アニメ VS アメリカンドラマ

夕べはアニメかアメリカンドラマのどっちのほうが面白いのかを議論した。アメリカンドラマと言えば、24、プリズン・ブレイク、ロストなど。外人の友の中で、殆どはロストにはまっているという。BSテレビにロストが出たら、ちょっと見てみることにしたのだが、何人かが島で喧嘩ばっかりしているの見た。すげーつまらなかった。
妻はブリズン・ブレイクを見ているので、僕もたまに見ています。しかしアニメは僕にとっては食べ物と同じもんだ。毎日のアニメ接種がなければ目眩がする。

    Interesting post Danny, I often have this kind of discussion with some of my classmates from college, most of them say that anime is just cartoons, well it's true but it has enumerous stories and it's fun.
    I lived many years watching american series and got tired of it I even watched prison break but I stoped 'cause I'm tired of TV that's why I decided to watch anime again and now I can't stop I'm addicted.
    Both ways of good and bad series but at this moment I'm completely focused on anime.

    Anime for me definately, I find american television a bit dull sometimes (no offense). Theres alot more interesting things to see in the anime genre. That & I've never been a fan of mainstream media.

    Anime for me. Ever since those stupid realtiy TV shows started appearing on American television, our stuff just hasn't been the same. Even shows like 24, Lost, Prison Break, etc. are fairly boring to me.

    It depends on how well written and imaginative the dramas are. Lost and Prison Break are great examples of that. But I find that as they go on season after season I get bored. This is what happened with the show 24 for me. I can't watch it and I've barely watched Lost. Then there are shows like CSI (all three of them) and Law & Order and the 20,000 derivatives and similar shows that are created after them. These become boring and pretty much repetitive real fast.

    One reason why I like watching anime is that even if the show is average, I find it more entertaining then even the best American drama. But then there are few Japanese dramas that I like even better than American ones: Akihabara@DEEP, Nodame Cantabile and Shibuya 15 come to mind.

    I don't think I could go with only one, cuz on one hand Dramas like 24 or Battlestar Galactica are very addicting and keep me wanting more, while animes like Gantz or Ergo Proxy are a sheer joy to watch after a rough day at work.

    for me, it's less about the medium and more about the story.

    Although I tend to prefer Anime, a few Dramas have caught my attention over the years, Most don't seem fantastic enough. To me, Anime has this energetic vibe while American Drama seems toned down.

    Being very general, then anime. This is an otaku forum after all, lol. But being more specific, the best of anime and the best of US drama (like Smallville, Battlestar Galactica, etc.) are tough to rank. Might as well ask: Which do you prefer, Steak or cake? But while we're at it, why not ask: Which do you prefer, Hentai or live-action porn? :)

    Personally I just Love anime, as it tends to be able to do things impossible for actors.

    The only thing I have to say is Heroes. It can be so easily turned into an anime I think they should.

    I stopped watching TV a few years ago. I got tired of being a slave to the network's schedules, and substandard television programming choices.

    I prefer to watch DVDs now where I can watch what I choose and when I want to watch it.

    I rather have good anime, but then I do enjoy drama. I personally love scifi like Stargate, Battlestar Galactica (new one), Heroes and many more.

    Bleg. Today's American drama kinda sucks. It's usually the same thing but I could say the same with Anime but there's the kicker: anime can distort things and it'll all be okay.

    I don't know, I can never really sit down and watch A.D. because it's just too boring for me. If there's no action with people flying through the air then I'm not interested. :P

    I generally hate US tv, even though I live here and am in fact an American, LOL. The one major exception is "24". I just can't live without Jack Bauer. It really is my 'Soap Opera' I guess. I also like Prison Break. Am I the only one who thinks that if he hadn't broke his brother out of jail all those innocent people wouldn't have been killed along the way? I mean, sheesh, all those deaths because of Linc. :P
    I am actually a JDrama junkie and love those to death, I am rewatching Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (with Abe Hiroshi) at the moment. One of the funniest dramas i've ever seen.
    Only problem with these dramas is all the cute girls, it's cute girl overload and sometimes I need a break of the mecha-kawaiiness of it all. ;)

      JDrama has some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen. It's so incredibly cheesy at time, but it's genuinely funny. Unfortunately the guys aren't always quite as pretty as the girls. It's not really fair. :(

    Once in a blue moon I will start watching an American TV drama. In my opinion, most American dramas have too many episodes, rely too much on special effects and unoriginal stories. BSG (Battlestar Galactica) is the only show I have been watching lately, but I'm beginning to feel it's slowly losing it's way.

    My fiancee enjoys watching American TV dramas, so now I sit through more of the shows. ^^; She says the shows help her with her English Conversation. She is fortunate that everything is new and original for her. It's fun for me because I get to introduce her to some of my favorites, such as M.A.S.H.

    Then again we both watch as much Japanese TV together as American TV. Usually I follow two or three of the new dramas at the start of each new season. Of course that depends on the season. As you know, summer shows are fewer and one spends less time indoors during the summer. I too need my daily dose of anime. Just as with dramas, I watch two to three of the new shows each season.

    You can take what I say with a grain of salt. I thought Enterprise was a good show and I will watch shows where the Gundam has a mustache. ^^; Actually, I'm lying about the last one. ^^; I just couldn't resist...

    Never did like lost, almost similar to that tom hanks movie that i didn't like either.But to tell you the truth I`m not that much in to anime either most of the anime i liked, i found only by accident, the same with american dramas , i guess what I`m trying to say is if the show feels old just like everything that commonly comes out today, both anime and drama then theres no point comparing each to one-another. Oh and Prison Break is Wicked!!!

    Give Heroes (NBC drama) a try. Its nothing new for seasoned readers of 'mature' American superhero comics such as those by Mark Millar, Warren Ellis, Michael Straczynski et al. Jeph Loeb, a critically acclaimed comics scribe lent his talents to this drama series.

    Watch out for the Japanese character in the series "Nakamura Hiro", played by American Japanese actor/ILM studios geek Masa Oki.

    "Nakamura Hiro" is an otaku character who loves Dragonball, Jojo Bizzare's Adventures, Final Fantasy and Chronos Trigger. He's got Keroro Gunso figurines placed in his office cubicle.

    In the drama series, he speaks mostly Japanese (with English subtitles) and a smattering of English.

    In the show, 'super' Hiro has powers to travel between the space-time continuum.

    American Drama consist of mainly 97 % "CSI: insert name here"; it's boring, grusome and reaffirms to the average joe that he is helpless in a police state.

    Japanese Anime is refreshing and even though some of the plots are reused it is generally with some new twist. I can't get SciFi any where but Anime. I can't compare the two.

      The "crime" genre is really in right now. I can't stand watching those shows, personally. They're so boring to me, and every episode is just sort of the same stuff over and over again. My boyfriend loves them though, which drives me nuts.

    ただ、ホラーだったら実写かなぁ(アニメでホラーってほとんど見かけませんが)。

    Gahh - i wish you wouldntve posted that image of prison break! It looks like a major spoiler for us poor brit folks who are several months behind the US!

    I dont watch much TV, and I dont watch that much anime, as both can be of poor quality most of the time.
    I love prison break though - its probably my favourite thing on TV right now. I heard 24 is meant to be excellent, but I havent gotten into it yet. I dont like Lost - wastes too much time!

    So the answer to the poll - I like both!

    How do you get Prison Break over there by the way? What channel?

    I'm a big fan of both Anime stuff as well as American TV dramas. would say that it depends on whether I feel like having a burger or sushi hahah.

    They each have their own merits and are both respectable art forms in their own right. The Japanese tend to be more fantascial and limitless in their storylines, the Americans tend to play with reality in a way that still seems realistic.

    recent favourites of mine include:

    anime: Full metal panic, Ghost in the shell TV series, Evangelion (I know, I'm late in this department)

    american: Prison break, some episodes of LOST (bear in mind I said some haha), Heroes, etc..

    Hi!

    I see both, but if I had too choose one..... I can't live without Anime. Also, being shorter episodes, y prefer to watch 2 or 3 anime episodes than 1 american drama.

    Absoloutly HATE American Drama. I could never get into 24, Lost, Etc because they were too boring, and I just hate shows like that with an actual plot, etc. CSI (original one) however, I like to watch. Yay Grisham!

    I prefer anime way more. I don't need a daily dosage, but I do watch it every so often (3-4 days a week).

    I hates american drama just because it never come to an end. It just drag on and on, like beating a dead horse. And when it does end, it just end with no real closure to the show.
    I'm having high hope for prison break, i hope it come to an end soon and have a real ending.

    I don't think I have met anyone who has watched a decent amount of anime that would pick American drama. The only American drama I watch is heroes. Even watching a bad anime tends to be more enjoyable. If an American drama has a bad story or bad acting there are usually no redeeming qualities like great character designs or a good soundtrack.

    I never get much interest in American series. I just have the weird sensation of some lack of originality (story, character development, setting and so on) that would be common to them... (Anti-Hollywood general syndrome?) Or that I skipped and episode and lacked the will to keep on trying to follow. I liked the first season of LOST though... as a try.

    Maybe because so many of them are centered on police and political environments and it's simply not my taste.

    And like Haruhi Suzumiya would say (anyone disagree?), "Realism is so boring, you should definitely escape from it and find something extraordinary to compensate your dull daily life."

    I feel anime fills in wonderfully and the rest is pretty obvious to figure out. I don't watch TV at all anymore, except for professional wrestling/proresu (WWE).

    So I'm in 100% anime mode. No wait, I always was, since I have been in that since childhood.

(Anti-Hollywood general syndrome?) Or that I skipped and episode and lacked the will to keep on trying to follow. I liked the first season of LOST though... as a try.

    Maybe because so many of them are centered on police and political environments and it's simply not my taste.

    And like Haruhi Suzumiya would say (anyone disagree?), "Realism is so boring, you should definitely escape from it and find something extraordinary to compensate your dull daily life."

    I feel anime fills in wonderfully and the rest is pretty obvious to figure out. I don't watch TV at all anymore, except for professional wrestling/proresu (WWE).

    So I'm in 100% anime mode. No wait, I always was, since I have been in that since childhood.

    I have to agree with sbebiwan, Heroes is great. I personally really only do comedies though. Anime wins over merican drama any day though.

    I like both. I watch anime sometimes but me and my wife watch American Drama all the time especially 24 and Prison Break. You should try watching american shows especially Prison Break, it's them is refreshing plus it doesn't contain that same old story where the good guys always have their way.

    Anime all the way. I've tried watching Lost (I really tried for more than 10 episodes), but eventually my interested withered away. I agree with D_Blade, somehow the american dramas seem to be carved out of the same wood. While with anime there's much more variety, it's a miracle how many different people you can present in an anime with a simple change in hairstyle and personality.

    I personally like the older series too. Nowadays there are too many terrorist, catastrophe, murderer, tough dudes, hero, soap opera dramas (O.C. and the bunch) going on. Even the Sci-fi seems to lack intelligence and originality nowadays. I've heard that Lost isn't so interesting anymore as it's taking things on to a too weird level. Haven't watched Galactica apart from few episodes so I can't comment on it.

    I haven't watched TV at all lately, apart from Full Metal Alchemist and McGyver and some older Bond movies. Being frustrated about it.

    I am not a fan of American Drama, or rather ANY drama... Don't know... Live action is, meh...

    Lost makes me lost... I first watched lost when there was some mist monkey thing attacking the island castaways, then they totally got rid of that monster, and went about talking about the other inhabitants, and what not... and I was like, WTF HAPPENED TO THE MIST??? So yea, Lost = Lost...

    regardless, my friend has his anime phase and a drama phase... which is quite amusing...

    I follow some American shows (CSI, Bones, House, as well as a sitcom here and there), but the volume of "good anime" out there, in my opinion, exceeds the volume of "good American dramas" out there. That said, I generally enjoy watching my weekly episode of [A-drama] more than my weekly episode of [anime], though there are exceptions (Gundam 00, for example, was probably one of the best shows I've watched, A-drama or anime).

    So for A-drama, there is less of it that I enjoy, but the stuff I enjoy, I enjoy a lot.
    For anime, there's lots of decent-good stuff, but very few shows are as enjoyable as the enjoyable A-dramas.

    For the most part I find the majority of American dramas to be rubbish. But I think Prison Break is the one exception. That is one of the few shows on tv that I go way out of my way to catch. The show is absolutely amazing. Although I must admit, I was pretty disappointed with the second season. The first was just so good, it had to much to live up to. But the third season made up for it, it was very good. Despited the fact we got screwed out of probably 10 episodes because of the writers strike.

    One of the reasons why I watch anime is because TV series are so boring and lack of ideas and originality. I know there are tons of crappy anime too but anyways I rather watch anime.

    The last TV series I really enjoyed was The X files.

    I have no specific preference because anime and american drama are just mediums to express a story. So what matters is substance of the tale that is told.

    But then, anime has a lot of cute girls and explosions...

    Use to watch Lost but "lost" interest in the subsequent seasons. Now I just tune in once in awhile to keep up with what was going on, which is hard to do with that show. Most US dramas really bore me but I do like Prison Break. I tend to like shows because of the inner politics and struggles going on.

    I don't make a conscious effort to watch much on American TV (there's so much garbage). The only show I'd consider a drama that I watch is Battlestar Galactica, which is almost over. I do watch some Comedy Central and Cartoon Network shows. Namely Reno 911, Daily Show/Colbert Report, South Park, Robot Chicken, Home Movies, and The Venture Brothers...oh and Myth Busters. Not much else. Watch absurd amounts of anime though.
    It's just more interesting, I guess. I like fantasy more than I do modern stories, and there's plenty of that in anime. Plus I don't have to watch TV actors who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag.

    I love anime, but I have yet to find an anime that I can, without a doubt, say is better than House M.D.

    The thing that i hate most about american drama is that it's driven by rating and not always the storyline. Take Prison Break as an example, the first season was awesome, one of the best show on during that season and it would of been perfect to just end it after 2 seasons but no, they dragged it out to go on and on and now the story is so stupid that i really lost interest in it.
    Anime used to be great, a 26 episodes anime usually setup and build characters in it's first half and start to wind down the story as it approach the ending and have a real ending. Now it seem that most anime are getting setup to have a second season or even a third and it keep on going and some time just leave it with such an open ended ending that leave the series in ruin. Now a day i usually wait until the anime end before i start it and i look to see that it look to have a decent ending.

      very true. American drama and overall story-telling in all media is rather bland and lacks the depth and artistry that you see in Anime and Japanese story-telling. Heros had to be probably the closest I've seen an American production come to mimicking at least something from the east. I enjoyed what I saw of it but as with western artwork, American TV drama just is meh. Hollywood movies can be great but that's mainly because of their high production values. Japanese dramas can do 10x better with 10x less production value. Now if we could see a movie with the $$$ backing of a big blockbuster Hollywood movie but story, production, characters and most or all actors being Japanese...that would be something to behold.

    I don't watch TV drama at all, i did have a little interest in Prison Break but i never found the time to keep up with that show. I don't watch much TV to begin with unless there's sports on like the NBA, the MLB or the NFL.

    The only show i'm following right now on Fox 11 here in L.A. is Hell's Kitchen but that's actually a reality show.

    Story is an important point for me but I tend to side with anime more.

    Got stuck with Heroes when it aired here, pretty nice story to me. Has a liking for conspiracy type stories.
    Thats pretty much the only drama I watch.

    Anime, hands down. I just don't switch the TV on enough to know what's new with dramas. I guess I should cut down on my anime intake...

    The only thing I tend to watch on our local TV is the News.

    I usually use our TV for playing my PS2, and I watch anime when I'm done playing (usually late at night, but when there is school I usually watch 2 episodes before hitting the hay)

    I dunno, but anime seems better for me because of their exaggerated expressions and because of the voice actor's performance. But I can't deny that Dr. House rocks even though I've only managed to watch one episode.

    BTW, nice pic of the Lancelot there shooting out its slash harken.

    I've only been watching anime for two years now (albeit quite a lot of it...), so I'm a late bloomer compared to most of the folks here. :3 IMHO, both can be amazing (on a deeper level than "just" entertainment), great entertainment, average entertainment or utter crap.

    Buffy was the first show which dragged me into fandom (and straight to the internet, actually, back in 2001 or so), and along with some of Joss Whedon's other works, it remains firmly in the first category. The West Wing and the Sopranos are up there as well. And I feel the same way about, for instance, the Cowboy Bebop movie, or Honey and Clover.

    Then there's the second category. Right now, I think that House and Supernatural are providing some really great entertainment. I felt the same about Lucky Star, Higurashi, etc.

    As for some of the titles mentioned, Heroes I could never get into... I enjoyed the first season of Lost, after which they indeed "lost" me definitely. 24 was more addictive in the earlier seasons -- now I mostly watch it for laughs. Battlestar Galactica I will try to catch up with sometime when I can give it my undivided attention.

    I have never seen Prison Break, but I think I would reccomend:

    Firefly
    24
    Alias, pre-jumping the shark (around season 4, if I remember correctly)
    House (a must see, even just for one episode)
    Farscape
    Supernatural, if you can deal with there being very few ladies :D

    For the most part, my viewing times are a bit more heavy on the anime side.
    But I have been keeping up with Prison Break since its conception as well as House.
    Other than those, I dont watch any other American dramas.

        I'll second that Nodame recommendation. I'm a big fan of the anime, and I loved the live action show as well. It's a fantastic show for music fans; really loved watching the orchestras play (or at least (maybe) pretend to play) all those great songs.
