No, I'm referring to the fact that though the series was initially produced in Japan, it had strong American influences in it's storytelling and artistic style, not to mention that the second half of the series was produced in cooperation with an American animation studio. |

I think he's referring to the quote of how Big O is part super robot anime, part James Bond, and part Batman. Or some shit like that. |

Um, how is Big O hybridized American/Japanese animation? |

See, the thing about Americans stealing wierd hair colors and styles and exaggerated jawlines and nonexistent noses... We're just paying back the favor for when the Japanese ripped giant doe eyes from Disney sixty years ago. |

Anime, cartoons...do you recognize the existence of a third "species" of animation? I do, and I call it hybrid animation; that which combines the techniques, traditions and styles of Japanese and American animation. Big O is probably the most well-known example, but I'd also consider Avatar: The Last Airbender to be a hybrid. I personally don't consider Teen Titans or HiHi Puffy Amiyumi to be hybrid, they're almost purely American-style which merely use the exaggerated facial expressions seen in many anime that were based on manga (coincidentally, my least favorite kind of anime).
So what do you think? Does hybrid animation really exist, or am I just makin' things up. |
