Variety is the spice of life. I love all kinds of animation styles and mediums.

I think a lot of generic anime is too uptight and stilted for my taste, but the richer works from entities like Studio Ghibli, Studio 4C, Satoshi Kon, the “Cowboy Bebop” franchise, and Production I.G are just amazing to me.

I love how different the flavor of the work is compared to conventional American animation.

I also enjoy that they tell dynamic, mature stories. I would love to see the firepower of an American studio tackle material like that. How amazing would that be? Brad Bird gave us a taste of that in his films.
