I remember when I listened to Load for the first time!! There was this friend of mine with an ancient obsession for ‘Tallica. He bought the CD in the afternoon, calls me shortly after dinner and, in an ecstatic tone, says: "It's their best album... I swear, I'm not kidding: they've reached an incredible level of compositional maturity...". In a flash, I rush to his place on my powerful little bike, put the CD on, prepare to be delighted... and after two minutes, I’m dancing the boogie boogie to the rhythm of Ain't My Bitch, giving a kick in the ass to the "friend" who made me go out of my way for that crap.

When you say, "by now even this review has become boring," it cracks me up! An unknown album to me, but the review is quite snarky!

In fact, to quote Evangelion, I’ll add: "How disgusting..." :D!

Here I am again! A clarification: I deeply love some Disney productions, and I believe that denying the genius of Mister Walt is foolish. That said, let’s get back to your argument. All the series you mention (with the exception of The Simpsons, which, I hope you'll agree, represent a product too "unique" to be lumped together with Wile E. Coyote...) are rather dated, dating back—correct me if I'm wrong—to about 40 years ago, if not more. As I've said, they rely on an "initial flash of genius" (the creation and characterization of the protagonists) that is reiterated and recycled in every episode of the series (the Coyote chasing Beep Beep, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck messing with the hunter, etc., etc.). This allows them, upon closer inspection, to be re-proposed endlessly without the need to follow a continuity; let’s say it "absolutizes" each episode (watching one episode is sufficient to grasp the characteristic elements of the entire series... I hope I’m making myself clear). However, let’s talk about today's American serialized animation: for the most part, it's spin-offs of feature films (e.g., Timon and Pumbaa) that replicate the same formula, but without the verve and brilliance of the classics, and, among other things, with a quality that is indeed quite mediocre in this case. On the other hand, we have Japanese animation, which is a fully-fledged industry that boasts tremendous heterogeneity (there are animated series for every taste: from science fiction to horror to comedy) and, especially, has succeeded in freeing cartoons from their status as "children's products." Many Japanese productions are aimed at an "adult" audience: just think of one of the best products of recent years, Neon Genesis Evangelion: a show about giant robots where the giant robots are barely seen for entire episodes, and the real focus is on the protagonists' anxieties. Find me a comparable term CURRENTLY available in the American scene. And the discussion could go on for a long time... but I guess we’re both tired of it!!:DDD! Bye!

I knew it! It was going to turn into a serious discussion! What a hassle!:DDD! By the way, forgive me, but to counter your statements one by one would take a week. Let’s take it step by step: 1) the spell-Indiana Jones issue. A completely irrelevant comparison: what sense does it make to compare a soap opera and a chapter of a film saga? If you really wanted to make a comparison, you could have, I don’t know, compared Indiana Jones with Star Wars. I consider you a sufficiently intelligent person to understand what I meant, so come on, let’s not get lost with these silly examples! 2) "American animation has always been superior." If you assert that, you need to justify it. It’s not enough to say that Walt Disney was the first. Being the first to do something doesn’t mean being the best! In fact, let’s not forget that before "The Little Mermaid," Disney went through a long phase of creative crisis (to the point that that film is considered the so-called "film of renaissance"). 3) "Disney has been the leader in animation for twenty years (which ones?)". We're talking about animated series, not feature films. There's a difference between Holly & Benji and a Miyazaki film. There's a difference between Duffy Duck and The Lion King. Moreover, of the animated series you mention, not one is from Disney. In any case: modern Japanese animated series can boast superlative graphic quality, which American-made animation (still talking about SERIES, think of X-Men, Action Man, and the like) is more or less deserving of a choke. 4) "Films that are still today of great beauty." True. And I would add: most are based on great classic fairy tales, while many others are "inspired" precisely by products of Japanese animation (The Lion King and Atlantis being the most notable). In any case: I assure you that Japanese animation (and here I’m talking about feature films) can also boast titles "of great beauty." I think of the works of the already mentioned Miyazaki, Otomo's Akira, Satoshi Kon's Millennium Actress, just to name the most famous ones, the ones that even a non-enthusiast like me knows. For the rest, excuse me but I’m going for a cigarette break...:DDD!

Before all hell breaks loose: this is the opinion of just some former kid who used to have snacks of bread and Nutella while watching BimBumBam! I'm not an animation expert or anything like that!! :DD! I might have said a bunch of nonsense, huh??!!!!!
