Dude, there's animation in the movie. I'm fine with talking about that.

Are you really going to try to argue with me about what I do and don't want to talk about in my own topic? I thought that we were surprisingly getting along just fine. Please don't try to mess that up now.

That's not boring. I agree. Both sides have their own great qualities. It's just that I prefer Pixar and Disney.

If it was the beginning of the 90's right now, then I'd choose the American animation, but now I'll go for the Japanese.

This is like comparing Japanese candy and American candy.


Who doesn't love both?

Would you choose American animation because of the Disney movies of the 90s? Or do you have something else in mind?

I hate most Japanese candy. I guess it's because I'm so used to really sweet tastes, and it seems like most Japanese candy isn't as sweet as American candy.

Well, you can't compare American CGI with any other country for the reason MMM said. Budget! you mentioned Transformers, but almost all American movies nowadays contain CGI, it's just that Transformers is more obvious.

Japanese movies aren't that advanced because CGI is fucking expensive.

It's because the Japanese animation was nothing special before the 90's, just different drawing style and that's all. Sure they made Gundam, Akira, Grave of the Fireflies, and of course Myazaki and his work, but that's basically it. While Disney alone made so many wonderful work. Mickey Mouse, Donald and other characters, animated films like Pinocchio, Jungle Book and Fantasia (which features only classical music and no dialogues) were really fun to watch. And no Japanese anime ever done anything like Fantasia (not that I know). And I won't even bother talking about Tom and Jerry and the others.

But in the 90's things changed, more and more "serious" anime started to show up like Ghost in The Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Perfect Blue, Death Note which attracted the viewers, with their philosophy and complicated plots, (heck, they put most Hollywood movies to shame). And I will go far by saying that Myazaki is today's Walt Disney, although not all of his work is so wonderful like everyone says, but you can really see that he puts his heart into it.While Pixar and Disney keep making stuff with the same formula - computer animated films with stories for children, but with adult humour so that adults could enjoy them too, and it's pure CGI CGI CGI. And the new American cartoons that you see on TV today, they're total crap in both ways - the character design and story, and is not even worth comparing with Japanese anime.

Apple vinegar? Really?
