There's lots of different art styles.

Does Evangelion look like Appleseed?

I rest my proof.

Good example. *Thumbs up*

It's like thinking the art style of "Dragon Ball Z" is the same as "Ah! My Goddess".
I guess that some people just don't know how to see it.

Why are you starting shit? Don't you have anything better to do?

Anime can't be classifyed as a genre by the way.

Dude, your friend is the biggest retard on earth. Basically, he's saying Gundams look like Spike from Cowboy Bebop. But, some people say One Piece characters look slightly like Rave Master characters. In my opinion, they do.

Well, some similarities are inavoidable, aren't they? Though some are on purpose, such as Eggman's giant Robot in Sonic X Episode 13 resembling an old 1970s Robot known as Mazinger Z.

Some series make references with others, such as the Gundam Freaks in GTO making Gundam references throughout their filming-time. XD

I think anime shows have a lot better stories that develop over the series, where as western animation all seems to be episode based. Watching a good anime is like reading a novel instead of a comic book.

Thanks. XD

Thanks to the Super Robot Wars series of games, I can see my old favourites like the Getta Robo Series, Daimos, GaoGaiGar as well as the famous Gundam series under one game. And I got to love those Banpresto originals, especially from the Alpha timeline.

I'm looking for Megazone 23 DVDs at the moment, I don't seem to find them anywhere nowadays...

Shut up Jackass, your a disgrace to th clocks and your making false assumptions they do not look the same and neither do they think that of us.

lol, actually lots of people in Europe and Asia think that americans are either cowboys or they wear a baseball cap and carry a boombox over their shoulder. To back this up I've been to Germany, Austria, Taiwan, England, Russia etc.

No. If you study the styles between Sailor Moon, One Piece, Fist of the North Star, Ninja Scroll, and Chrono Trigger, you'll see many differences.

Let's not forget Toriyama's unique style of Giant Muscular builds for men and cute crossed eyes for the girls. XD

Dr. Slump, Dragon Ball Series (Excluding GT) as well as Neko-Majin Z (A paordy)... And he's doing art for Dragon Quest series obviously.

That's horribly wrong, and you know it.

It depends on the artist's STYLE. Style is NOT the same thing as Skill.

Though it is true that some styles are harder to learn than others, what matters is how well styles are applied and used.
