South Park is good, but it's one of the few decent American cartoons these days, the others being The Simpsons and Family Guy. That doesn't mean American cartoons are better overall. With anime, there's a lot more variety in my opinion. There are four anime shows I love: Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Those four animes are awesome! One will notice that three of the four have adult themes without necessarily being raunchy. I'd like an American cartoon like that. I like raunchy, but sometimes I want something a little less shocking, something that favors violence. Naruto and Bleach (the Japanese versions at least) have plenty of violence, which is to my liking.
