I know not all of them are, but most American cartoon series are just a bunch of unrelated stories with little character development. Even action cartoons are like that. Anime series are shorter, usalyl 26, 13, or once in a whil 52. SOmtimes they ahve multiple seasons like Sailor Moon and Pokemon. Due to this they have an overall story, a beginning and end. The characters usually develop over this time, you really get a feel for them. I liekt he animations better than American cartoons, they tend to look mroe human even with giant eyes and strange hair. The opening themes are much better in my opinion.
Please keep in mind that I am talking about uncut and unedited anime, like on domestic DVDs like Vandread, Strawberry Eggs, Slayers,and Full Metal Panic!
