Things you like/hate about cartoons

[Fomalhaut]

What I like:

- Cartoons that are drawn in a way in which you DO see that proportions etc. are quite, euh, changed, BUT! In that universe it looks fine. Good examples are Foster's, PPG, and Dexter's Laboratory. A bad example is KND (the universe, okay, and seeing everything, okay, but those HUGE hands and feet bothered me. A lot.).
- They make me laugh and forget my worries. Since I watch Foster's, I also feel somewhat more balanced.

Things I hate:

- Cartoons drawn in such a horrid way it's unbearable to see, just to make it look different than the others. Take Ed, Edd n Eddy - I simply COULDN'T BEAR watching it for the horrid animation style, despite the fact I liked it... it took me a while to get accustomed to it. And look at the head of the boy in Squirrel Boy.
- Potty humor. It can be fine, as it was in the initial episodes of Billy and Mandy, but then it got too much over the show and I was no longer their fan.
- Avoiding touchy subjects - and I'm not only talking about death, which the people above me have already finely described, so I won't go into further details why. Now, I don't say a cartoon has to be all drama and tears, but laughing out all along just to make me smile makes me turn off the TV. Man, I don't think seeing a little drama, love (not hardcore sex, obviously) or blood will traumatise children!
- Cardboard characters or no depth (Cramp Twins, not to mention the horrid drawing style), and character stupidities. I don't remember where, but once there were some characters which needed to go find the spring of a river to see why it has dried off. Fine, but there was a part of the riverbed which was covered with stingy weeds. You'd think they'll pick up a hatchet or walk by the side of the riverbed, but nooo, they actually DID CRAWL IN THE MIDDLE OF IT and kept on crying "Ow, spines...!". That hurt.
-> another thing here is PERSONALITY. Seriously, I have seen a cartoon in which one moment a character hid under the bed "Aah, I'm scared!" and two seconds later turned into a courageous hero. I mean, come on.

Anime:

- Poorly drawn ones. I know lots of anime aren't famous exactly for the great style, but in certain ones it's so evident it makes me cry. E.g., a character is walking, but you see its movements in pieces. You can totally see they used, like 4 or 5 drawings to make him/her walk down a hallway. Or, in an episode of Pokémon there was a scene with people queueing in front of a shop, and then get bored and go away. Well, instead of taking up the VERY DIFFICULT task of making some of them turn around and walk off, they simply made part of the queue DISAPPEAR. It was horrible.
-> Yet, there are anime in which you can see the people MOVE and queues do not disappear or such. Shaman King and Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water are among the best examples.
- Lots of anime are bloody. VERY bloody. If it's unnecessary, I hate it, but a little blood doesn't hurt, it' still better than one of the scenes in Pokémon where a character picked up a rose, and said "Ow, it stung me, look!", but you couldn't see anything.
- Hentai. 'Nuff said.
-> Bloody anime. Heck, not EVERYTHING that is drawn is made for kids! Look at Hellsing (not the cartoon, that was dumb, but the OVA based on the original manga), for example. Blood and death, yeah, but it's not just for the sake of horrifying poor people, as there IS plot and at least they realised you can't have ghouls and vampries without blood. Dragonball was a baaad example: there was plot, actually, but 90% of episodes went with Goku and crew beating up evil guyz. With lots of unnecessary blood in addition, and it soon got boring. In Hellsing, 10% of an episode is spilling blood, okay, but there IS dialogue and other stuff, not only *punch punch* "OW!!!". That's why I love Hellsing (what is more, the characters have depth and personality!) and hate Dragonball.

That's it for me, will add if anything else comes to my mind.
