I am convinced, no matter how much wannabe-anime style art I've seen, that one has to at least have some Asian in them to draw the anime/manga style. Yes, it's also cultural, but culture and genes go hand in hand. The "L/R" misconception is actually the ear and brain processing the letters a certain way, and Japanese people are also more responsive to higher pitched sounds rather than low bass, as seen in a lot of their music. So call me a eugenics Nazi, I don't care.
Most US or Europe art tends to have square or straight eyes, to denote seriousness or "toughness." The anime round eye style seems to be a perception of femininity, a welcoming of it even in males, that allows the character to look naturally gentle or naive. The sense of 2D moving fluidly in 3D is also different in some way. US animators tend to focus on the whole body at once, from disney to Hanna Barbera to South Park to any show made for Adult Swim.
The closest thing to anime art is Pinup girls of the mid twentieth century (when females could be oggled without complaint) and some US comics, especially Image, but even these aren't pure manga style (they are unique, but some try to resemble anime).
There is some perception of what a character "should" look like to manga artists, which creates the style, and can be seen in Korean anime style art where the heads are wider or more squished. Somehow, the us perception of what a charracter should look like in 2D either ends up very two dimensional, or like Furry art. Something in US artists makes a lot of them predisposed to drawing Furry art, or cartoon animals, but not humans. Humans have always been the most awkward, strangest things to draw, and either must look photorealistic as in fantasy art, or be abstract and cartoony.

speaks the truth
the reason nearly all western anime style looks shit is because the people drawing it have no talent, go look on deviantart for examples. All the Western artists with talent have their own style they draw in, its mostly no talent weeaboo fags that copy animu style
I MEAN FUCK EVEN ANCIENT INDIAN ARTWORK AND PERSIAN SHIT WAS SIMILAR

Yeah seriously, older manga and anime from the 60's and 70's and 80's and all that looks nothing like the styles today
The stuff back then was fucking UGLY and way more comic-book styled than it is today

It's not impossible for americans or europeans to draw in the anime/manga style and draw it well. People just have different styles of drawing and most of it is so tired and over-done anyways. Just because a person has no asian ethnicity, does not mean they cannot draw anime/manga well. It usually just means people won't give their anime/manga art the time of day.

Asains draw better anime style crap because they grew up around it. They see it evey day and absorb it. But to say their art is better is retarded. For example anything drawn by Ed Benes far surpasses anything drawn by Masashi Kishimoto(the creator of naruto). But you have to give manga artists credit. A lot of the time they are both the writer and artist of their book.

of course not they are americans
anime must be done by japanese
anime made by americans is as mexicans tacos made by taco bell
failure and not equal to the originals
i dont think it matters what kind of stuff you grew up with. what and how you draw is your choice.

I preferred it when everyone wasn't trying to imitate Japanese comic styles in order to cash in on it. I think everything would be a lot more interesting if cultures worked more on trying to develop their own art style instead of imitating other ones. American stuff seems to be degrading now that they're trying to be something they're not.
