American Animation's CHANGED...MAN!

I could go on.....

Actually I think I will.

I no longer have aspirations to be in the top tier of the American animation industry.

Besides, I find Asia is in a business and cultural animation  climate now equivalent to what American animation was 20, 30 years ago. The Asian market contains elements America lost more than a DECADE ago: Kindness, friendship, Openness, Trust, Honest, Purity, Good will. American animation mostly doesn't have those things, ESPECIALLY in ADULT ANIMATION in America. It's now a bunch of college sophomore kids hacking and trash talking each other, and mindless hype and PR. All hope is lost.

American animation now is untrustworthy. It's unstable, unpredictable, unreliable, untrustworthy, closed off, backstabbing, treacherous. All thanks to rogue animators like Seth MacFarlane and Trey Parker. PURE EVIL!

The American import industry has gone from niche to pop culture, to ghetto-ized by recession from downturns in the Obamamy. The most unreliable economy EVER.

No wonder so many animators are leaving the country.

If you're the big cheese, the head hancho, AKA OBAMA and SETH MACFARLANE (who else is there, right?), don't complain when people leave your precious little "beloved" arrogant as FUCK country in droves to live and work and find better opportunities in foreign markets. YOU'RE the one who drove everybody away and caused that SHIFT. You're own myopic arrogance and selfishness, and lack of respect for the traditionally RIGHT way of doing things. You have no one to blame for driving Americans out of AMERICA, but your SELF.

It's not so much the fact that Seth MacFarlane and Steven Hillenberg (Spongebob) tap dance on the grave of the old Walt Disney, Spielberg, Franco, and Rankin Bass 80s and 90s TV grave in the modern TV Graveyard of the old TV landscape that BOTHERS me.

It's that they do it so GLEEFULLY, like they're raping it or something.

It's as if they smiling, nodding (creepily), then muttering to animators like myself

"How dare you succeed and still have a SOUL"

But a soul you must have, if you're not to become a soulless corporate monster puppet drone.

Bill Watterson was right in his pre-retirement commentary, I agree with a lot of his philosophy and talk of "soulful" and soulless cartoons.

If the animators have no soul, no spirit, the studio won't either, and if a studio doesn't have a soul, neither does the cartoons they make.

A lots changed, but you shouldn't have to kill your own soul just to BE at the top. That's WRONG!

Anime has a soul
Franime has a soul
Pixar has a soul

American primetime does not.

Soulful shows, allow me to elaborate:

• Are not  built on big budgets. They are built with lots of heart and soul, on MINISCULE BUDGETS to create an epic illusion of grandeur or a product of the heart.
• They do not make fun. They empathize. You can tell the producer is not a failed V.A. / Comedian.
• The artwork is beautiful and and of innovative design, of organic origin
• NO STEREOTYPES! JM Animation in Korea may produce beautiful anime drawings, but their content, their CHARACTER PERSONALITIES are stereotypical as all hell. As smart as they are, they can't figure out when they're being racist, whether it's Avatar or the Boondocks.
