Anime vs. Speed Racer  

Huh!?

Why's everyone looking at me!? What!?

Katlady yes anime styles have changed a bit, but not that much to the casual viewer. Plus different creators and artists have different styles of it overall. And don't worry Katlady, at least I'm not gonna bash you or anything. I like this discussion and you for actually having it. By the way, I do miss some 70s and 80s anime. *reminiscent breath* Those were the days. :)

i ever saw speed racer cartoon when i was child. when the national television station not too many as like now. he was a handsome figure for cartoon. i like him. but when i see new anime recently as like avatar from nickledeon, i prefer seen avatar than speed racer. it might be the story which influence me to compare between those character

Its the eyes! My kids were big Speed fans... now my
first-born grandson draws amazing anime characters!
It's a very stylish and distinctive art form.

I watched Speed Racer when I was still in highschool (thats so many years ago hehehe)...back to the topic, I heard that Speed Racer is from Japan, so its an anime. No wonder he looks like some new anime characters out there.

Hi friend,
Let me just hope we will still be friends after you read this. My daughter is going to a private university to learn how to do animation, so I and my $20,000 a year must say it's really different. It's not just the eyes, it's the dress, the action, a lot of sword fighting, hair is really different, there are so many different ways of drawing anime. Next year, the college is sending her to Japan to study abroad for a year because Japan is so far ahead than us. Also they use a lot of animals and make believe animals. My daughter can work on one character for over 8 hours. I can draw a stick person...lol. I don't know much about anime except it is a lot different than the 70's cartoon. The more I learn about it, the more amazed I am about it.

You are sooo right. Take off the helmet and add a spiky black do and ...viola! an Anime character.
