if they just made a new season of Justice League with the same exact style, tone, and writing, it would probably beat any anime in existence in viewership
Here's what the creator of Justice League (Bruce Timm) has been up to this year:

Yeah I personally wouldn't mind a new animated series with the spirit of the OG Justice League, but sadly Bruce Timm unironically became the embodiment of "die as a hero or live long enough to become the villain".

Not just him - same thing happened to the creator of Gargoyles, a show I'd put up there, among the best written Western cartoons ever.

Here's Halo from the Young Justice cartoon:

and here is the original character:

According to the writers, the mystery meat above is French. Not only that, but despite the character being an AI (a Mother Box specifically) wearing the body of a dead ******** girl like a puppet, it still wears the hijab.

The reason they emulate anime is that people still associate anime with quality, while seeing a modern Western cartoon evokes a visceral, instinctual feeling of revulsion. The leftist parasites have thoroughly poisoned the well and are now trying to migrate to another host.

The budget crunch and the competency crisis have really put a damper on western action cartoons. Most of 'em look cheap and ugly now. A semi-random assortment:







X-Men 97 actually looks better than the 90s show, but not exactly great.

[Context: referring to anime-inspired western nu-video games]
if it's not meant to look like anime, why do they keep making anime series based on these properties instead of just western cartoons?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota:_Dragon's_Blood
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcane_(TV_series)

If your response is some cope like "what's western action cartoons?", just go look at the Justice League series or the DC animated movies.
It's either anime or CalArts. The west has forgotten how to draw.

This is a screenshot from the Caped Crusader cartoon by Bruce Timm. Without looking it up, try to guess who these three characters are.

It's deliberate - anime and manga are far more popular than anything the West shits out. Volumes of Demon Slayers routinely sell more than all Western published comics, combined.

It's the same reason why Marxist coopt popular Western IPs - they're merely skins they wear to peddle their disgusting ideology, because they know that nobody would bother with their **** otherwise, as trash like Dustborn has proven beyond any doubt.

Because the popular conception of western comics start and end with Marvel and DC capeshit. Which are both, ironically, jewish creations. People are under the false illusion that manga offers a fresh and unique alternative, but even that isn't true. The biggest mangas, like Demon Slayer, are shounen. Which tend to be even more repetitive than the capeshit.

Could have been worse, Timm was self-aware enough not to do an actual revival of the old cartoon
So a few years ago when Timm was asked if he would like to develop a new Batman animated series that would rekindle the spirit of that venerated, foundational show, he knew exactly how he felt.

“I went, ‘Not really,’” Timm said in a recent interview. “I was terrified of it. People love the old show so much that I didn’t want to mess with it. You know, it’s not 1992 again.”
X-Men 97 actually looks better than the 90s show, but not exactly great.

Of all the gay ****** they could have given it to, he was one of the best choices. He had a clear and obvious respect for the old show, no sneering or subversion. He was actually true to his pre-release statements, unlike the Witcher ***** who did outright lie about her intentions.

Doesn't matter, because people can tell when a product is made to spite the audience, as pretty much everything created in the West is. I'm under no illusion about anime and manga, they're mostly consumerist slop, but it's at least slop made to pander to the audience, and that's pretty much all you need to outcompete the Marxist drivel the West shits out.

Yeah, kudos to him for not digging up the corpse and ******** on it, but "merely" taking a big, fat **** on the audience.

Stop lying - he turned one of the characters into a ***** and all the women into planks. He has about as much respect for the source material as I have for the life of a liberal.

He had a slight agenda to push (I was annoyed over how he said no one in the show itself would refer to Morph as they/them to be true to the 90s, but they went back on that in one of the final episodes), but it could have been worse.

Avatar: The Last Airbender also mogs most anime, all the while sharing a similar but distinct aesthetic. The teenage characters in that show also behave genuinely, and have genuine motivations that most animes fail to depict. The thing is about Japanese productions is that they excel in theatrics, and even artistic design, but everything else is lacking. Even the likes of Hayao Miyazaki touched on this fact, that most animes are produced by "otaku" who don't even understand genuine human emotions. They themselves are socially awkward and distant, and they pass that on to their characters.

I was going to disagree with you but after thinking about it you kinda right ,for at least a large part of anime that comes out nowadays.

That's true for most creatives nowadays though, not just Japan. The whole creative process has been turned into one gigantic human centipede because what matters is quantity of content, not quality. Writers in the past weren't terminally online manchildren, but actual people that had lived and experienced life, and thus had something unique to bring to the creative process.

This doesn't just apply to writers, but everyone involved in the process of weaving a narrative. These people were actual characters, not copypasted leftist NPC bugmen that haven't an original thought in their subhuman brains.

Modern corporations aren't catering to actual humans, but the billions of *****, *******, ****** and other mystery meats that lack the proper IQ to appreciate actual quality, while still sentient enough to internalize the "hate whitey" message nearly all of these products are laced with.

It doesn't matter, because the greatest anime (Howl's Moving Castle) annihilates the greatest american cartoon:

Yes, *Batman: The Animated Series* was influenced by Japanese anime, among other styles. The creators of the show, including Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski, were inspired by a variety of artistic sources. Japanese anime was one of them, particularly in the way the series used bold lines, dynamic action scenes, and a darker tone. The animation studio *TMS Entertainment* from Japan was also involved in producing several episodes, bringing their own anime-influenced style to the show.

Additionally, the series had a distinct "Art Deco" style, mixed with film noir elements, and a minimalist approach that allowed for a unique visual storytelling method, which was enhanced by these anime influences. This blend of styles contributed to the show's iconic look and feel, which has had a lasting impact on Western animation.

All I've heard is that Arcane is a cartoon, and looking at Wikipedia, no one is Japanese is among the production roles.

I get that rusty isn't a spring chicken anymore, but Arcane doesn't look anime, at all. Compare it to any anime that was done in 3D and it's obvious the art direction is nothing alike.

Most american productions were animated in other countries, even in the 90s. The difference was that the producing and maybe the storyboarding was still handled in the west. So this was sort of the best of both worlds, for a time. The westerners told a coherent story and kept it from degenerating into animu nonsense, and the talented eastern animators poured their artistry into the work. I recently made a post about a Canadian-Japanese co-production called Cybersix, which to this day has some of the best animation I've seen in a TV show.

None of this is to say that a fully in-house western team couldn't do as good a job or better, but like with car manufacturing that practice got shipped overseas decades ago, and died forever when Adobe Flash got popular and gave rise to the dreaded CalArts aesthetic.
