American anime. Is it coming?

Like the Вопрос said, is it coming?

As I see it, the herald of its coming is "Avatar: the Last Airbender" and the sequel series "The Legend of Korra"


As I see it, Аватар was blatantly anime, though of an American style. From its plot, to characters, to its themes, and even the way they made it, when the ending already pre-determined, everything was distinctly anime.

Then there comes the sequel SERIES "The Legend of Korra" which breaks all the rules of American TV and Movies.

1. Like Avatar, the ending is already pre-determined and will last for 26 episodes (hmm I wonder what other series also usually last for 26 episodes? *wink wink*)

2. Its not new seasons, but a new season (a big no, no)

3. (and this one if the biggest rule breaker) It does not contain the original characters (*GASP* THE HORROR!) and it truly an entirely new series.

So could we start seeing more? Hopefully, but American Аниме will face some hurdles.

1. Аниме is generally looked down upon in the US (probably why there is no allusion to Аватар being considered an Аниме by its creators)

2. Non-life action shows/movies are not taken seriously in the US. In fact, the Oscars' category of "Best Animated Feature" shows how prejudice American culture is towards those genres (implying they aren't even considered for "Best Film"

3. The "single-run" format it uses. That is it runs for a pre-determined length and then stops. This means that the companies can't молоко the series to death. And they will have to get a new series each time (the horror!)

4. Аниме is just so radically different from EVERYTHING. The еще and еще I have watched the anime, the еще and еще I understand this. And it will require radically new thinking by the American TV companies

Tell me what Ты think? What are some signs that American Аниме might come and what struggles it might face?

I hope to turn this into an essay and post it on my blog.

Аниме Ответы

LostOblivion said:
Аниме is just the Japanese versions of Мультики so even if America did 'Anime' it would still class as Мультики because of this.

If America did do 'Anime', and does it well, then I actually start watching TV more.

About Point 3 though they could just Ты know:
Make games of the 'anime', like they do with Мультики already.
Make a sequel/prequel of an 'anime'
Make Novels или comics of the 'anime', like they do with Мультики already.
No matter the series is its viable to make a profit they will likely create еще merchandise.

Yes! Hopefully it will come. It would be so nice to see some еще Мультики drawn really detailed like Аватар instead of seeing mostly shit all the time.

I don't think American Аниме will ever exist. After all, I live in America and I can say that I proudly hate my nation's cartoons. I prefer Japan's much better, and I think that Япония will always make better Мультики and animes than anyone else can even come close to.

It has already came. Like Ты сказал(-а) ATLA and LOK are blatantly animes but they did not originate in Japan. Other countries make animes as well because Japanese Анимация had such a global impact on the world.

So I will expect to see many еще non-Japanese Анимация based off of Аниме in the future because of this trend. And I personally look вперед to it.

Unlike many of my fellow Аниме fans. If I like something it doesn't matter what country of origin it came from but this is my take on this.

I highly doubt it. Avavtar is cute but far from being Anime. I'm perfectly okay with Аниме being in Japan.
