Anime is terrific. I love it just because the Japanese have a truly fantastic sense of production design and story execution. Of course that said, business is still business -- so it still depends on what property you're talking about or which production studio was involved. Like anything else, you have some studios producing higher end, artistic things...but then you have just as many studios overseas cranking out product to meet a lowest common denominator sales point. So I guess some things really are universal no matter what country you're doing business in!
As for the names tossed out on this thread, what, no love for AKIRA?
