Is there any US/Western animation that isn't strictly comedy or sunday kids stuff that doesn't suck ass, AND isn't episodic and doesn't include anything with ____man or superheros?
Beast wars or Beasties whichever...(hmm what came after that series?
Shadow Raiders
Reboot (or is that comedyish?)
Cyber Six (I think that wasn't anime...)

What do you expect man - no one in America will fund a dramatic animation series that isn't already a superhero action series. I'd love to see something like Monster over here, but without some kind of toy line to profit from, I don't think a serious show can get produced.

Cybersix was a Japanese/Canadian co-production based on an Argentinan comic. Animated in Japan, but essentially for an English audience. Whether this actually counts as 'anime', I can't decide.
It does, however, kick much ass.

Beast Machines came after Beast Wars. It wasn't as good, but it wasn't as bad as everyone claims it is...

Aimed for kids, but those were very good. >>9
Gargoyles was aimed for kids, but very good show. Loved to watch it as kid. >>10
Again aimed for kids. >>12
Aimed for kids, but they were good too.
Conclusion: 95% of Western animation is for kids, but in old times it was better than these days. Back then they had even plot and even adults can enjoy them. Atleast I do, even today.

Spawn kicked ass back in the day, though, I suppose it would be disqualified for being a "superhero" show.

It's difference between how Japanese and American ADULTS react to violence, sex and nudity. Japanese have much healthy views of violence, sex and nudity. They aren't viewed as taboos or anything. That's why to some Americans(mostly soccer moms and similar) it seems that kid's anime have too much violence(although typically "good guys" never do bad things and use violence only against really bad guys), sexual references and nudity.

BUT IN AMERIKA THE SAME ANIME IS FOR TEENS?

You guys all fail.
And not just regular fail, I'm talking guy-who-sneaks-into-a-bank-after-it-closes-robs-every-freaking-safe-deposit-box-and-then-realizes-hes-locked-in fail.
Watch the M.A.X.X, Heavy Metal, and maby Spawn to help you calm down after all the violence in the first two. Stop bitching, go away.
What's the point of it being animated if it can be easily done in real life?

I can think many settings hard to create in real-life that would make nifty base for good stories. These are atleast cyberpunk and steampunk. Sci-fi & fantasy in general are very expensive to make and today's trend seem to be use computer animation.

That's why I'm pissed off at Hollywood for not making mature animated adapatations of V for Vendetta, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Hellblazer, From Hell, etc. They just have to do live action.

Not entirely true. Anime is often edited considerably from its manga, and Japan's got their own overprotective parents too...
