Okay, don't take this the wrong way. I still like anime, but sometimes people go overboard to the point where it's kind of insulting. Disney has been around for a very long time and without it, much of the anime you see today wouldn't even be around. Walt Disney is, in my opinion, one of the pioneers of animation. He created so many classics, it's almost impossible to name them all!
Yeah, I like anime. I also like Disney. Heck! I like it more than anime! Well, anyways, I hate it when people call Disney "cheapskate" and say anime is better. For all you know, Disney may be putting more effort and money into their animation than anime! Yeah, sure anime may have more in-depth storyline, more action, more drama, yada, yada, yada! Well, personally, I don't give a hoot! Both are good in their own way, so why compare the two?
To top it all off, Disney is aimed more at children, with the occasional "PG-13". Anime targets specific age groups and markets it towards them. Anyone agree?
Discuss.
EDIT: I said anime "is not better", not "worse". It doesn't exactly mean I'm implying that Disney is better. Both are the same in terms of entertainment, IMO.

I'm an anime fan and I agree. I love the Disney classics. Anime won't stand a chance againest those!
But you gotta admit that anime's better than Hannah Montana.

Compared to Disney today, anime is better IMO. Literally, the only good Disney now might be P&F. And why are you comparing Anime (an art style) to Disney (an animation company)? They are almost not even comparable. I do like Disney, and as classic as it is, I like anime better. The differences between anime and cartoons, is the style, and anime is usually one complete storyline, and cartoons usually aren't. I do like them both though...

I like Disney.
I like Anime, somewhat. (read:I've read one anime series in my life. That is, I read 3 Death Note episodes, and like them, so I say I like anime.)
Offline
Wait, you like Disney because its more classic? (I do respect your opinion COMPLETELY.)
And anyway, please tell me what anime/manga you've read/watched.
I've watched:
Pokemon
Sonic X
DBZ
Elfen Lied (DEFINATELY the best, but really violent)
Read:
Pokemon Adventures
Elfen Lied (the anime only goes through 72 of 127 chapters, but i'd watch the anime first)
I really don't get much chance to watch anime
But I REALLY recommend Elfen Lied, but only if you can handle the violence.

Well Anime is not better than Disney, it's exactly the same. "Better" being a very objective term. We could of course look at this in terms of the quality of living and satiety generated by each type, or by how many people each franchise benefits, or from any other angle really, I could argue that Disney is better just as well as arguing it's worse.

+ 1,000,000,000
and Walt Disney is the pioneer of animation. First studio to make a feature length animated film FTW! (Though I think he would cry at some of the live-action shows on the Disney Channel these days...)

Well, I generally like anime better than modern Disney cartoons, except the two dreaded "y"'s. Eesh.

Disney has turned away from there classic ideas and made teen shows which are horrible. Phineas and Ferb is the only good show, everything else on that channel these days stinks. The disney classics are good though.

For those confused, Anime isn't an art style. It's the actual cartoon is an anime.
(I believe)

If by anime you mean Pokemon, I disagree That in my opinion is suckish mouth animation and bad voicing.

And DarkerWorld, Pokemon has to has bad mouth movements because it was made in Japan and has to be voiced in a bunch of languages too.

Yes, anything is better than that.

That's exactly why I started this thread! I was going around the internet and I found a question on Yahoo Answers asking which one is better. I'm like, "What the heck?" The two aren't even comparable! They're two different things, so I wasn't the one who's comparing the two. I'm actually going against comparing them. It's ridiculous.
UPDATE: I added the red letters to support my statement.

Yes.
Also, I wanna mention this before someone shouts at me about it. Disney is a company, anime is a genre.

I watch Keroro Gunso (anime). It's full of insane humor and all that stuff.
Tokyo Pig. It's more of a kiddy show.
Hamtaro. It's about these cute hamsters.
I read Keroro Gunso (manga).
Shin Chan.
Sometimes Gurren Lagann. It all depends.
They're all funny.

Do you mean watch or read? If read, the term is "manga".
Also, I'm not a huge anime nerd. I even sometimes get annoyed by it; usually the fanbase. I just wanted to point that out.
