"Why is American animation still so shitty as compared to Anime"

I mean they are even having Korean artists working on doing the animation.... and it still looks bad.


I was thinking about this while watching Ultimate Avengers.
The just regular scene to scene stuff was just off and blocky and poorly animated (to my eyes)

You never see that in a episode of Full Metal Alchamist/Ghost in the Shell/FC. Not that I'm a fan but still the art and animation is still so much better than anything American.


Same deal with the Boondocks, the still frame shots they use to promote it and the opening all look really good but the actual animation in the shows scene to scene is off and kinda shitty. A perfect example when the drawing wasn't shitty is the dream Huey has fighting the blind swordsman. Vs. the animation of the car chase and the teacher in the last episode (shitty).
