Hang on, how can animation in an animation not matter to you
dats not smiley i use
But regarding the rest of your post, fair enough - I can relate to that. When I watch a cartoon or anime, I never really expect anything besides the animation to be genuinely
good. I just expect it to be quirky or funny or make me smile, and when there's one of those rare gems like Avatar: The Legend of Aang (Korra still isn't available here, for all I can tell!) that really make you go 'wow, that's actually really nice and I can see how much effort was put into this' or something absolutely mind-raping like Death Note, then that's fantastic, but generally, I don't watch cartoons for their quality. I know they're going to be crappy or mediocre at best. I watch them for their entertainment, their humour or their 'cuteness', if you will. Therefore animation comes up front in cartoons for me, because it's the one thing where most shows I compare with each other excell in or wither.
But yes, if you're looking at the genuine quality of cartoons, story, voice acting, music are all very important. I'd like you to try and find some Skyland - I enjoyed this a lot, and it's been one of the only shows I know (Avatar also being one) where the Dutch voice acting appealed to me. You may not know this, but most cartoons here use the same voice actors over and over and it gets that 'sloppy Joe we'll just slap a voice dub on it' feel to it over time. However, shows like these present themselves much better and I can appreciate a whole lot more because of it.
