What is it about cartoons that makes them more memorable than

More exposure/easier to find. I'm certain the inverse of what you said is true in Japan.

>>91746910

>>91746910
>>91746940

Yeah I mean it's pretty obvious.

How many times have you seen Akira or Evangelion on TV, or how many times did you see them on TV when you were a kid?

The only anime I remember seeing on kids channels (in the UK) back when I was a kid were Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and Shin-Chan - and often they'd be on in later time slots, whereas you'd have hour blocks of Spongebob, The Simpsons, South Park, etc.

>>91746910
cartoons have more variety in animation styles. most anime have the same exact style or have small variations.

NGE, KLK, and Madoka Magica stick out in my mind because it seems like they're the ones most popular in the West due to the unique stories and designs.

There was a Scott mcloud page about how the simpler and less detailed a character is the more a viewer can project onto them as a template and thus remember more easily than something that goes for realism.

Consequently most cartoons are memorable because they're vague and simple characters that can be reduced to minimal icons but still be recognized. Meanwhile japan mostly goes for a more realistic style in general because for a long time anime was the only affordable way to make their entertainment, they never developed a Hollywood system in proper fashion. So after a while that's just what they stuck to.

I'd argue that these days it's the opposite, now they're going for more abstract designs. I can recognize one punch man in a crowd. Steven universe and clarence? Not so much, they look like crayon shin chan knockoffs. Almost all the calarts cartoons do, I don't get why they're aping a show like that so poorly, it'd be like if japs tried aping south park for a full season.

But yeah generally things made for children are simpler and more memorable while things made for adults generally have a little more nuance to them and don't need a shrieking prepubescent fanbase to be apreciated fully.

>>91746910
>things from your own culture are more memorable to you than things from other cultures
Holy shit, holy shit!!

Counterpoint. Everybody knows Dragonball Z and Pokemon, and a wide majority are also at least aware of things such as Sailor Moon and Gundam Wing.

It's all down to exposure. We know the shows we had on TV as a kid/were heavily marketed over here. That's it.

>>91746940
>said is true in Japan.
just in one country vs all the countries.

And even then, japan knows about cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse while the rest of the world barely knows about Goku

>>91746940
>>91746982
I disagree. Unless we're talking about kids here, most /co/ users here have access to be the same amount of content as in Japan. in fact I'm sure if you did the math /co/ and other 4chan users have watched more anime episodes in total than cartoon, because anime and Japanese shows in general tend to have longer seasons.

The only reason we tend to remember Western shows more is because they don't all look the same, so we only remember the best anime, whereas we usually remember all good and shitty Western cartoons.

What I'm saying is, I think its less about accessibility and more about the fact if you live in the West you're almost programmed to remember Western stuff more because its all around us, whereas with anime its only on the internet or in social circles. we can access both equally, we just subconsciously choose to remember Western stuff more because its all around is. its part of our culture. but that doesn't take away the accessibility we have to Jap stuff online.

>>91747062
>can recognize one punch man in a crowd. Steven universe and clarence?

meh, I love one Punch Man but the only thing lacking is good character design, besides Saitama everybody looks like they could appear on a really shitty generic ass manga, specially the female characters.

And even if I don't like it, Steven Universe is waaay mroe popular

Actually, there are more people living in a concentrated area of the east than the entire rest of the world, so there's a very real possibility that steven universe is vastly unpopular in comparison. I mean, one piece is the number one best selling comic of all time, but you never hear about it in the west, because it's a product marketed towards the east and the east specifically.

It's kind of weird how americans think they're the center of the universe when it comes to media, when in reality, you guys are the weird minority of foreigners for the rest of the world.

>>91747169
yeah but the point is that.

Cartoon characters are popular all over the world, including Japan.

While anime characters are mostly known in Japan and among spergs.

Most people don't even remember the classics like Captain Harlock, Ranma 1/2, Yu Yu Hakusho, Mazinger, Astro Boy, etc.

While Finn from Adventure Time is well more popular despite a show that has only been around for like 10 years

It depends on where you live.

The best example is Lupin III. Popular in Japan to this day, but didn't get much of a release anywhere else in the world and generally only has cult followings in most places. Most are only exposed to it now because the Internet makes the world a bit smaller.

That is except for Italy. Italy fucking loved Lupin III from the day it was first shown over there, to the point that the series "Lupin III Part IV" was set in Italy and even RELEASED in Italy before Japan.

not really, you can show a pic of the character to random people under 20 and they would not know about him

I feel like most people will have seen the character before but likely don't know Doraemon's name.

Western cartoons tend to run for years

Japanese cartoons run for only a few months with many never getting a second season. Japanese have far larger catalogue of animation than the west does so of course its difficult to remember most of it aside from the iconic or timeless stuff

And this comparison is stupid like all other anime vs western autiam

This is the area I'm referring to, by the way. There's a reason why Hollywood and the Chinese market are so lucrative, it's literally the majority of the world's population.

And that population is honestly way more familiar with and nine and nimrod other Japanese and eastern oriented art than western cartoons that aren't from over half a century ago that got mass appeal mostly out of the massive economic buff americans got post ww2.

>>91747349
India is a big contributor but it's actually mostly a ton of Chinese people who share more culturally with japs and koreans than americans.

Like fuck, no normie american knows what the fuck doraemon is, but it's a household name in the east and it's honestly probably going to outlast stuff like the Simpsons in longevity.

Like the thing is, do you really think the anime industry, with the sheer amount of content it pumps out every season compared to the he one or two decent shows that come out in the west per year, did you seriously think it was all for a Japanese audience and nothing else? How fucking out of touch do you have to be?

The east is literally the fucking hub of human enterprise and is more financially stable than the entire american market, there's a solid reason they don't make stuff for americans as much as they used to: you guys are shitty consumers.

>>91747123
>I disagree. Unless we're talking about kids here, most /co/ users

From OP's point about:
>I mean, everybody knows about The Simpsons, Sponge Bob, South Park, classics like the Looney Toons, etc.

I took him to mean the general public.

Even amongst /co/ users, we're more likely to remember stuff from Spongebob just because everyone in our non-/co/ peer groups also do. It's the same reason Spongebob is used in so many Twitter 'memes'.

>>91747279

I think you're still thinking in terms of US exclusively.

Anime never really became widely rotated on TV until the late 90's, when people started to become interested in all things Japanese.

Anime was around, and even being played on some TV stations before then, but it was usually always on premium channels, or on at weird, early morning hours (like, after midnight. Not 7 AM Saturday morning cartoons)

It became pretty big for about 10 years, but in recent years (probably the mid 2000s) it receded back into a more niche following.

It still a little more in the open than it was pre-late 90's, but that's because the Internet is so huge now, whereas it barely existed in the way we know it now back then.

You can probably come across anime and manga related stuff just offhand and unintentionally on the the internet now.

other than obvious geographical stuff, western cartoons all or at least, large majority have unique artstyles. Actual unique artsyles, not like japanese-unique artstyle that's just the same only everyone's heads are shaped oddly; actually made with different animation methods

>>91747279

You're comparing a bunch of old school animes with a cartoon show that has been released 10 years ago. It's like you are only using the new generation to make your judgement about what people know and don't know.

Would make more sense if you used actual classic cartoon characters like Mickey and Bugs Bunny instead recent franchises like Adventure Time and Steven Universe.

Animation sucks.
It's an outdated medium and both east and west are too incestuous to improve, they've fallen into stock artstyle that suck.

Videogames have replaced animation as the illustrative escapist fantasy for young and old alike. It sells more than Hollywood movies, more artists work in than industry than all others combined, and it's more creatively free for high and low budget releases than anything else in the last decade.

Face it, /co/, you too, /a/, your mediums are dying and becoming irrelevant while vidya is literally paving the way to the future with new technology and actual, real creativity instead of the swill you settle for. Even our archaic classics surpass your newest spitshine bile.

Thanks for the starting point, but have fun seeing animated films die hard and fade into obscurity while any schmuck in his basement and unity can make a game that makes more for one guy in a month than legacy Pixar and disney animators get in a year working on some time waster for babies.

/thread

There's less good cartoons and cartoons overall. So the good ones, even the mediocre ones, really stand out. On top of that, cartoons which are good get renewed until they go bad. Anime on the other hand does seasonal cycles and good shows aren't guaranteed to get renewed, and when they do, it's usually two years after the hype has died down. Next, anime is still mainly children's entertainment at the end of the day and most adults in Japan don't watch anime. So there's less incentive to keep the good stuff going when they have a guaranteed cash cow with regulars like Pokemon, Doraemon, One Piece, etc. Lastly, cartoons are more easily accessible and come in english, which is the most widely spoken language in the world, whereas most people have to sit around waiting for dubs and subs for anime because they can't watch raws.

It's no surprise that cartoons are perceived as being more memorable.

Seriously, in the grand scheme of things, american culture is fucking tiny and only brings an indifferent "huh, good for them I guess" from literally the entire majority of the planet.

>>91746910

This is pretty ridiculous. Especially when you consider that Japan is both a geographically small country and not a powerhouse economically or otherwise while America is the only world superpower, its animation is actually incredibly popular and, yes, watched all over the world. I'd say it's actually wildly disproportionate to the country's influence otherwise.

And anything comes across badly if you're comparing it to fucking Disney. Like asking why Coca-Cola isn't consumed as much as water is worldwide.

But yes in Japan this is different, and even here, lots of kids grew up watching DBZ, Pokemon, Yugioh, Sailor Moon. Again it's actually odd the reach anime does have.

>>91747846
It's mainly marketed at children. There are adult shows, but the market itself is highly skewed toward battle shounen. It's children's entertainment.

Much like how cartoons are largely children's entertainment despite the existence of things like Happy Tree Friends and Venture Bros.

>>91747913
There's no comparison between cartoons and anime in this sense, no matter how much delusional Americans may try to make one. Cartoons are for children by default, and the few adult ones are almost exclusively trash comedy. Anime primarily consists of serious series for adult viewers, though anime kid shows have certainly been made.

Actually, most anime is marketed towards high schoolers, and it's either persona knockoffs for boys or its romance stories for girls, with a lot of crossover for both.

It's almost like you're talking about anime stereotypes that haven't been relevant for the last decade. Like an out of touch cartoonist making speed racer jokes.

Nobody cares about Chinese insects, and English is more spoken than Spanish in terms of total speakers. Spanish is actually behind Poo in total speakers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers

>>91747897
Regardless, none of those languages are japanese, which is what the point made was about. Most people cannot actually watch and understand anime as it is released.

Additionally, may I have a source for those statistics? I have a feeling that the numbers may be off due to the fact that Chinese students learn English during schooling and have been doing so since at least the 70s. Unless they are talking about the actual languages people speak day to day, and not the languages people know.

>>91746910
Let's be fucking honest. The only cartoons known worldwide are looney tunes, tom & jerry, classic disney toons, the simpsons, TMNT 1987, 80s TF and maybe South Park if we stretch it.

Basically franchises that have been on the air for years and more people grew up with them. So of course they are gonna have way more media awareness than anime that last 1 season/series.

Still I believe people below 30-35 would know DB and other popular anime since people in that generation grew up with.

This myth needs to end. Anime and manga are primarily aimed at children and teenagers and most adults don't even watch or read anime and manga.

The shows with the strongest market presence are marketed to children.
>>91747978
Anime is still primarily children's media. They may touch on heavier topics than western media from time to time, but it's still children's media. You can simply go on your favorite website and look at the proportion of shows airing by season and check their airtime and censor rating in Japan.

I think part of the reason here is because of these kinds of shows would translate to an international audience.

The first Lupin III anime series was released in the early 70s. Imagine if an English dub of it were made back then and aired on US television. The dubbing probably would've been awful and it probably would've been censored to hell. It would not have gone anywhere in the US back then so no one bothered to try.

A dub of the original Dragon Ball was attempted in the 80s. It got cancelled after five episodes. It wasn't until the rules of what you could do on tv became less strict that we started to get more anime localized. And even then, all that gets made today is generic waifu harem garbage that only weebs care about so there's still nothing worth bringing to television.

>>91747053
Western shows are slowly becoming more generic looking too. Anime looked very different in the late 80s through the early 2000s. Now all shows on Cartoon Network and all the frederator shit looks like adventure time, when a few years ago it all looked different.

>>91751630
It's mostly because back in the day you had different studios and character designers and while in Japan, you still have a ton of studios and character designers, in the West, the animation industry has largely collapsed. There are core creative teams, but most of them put out stuff that's visually quite similar.

Maybe because this is the majority of anime these days. Every time I see this I stop and quit the series. Big tits, panties and sexual situations.
WHEN YOU DO THIS YOU ARE ADMITTING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE TALENT, EFFORT OR WIT TO MAKE A WORTHWHILE SHOW!!!

>>91746910
Almost all anime blends together due to all the generic tropes that are used for every single one.

>nobody gives a fuck about Studio Ghibli in general beyond spergs

Are you sure? I've seen plenty of normies who watched Studio Ghibli movies, because of Disney handling them. Spirited Away even won an oscar.

I had a teacher who said she knew who Princess Mononoke was when another student brought up that she dressed as her for Halloween.

Is that a motherfucking JoJo reference?

Americans propably know jack shit about anime because thier dubs suck balls. Anime is generally bigger in countries which dub a lot, like France or Germany. The three most iconic cartoons in Germany are all at least partly Japanese. One Piece is propably as well known as Simpsons and maybe Spongebob, everyone knows about Pokemon and Digimon. The Stuff from Studio Ghibli is shown once in a while on Super RTL meaning that a shit ton of children have seen it at least partially.

Reruns.

You saw the same episode multiple times due to way TV works.

>>91747062

something game designers don't seem to get,

especially with more recent titles, like andromeda.

>>91746910
is this a Shad original?

>nobody gives a fuck about Studio Ghibli in general beyond spergs

Except for that time Spirited Away won an Oscar

Akira and Evangelion actually have aired on TV in most countries fairly regularly. I know Syfy in the UK still shows Akira regularly, and both Sci-Fi and Toonami in the US have played Akira. Teletoon in Canada, who literally never airs anime, played Akira.

Evangelion aired heavily edited in the US briefly on Toonami and then in a less edited format on Adult Swim, while the movies aired uncut in rotation on Starz/Encore for years. It also aired in primetime in Australia and I believe had decent timeslots in the UK/Canada as well.

Guys if I point something for being bait im I still falling for the bait and giving what the baiter wants?

>/co/ and /a/ will never merge to make something like /ag/ (animation and graphic novels) because of weeaboos and dumb anime haters

>>91746910
Come on dude, everybody knows who is goku, saitama and even luffy and ichigo. If you are naming the big ones name the big ones, not fucking Akira just for cultfags

>another faggot bumps a shitpost thread
And before you accuse me of hypocrisy like a retard you are, I'm saging this shit.

>>91756139
that would be because of the weaboos being weaboos, most people that watch cartoons don't also watch anime every once in a while.

While weaboos act like watching anime is taking a stand against society or some shit

>>91756404
The thread was literally bumped a minute before my post

>>91748044
>Most people cannot actually watch and understand anime as it is released.
There are subs available hours after launch for most anime these days.
>I have a feeling that the numbers may be off due to the fact that Chinese students learn English during schooling and have been doing so since at least the 70s.
Look, how many people do you know who took a language class in school and are actually fluent in that language?

>>91756442

Difference being that people outside the states are not lazy cunts and more often than not they end up learning those languages

After Batman and Spider-Man, One Piece is the best selling comic book series of all time. Bigger than Peanuts, Dragonball, Tin Tin, Garfield, and X-Men. Just because it isn't big in America doesn't mean it isn't HUGE worldwide.

>>91746910
It's almost like one is more common in our culture.

Yeah, counting people who speak it as their second language it's around two billions. English is the world language.

I know you're baiting with the style of your post and the smiley you left at the end but I whole-heartedly agree with the content;

videogames (or rather software entertainment), is the highest form of art, or at least has the potential to be, and as of right now it's unrealized.
