Granted some of us here are as fickle as a collector of fine wines when we try to define anime as purely Japanese only cartoons. My personal opinion is are wise America and Europe could turn out simular high quality art wise stuff. The shortcoming is western culture have vary rarely if at all come to understand that audiences don't mind the non happy ending story westerners have come to like in the past ex (the lead character dieing at the end of an anime) . But as I said if some of the Western studio's would turn out quality work that is artisic and story simular to Japanese anime I think it has a right to get the foot in the door
