Anime and furry fandom

Uh... But fox did it! (see logo) That means that it's completely correct, balenced, and fair. What? It's not? GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU LIBERAL LALALALALA

Also, I think anime should be done away with. I think it is quite well, I can't say. Pointless, I think, but even I can put something from an anime into my posts once in a while. Desu.

Correction: 4kids did it
if fox did it they would of kept him black

It's kind of weird since most people think of, you know, Disney and Looney Tunes when anthropomorphic animals are brought up. Discuss.

The cartoons that come to mind for me are more along the lines of...well...nothing. Try taking Tom Clancy books and turning them into animated features. That's what comes to mind. With *good* Western animation.

Almost every furry artist out there (or at least every furry artist I know of) has been greatly influenced by the anime art style.

It's the superior attention to detail.

What in the ever-loving fuck would be the point of taking Tom Clancy books and animating them. That's like turning Halo into an anime. o_o

Oh wait.

It's the superior attention to detail.

Please elaborate, because to me it seems like it's more about the panty shots and the weird triangular faces.

I hate these l=o=o=o=n=g threads because who has time to read every post? I might miss something cool or advance a theory that has already been beaten into the ground...

That said, while I've always been a selective fan of anime (the early imports - Astroboy, etc., & later Miyazaki, Akira), WB & Disney animation is what really turned me furry. Kimba was a seminal (no snickering kids, look it up) anime/furry crossover - but because of its limited animation & character designs it didn't interest me as much as good old, animated on 'ones' American cartoons.

who wants to sexualize a children's cartoon

95% of furry artists?
