That's not so much anime as pretty much all media. Though actually, in anime moreso than a lot of western stuff, there seem to be a lot of 'tragic victories' of sorts, where the good guys win, but at great cost to themselves and their cause.

Anime = one class of Eastern stuff

Western stuff = the entrie class of Western stuff?

If we're comparing anime to the whole of Western story telling, then the West wins out by far on the tragedy/sad ending/bad guy wins front.

If we're talking in strictly Western animation, then yes, you have a point.

Well, not just Western animation, but a lot of things that would be in the same class as a lot of anime; that is, entertainment meant for some of the same demographics. If we're going to look at "artsy" kinds of things, so to speak, well, you'll get more, particularly if you look into older tragedies and all. I meant more popular tv shows and movies and the like.

I gotta agree with Zero on this one in my entire life of watching anime the only time I've seen the bad guys "win" is once maybe twice and only for two episodes max.....That is of cource if you get the "censored" versions of Anime that happens when it goes over the ocean not only are sceens ripped out but at times entire episodes are skipped (ex: In the Megaman EXE Anime they can't even bring themselfs to show Lan/Netto getting scratched by a firikken rock ) (or even better ex2: In the Poke'mon Anime I've heard that in one episode that was removed from Amarican shores Ash accually got a gun and shot someone with it (I've only heard that but I have reliable resorces)).

On the other hand if you think "true" anime (non poke'mon/Yu-gi-oh) is great try surfing around to find some unedited, uncut Japenese episodes of some Anime I garantee the results will be amazing.

Sigh... Me. I HATE IT! But for me it's always Yu-Gi-Oh... They are like, "Hey, Did Yugi get his Ultimate card and win? Loser." And mark me a Yu-Gi-Oh fan even though i never said anything about yugioh...
