Pound-4-Pound What's Better: 90's American Cartoons Or 90's Anime?

[bogey_j]

in my mind, not much is fukking with 90's anime.

berserk
evangelion
rurouni kenshin
cowbow bebop

i'd put those four against anything. the only one that's on the same level for me is spawn HBO. I fukking loved spawn HBO, in fact I may like it more than any of those four anime, but P4P 90's anime was better. never really watched batman TAS like that to be honest X-men was good but is not fukking with the top dogs of 90's anime. Spiderman TAS was trash looking back even though it was my favorite cartoon as a kid

Gotta go with 90's anime but that does not in any way mean I am denigrating 90's American cartoons.

 

[courtdog]

I'll go with C, 90's hip-hop
And anime was non existent in the 90's in america except for Sailor Moon

 

[Real]

cartoons...duh nikka.

 

[jdashmaj]

I'll take 8 Man After,Golgo 13,Crying Freeman,Ninja Scroll,Wrath of the Ninja,Yu Yu Hakusho,Casshurn Robot Hunter etc over anything else animated in the 90's and most stuff today

 

[xXMASHERXx]

90s anime off the strength of Bebop alone.

dbz

I just looked it up, and DBZ didn't start its run til 99 on CN
DragonBall (no Z) used to come on obscure local stations (ch.50 in the DMV)
But DBZ didn't pop off in america til the 2000's for the most part.

You go back in time, I'm sure there was this one nerd who seen all that shyt before it even came to american television
But that is besides the point. If we wanna get technical like that, well DBZ premired in Japan in 89'
So one way or another, DBZ ain't a 90's cartoon

Ocean DubEdit
Main article: Ocean Dub
When the decision to produce Dragon Ball Z in North America was made, FUNimation collaborated with Saban Entertainment to finance and distribute the series to television; sub-licensing home video distribution to Pioneer Entertainment (later known as Geneon Universal Entertainment), contracting Ocean Productions to dub the anime into English, and hiring Shuki Levy and Kussa Mahehi to compose an alternate musical score. This dub of Dragon Ball Z was heavily edited for content, as well as length; reducing the first 67 episodes into 53, and is often referred to as the Ocean Dub. It aired in 1996 for two seasons on the WB, but was canceled in 1998.

And how many people was watching DBZ on the WB
I did, but it didn't "catch on" til Cartoon Network got ahold of it
If it was catching on, WB would of never stopped showing it
And that shyt would come on at weird times too. I remember. I said channel 50 in the DMV. Channel 50 was WB. I forgot.. they changed there name before and after that time as well (wb)

My point is DBZ didn't take off in America til the year 2000
With that said, its not all that important. To the threads title/topic
I personally wouldn't call DBZ a 90's cartoon. But if it has to be classified as such? I love me some DBZ
But I would much rather have all the american cartoons that was out at the time

EEk the cat, Tiny Toons, Looney Tunes still came on multiple times a day on multiple networks. There are a bunch more, but I gotta get the fukk outta here so HOLLA!!!

I hear ya, and the sleight comment was just a... well, real, but still shyt talkin comment.
I was introduced to it that way as well. And the Japanese versions had foul language.. nudity.. and dialogue that would not be acceptable in a kids cartoon in America.. even today
I'm one of the few who actually liked the dialogue during the long inbetween waiting for a fight to happen episodes.
The build up made it so when shyt finally happened, it was
Thats why DBZ ranks up there at the top of all time.
But if I didn't have my american cartoons, I'd have a very low sense of humor

 

[MikelArteta]

I'll stick with my batman tas
Looney tunes
Xmen tas

Over some gaynamie

I'll give the edge to American cartoons. For sheer entertainment value you gotta consider that The Simpsons was in its prime during the 90s.
