes super-budget crap anime doesn't mean anime sucks. C'mon, you know that's an unfair and uninformed generalization you've made.

   There is something about anime that just rubs almost everyone above the age of 20 the wrong way. I've been plagued by it for years. Some of it is really bad, as far as I am concerned. The voice acting leaves a little to be desired, and the stop motion, flying through the air still shots are annoying. There probably are some great story lines out there, but I can't get past the style of it.

   the naruto manga is way better than anime, and besides thick outlined characters are worse than naruto.

      I agree.
