Like Palworld or Drawn Together. Unless you specifically mean it's different from Spongebob ripping off John K. or Miracle Star ripping off Gumball. We call it "respect" now, until global "property" owners flip their shit against poor people who actually do the work.

5:10 G1 transformers designs are all based on various toys from Japan, which were naturally inspired by (or in some cases taken straight from) anime. Jetfire is a Valkyrie from Macross, for example. So indirectly it has more anime influence than most outsourced cartoons of that era
There WAS no "anime", that word mainly comes from fansubbers being pretentious and quite simply speaking Japanese like it's hors d'oeuvres. It was IMPOSSIBLE to cite inspiration from "anime", because Japanese animation was not treated as a monolith. In this modern way of historically rewriting them to the back of the bus, so we may posture about "allowing" them onto their own little lane in OUR society. And not mess with with our own Spongebob, ripping off John K. You can sweep appropriation under the rug claiming a LACK of racial component, and then go "gee, wonder how nobody in the 80's had invented another word for Japanimation yet". And this ideology is simply to stratify the society, so that other, current cheap-labor productions from Phiippines and Hong Kong, don't get their membership card to the western club. If there is a Taiwanese John K. or Jhonen Vasquez, that person doesn't GET credit. That's always been the attempt, to bury your averrage "weird foreign artist" like Kurosawa or Leone under Tarantinos and Geroge Lucases. USA doesn't do copy "right". They just copy and then demand license fees from everyone else, look at Disney. Look at countries like China that actually DO manufacturing, their bootlegs are from the SAME factories as their forced labor happens in, making the genuine goods. Then they don't pretend Miracle Star IS Gumball, they just want to make more episodes so they CALL IT Miracle star. Instead of Spongebob. That ADDITIONAL respect is twisted by the west to be "ripoff" when anyone else does it.
I absolutely love the Adult Swim esque transition sequences you have in your videos. The ones during the Thundercats, Samurai Jack, and Code Lyoko segments were incredible. Keep up the great work man.
a lot of cartoons had hidden anime references, I remember Dexter's lab had a lot, one ep he fought a kaiju that was sleeping dormant in mt fuji and fought it in his mecha suit in tokyo, another ep paid homage to speed racer and one ep even had Dexter fight an anime villian in deedee's imaginary friends world. Fusionfall even reimagined CN cartoon characters in an anime style
I remember that episode, it starts out when dexter is a transfer student to Japan, the first two kids he meets are playing with Mecha model kits, then it turns into a giant mech stand off, not to mention like you said the robots Dexter's family used were combiner bots much the ones in Voltron, Power Rangers/Super Sentai, Transformers etc
dude, even BEN 10 OF ALL THINGS referenced 2 characters from Naruto. A show about a kid, who obtains an alien watch from outer space... It's pretty hard to imagining it referencing things like that but somehow it happens. i'm not the only one who thinks some of the characters in the show also look "anime-esc", right??
I remember the examples you are talking about. Man cartoons were so good! I'm so glad I got to grow up when I did. I wish cartoons, animation, practical effects were still around in the plenty.. I never would have thought that almost all animation would disappear when I grew up..
Dexter and PowerPuff Girls both took a lot from Anime. Dexter predated a lot of western animation doing that as in emulating the way anime is animated rather than the art design of characters.
Teen titans was a HUGE part of my childhood, wish they would’ve given it a real ending. I didn’t get into anime until until late middle school but looking back on everything I liked as a kid it was SUPER anime inspired
I love your videos for two reasons: I get to watch someone talk about stuff they are so obviously passionate about, and I walk away with infinitely more respect for whatever the video was about. Great job, keep it up man
Disney loved Ghibli so much that they picked up distribution rights to their work in the early 2000s. That’s why all of the dub casts for Ghibli films up until Disney lost the rights had stacked casts and people who worked regularly with Disney.
I can’t explain why, but I love Disney’s redub of My Neighbor Totoro; the one with the Fanning sisters. I watched both English dubs, but Elle Fanning’s Mei was just too cute 🥰 Worse Disney dubs was Tells of EarthSea and The Secret World of Arrietty; the UK dub of Arrietty was 10x better.
I think Disney actually distributed Ghibli films since the late 90s with Kiki being one of the earlier ones. That kind of explains why some movies were dubbed more than one time in certain languages, since sometimes the dub was based on the Disney version, but there were dubs that were done with the Japanese version as a base
Inspector gadget was originally intended as an American adaptation of lupin III It's not just a coincidence of outsourced the animation that makes it related by anime
It was actually a French adaptation made by DiC and TMS, it was going to be called Lupin VIII and it'd have told the stories of Lupin and his friends descendants in the far future. The show itself would have been more family friendly, for example, Jigen's descendant would have eaten lollipops instead of smoking cigarettes, just like Sanji in One Piece's 4Kids dub

Tbh, over the last 20yrs since ATLA came to be it's been very validating to hear all of the conversations and attitudes regarding ATLA and its relationship or adjacency to and roots in Japanese anime develop, because I used to get absolutely shidded on about it back then even though I always knew it wasn't definitionally Japanese anime and never argued that it was. It's also just really friggin cool that so many people don't just love it, but it's also seemingly unanimously regarded as one the greatest shows of all time that actually stands the test of time almost completely independent of nostalgia, and if anything its greatness only further enhanced by nostalgia while simultaneously making people envious of people that haven't seen it yet and wish they could experience it for the first time all over again.
Avatar is great! I wouldn’t call it one of the best shows of all time PERSONALLY lol for me I think it’s just a great show that finally did the things anime has been doing for decades
I enjoy both anime and cartoons and it's cool to see this breakdown of what was inspired by what. Did you know Steven Universe was made by Rebecca Sugar who worked on Adventure Time, which was very much an outlier in terms of cartoons because it looks like a silly comedy on the outside and was made to be funny and viewed as individual episodes initially, but had fantastic plot and character development, while not having an anime style. It got really introspective and deep at parts, and is now being followed by Fionna and Cake. Adventure Time had a big impact on carroons that came after. I highly recommend it
I LOVE how much attention you pay to small details, it gives me not only a larger appreciation for the shows I’ve watched, but also gives me new things to focus on and appreciate in new shows I watch
ANOTHER BANGER, but also spawn was produced by madhouse and although it is like the first examples, that being it has anime influence not because todd just loved anime but that it just had people who worked on it also worked on anime, but because of how dark and gritty it is ti kinda feels like a random ova
28:01 ASHITA NO JOE!!! It's my favorite anime and fictinal story ever told ever! PLEASE make a video on this series! It needs more recognition, love, and respect! I remember Joe ❤
I love cartoons and anime. JoJo, Adventure Time, Yu Yu Hock E Show, Reh Goo Leer Show, Death Note, I think both styles have there own strengths. I just like both equally overall. That also means I love when the influences come togever doe.
I dont know how you do it but every single one of your videos is a banger. But i have to give you Massive Props for using Avatars love as the backing track for your segment on Avatar.Masterful Choice!
You dont miss with these videos. Love how youre able to just get up and talk ab these random ass things youre passionate ab. Huge inspiration my guy. Keep it up.
Samurai Jack, Teen Titans and Avatar are still my top 3 favourite cartoons of all time and I grew up watching just about everything you can possibly think of on Cartoon Network and [adult swim], I’ve also always loved the really really weird shit like aqua teen hunger force, sealab and especially space ghost
I wouldn't be so quick to lump BoJack in with all the other raunchy adult-oriented animated comedies. It's far from anime-inspired, but was nevertheless one of deepest, most mature, introspective and meaningful series I've seen in any medium. It has the initial facade of being another Family Guy or Archer style show, but didn't take long to start giving me the same kind of feelings I had watching Evangelion - except even more sobering and relatable with its adult characters having realistic adult problems. You mention three categories of western animation: those purely made for young children, sitcoms for adults, and the third rarer one you've felt had been missing for a long time: western animation with heavy themes and emotional focus on characters, the world they live in and their stories - as is so often present in anime. However, there's one even rarer fourth category: western animation like that third category which _also_ isn't constrained to being an all-ages series, constantly skirting the line between what it can and can’t depict. Only recently have series like Castlevania and Arcane become viable - series with pathos and compelling character-driven stories, but also no obligation to stay within TV-Y7 boundaries - and I’d count BoJack as being in that fourth category as well. That’s not to say series like ATLA are in any way worse off for having to remain relatively “child-friendly”. I’m glad it's the way it is, because there _should_ be series of that caliber accessible to children (and incidentally why I think adults who think it being compelling enough for adults makes it “not a kids’ show” are dumbasses who are missing the point and don’t understand kids). Series like ATLA+LOK, The Owl House, Over the Garden Wall, etc fill an important niche and wouldn’t be improved by a hard R-rating. I’m just glad that in addition to those, there are now finally some options more definitively intended for adults as well.
I feel you on that bojack while definitely of the ilk of stuff like South Park, family guy and such it for sure is doing things differently than a lot of those and much like more modern western cartoons like blue samurai, arcane, and castlevania they are for sure moving in the right direction!
Man, I only really got into your channel a couple weeks ago, but you have become one of my new favorites. I’m not old enough to have watched adult swim, but I still love how it’s influence, along with so many other things, has inspired you and you’re content. By wearing your influences on your sleeve, your passion for those things bleeds into your content and it gives your channel such a unique and stellar vibe. Maybe it’s because your hobbies and interests happen to line up with mine, but I feel like this channel has it all. Hearing the sentiment that adult swim felt like more than just a tv station gives me the same vibe I feel from your channel. It doesn’t just feel like like a channel with different videos uploaded to it, instead it almost feels like a chill place on the internet where you can relax and vibe to some Nujabes, Jay Dee, or whatever other great music you’ve got, all while talking about whatever you feel like. This chill internet pitstop has become one of my favorite places to hang out. God bless, and keep doing what you love man, because we love it too
When I was a kid I never really watched Nickelodeon. I was a Cartoon Network kid through and through. Because of that I never saw Avatar until I was an adult. Watching that through for the first time in my late 20s was like studying history for years and then suddenly realizing I had somehow skipped over an entire major world war and had been confused as to why things afterward were so different. Avatar is WONDERFUL and the only thing I really wish had been different in it is I wish we had more time with Zuko teaching Aang firebending near the end. They're dynamic was so great and I felt like I had been waiting for them to work together for the entire series up to then. Also, Teen Titans deserved more. I still wish to this very day I could see more of the old Teen Titans. The story and characters were so well written, the comedy was on point without being distracting from the continuity... And Slade was a legitimately terrifying villian. Plus I don't think I've ever seen comradery in a series featuring a group of heroes quite like in Teen Titans. What they went through to save Raven from her father? Insane. Maybe one day it will be revisited. If we can get a season finishing out Samurai Jack 11 years after the penultimate season then whose to say? I love that Gennedy Tartokovsky looked at Samurai Jack and basically said: My audience has grown up. Samurai Jack has to grow up as a series as well. I think a bitter sweet ending is exactly what SJ needed to have it was so great. Superb IP video as always. Thank you for this.
This answered one of my longest standing questions about 80s-early 90s cartoons. I could tell that there was SOMETHING anime-esque about a lot of those cartoons. Great video!
I really enjoy this style of video. I can’t really explain why but it just checks a lot of boxes for me. I think because it feels nostalgic to me. It feels like a combination of old skateboarding and surfing videos mixed with 2000’s mtv and toonami transitions. I really like it so good job and engaging video 👍
What’s sad is that despite being one of the best written animated shows of all time, Avatar is not popular in Japan. I’m also happy that modern animation are really building its own niche that isn’t just inspired by anime, but moving stuff forward. Like stuff like BoJack Horseman is very American, but it’s also an amazing and deep story.
Hey, I don't know if you see this but I just wanted to say that it really shows how your channel has grown, from a writing standpoint. I've been watching you for years and I really noticed how your videos become more and more analytical. You point out connections and recontextualize things so well now. I remember, in the beginning, you were very descriptive, and now you dig deeper so to say. No front to the older videos, I enjoyed them, but I really like this style too, so articulate.
From a documentary on anime I watched years ago, the reason why anime became so advanced as a medium in Japan was because of the recovery from WWII. There was no money for motion picture so manga (and eventually) anime became a more dynamic form of story telling due to the limited entertainment. You see the inverse with the American movie /tv industry.
Bro, I really don't know why, but I cry in every fucking video you make. When I discovered your channel you had just over 1,000 subscribers. The first thing I did was call my friends and: "hear me out, I just found the best content ever on youtube". I admire you work with my heart fr. Sending lots of love and admiration from Brazil!
I feel like in the 60s cartoons and anime were very similar because they were all inspired by the same things like Disney and Warner Bros. It wasn’t until the 70s when they really started to diverge stylistically. Because when I see Astro Boy and Tetsujin 28-go I see cartoons. I mean they are all the same thing anyways, but it’s something I find interesting. I mean even stuff like 101 Dalmatians influenced Japanese animators which is not very influential in the west. Also worth noting that Transformers was really popular in Japan, where it got Japanese only sequels to G1.
Yeah that is true the 60s was the start of anime serialization so they were just getting influenced and figuring it out but most research says the 70s is when anime really found it’s identity and started branching off
I've been busy for the last month, i didnt even realize my internet room mate posted a video. What a way to spend my break! I'm so happy that after the long ass wait, we are rewarded with three almost back to back to back videos!
I feel like you should've also pointed out how btas was also majorly influenced by the superman animated shorts by david Fleischer, who is responsible for changing animation in a very influential way and also gave superman his flying powers for budget cuts, the producer's have stated they used the superman shorts as a main influence for the series, they wanted it to look similar and just as well animated as the animations from Fleischer
Anime is just the world Japan uses for animation. To them, a cartoon is western anime. Someone passionate about animation would take inspiration from multiple places, and the same way western cartoons take inspiration from anime, a lot of anime is inspired by western animation, for example. Osamu Tezuka took a lot of inspiration from Disney for his art style. Eiichiro Oda has clear inspiration in classic cartoons like Popeye, Tom and Jerry, and directly mentions Vicky the Viking as inspiration for One Piece. 5 toon Powers is a direct omage to the Rubber Hose animation era. Panty and Stocking is directly inspired by cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, the Power Puff Girls, and Drawn Together. and more recently. It is well known that Tatsuki Fujimoto, the mangaka of Chainsaw Man, has taken a lot of inspiration from Adventure Time, like Finn's personality and his relationship with Princess Bubllegum. On that note, I recommend Adventure Time, which is my favorite cartoon (yes, more than Avatar). It does not look like much in the beginning but is truly great, especially in the later season, when the world is expanding a lot. Finn has character development and grows through the seasons, and the show manages to touch on really deep themes like the episode The Mountain, which touches on themes like existentialism and suffering that bring individualism to a similar level as the end of evangelion in just 11 minutes.
What still blows my mind to this day. Is how quickly the hip hop influence was integrated into anime by the Japanese. Jazz and hip hop being both African American in origin and the Japanese made it part of their animation culture 😍
I like the section about Western Animation needing the storytelling from Anime. We've hit a weird part though, where if a cartoon is doing storytelling, but it's not doing the "crude" adult stuff, they say it's "kids cartoons that only adults watch" and I think that's holding Western Animation back. Stuff like Gravity Falls and Steven Universe seemed to pull on something similar, not quite to the same level as many anime, but they were something different than a Spongebob or a Family Guy. Seems like more genres and concepts are coming out.
Aeon Flux is another great example of a cartoon that seems like it was inspired by Anime. I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed by the creator Peter Chung though. I swear I must have heard him say in an interview that he used to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion and liked it.
Actually, Peter Chung has said in an interview that when he worked at Disney he was introduced to anime by other animators like John Lasseter, who went to Japan and brought many videos to study. Interestingly, Chung mentioned that many animators were fascinated with the works made by Miyazaki before he and Takahata founded Ghibli, but Chung said he was more interested in the works of Osamu Dezaki after watching some episodes of Space Adventure Cobra that were among those videos
Just being raised on Fist of the North Star, Vamp Hunter D, Cagliostro, Macross DYRL, Neo Tokyo, Gunsmith Cats, Naussica, Honneamise, Akira, Robot Carnival, Riding Bean, Project A KO, Venus Wars, Angels Egg, Tank Police, Appleseed, Wicked City, and stuff like Golgo 13, before the age of ten really gives you a unique perspective on animation and its quality.
First video by you that I've seen. Gotta say, i appreciate my dear childhood cartoon Avatar a lot more now understanding the importance it plays in American animation history. Thanks!
Shout out IP! I've been a bit of an old head when it comes to anime for a while now so I usually just know a lot of the trivia when it comes to the behind the scenes making of stuff, but as you get more experienced in making vids you've brought up stuff and people even I did not know. Great job homie
Last time I watched your hella long video on Anime backgrounds while checking tests for my students and guess what: I'm checking tests again while watching your newest vid XD Thank you so much for making these man, I freaking love them and it's clear I'm not the only one!
If I wasn’t budgeting I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to be a high tier patron. I honestly might in the future tho cuz ur content dude…. It’s so good. You are so incredibly in tune with what fans of anime wanna hear about. You clearly already have a passion and deep knowledge of the material. Not only is it clear you live for this stuff -like the rest of us- but you also very clearly DO THE WORK.

I cannot imagine how many hrs you spent on it. You’re incredibly dedicated, hard working and informative, and me as an audience member really appreciates it. Keep it up man. You are top tier ❤✌🏼
Hi Guys, Ovrsight here Due to popular demand, We've released "Yams" on all streaming platforms. Thank you for the love we've received thus far and thank you to @Internet Pitstop for the shoutout!
I love that you made a point to cut yourself off before going into a 4 hour diatribe as if that’s something we wouldn’t watch. Love your videos man, you always teach something new and I appreciate how much effort clearly goes into these videos, from researching all the way down to editing and performing them. You’re doing great work!
Amazing essay, even as a child I understood that anime was completely different from Disney and cartoon networks shows, which is probably why I watch more anime today than I do western cartoons. Anime is just more gourmet
I love this video. Thankyou for talking about all this... I was very lucky and i grew up with avatar while it first became a thing.. I remeber being hyped for season 2 while it was airing with my my mom. Ive also felt touched by the messages and love and connection through this show and others that i also attached to at a young age.. Watching this video really helped me understand how big of a circle ive been in. Thankyou!
You should do a western inspired anime video like how Bambi inspired Astro boy, My Hero Academia and western comics, Gunsmith Cats and Cowboy Bebop inspired by western cop action movies or Panty & Stalking inspired by Cartoon Network shows
staying up all night on hoping my parents didn't hear and come turn the TV off, staying up way past my bedtime to experience FLCL in one straight run on Adult Swim is a deep, and cherished memory. I had the Pillows on my MP3 player man. Little Busters is the first riff I learned on Bass, I rewatch it about once a year on my PS2 with a CRT on DVD. I loved all of these shows mentioned, big shoutouts to DBZ, Batman, Teen Titans, Samurai Jack and Avatar too. ...oh god am I a weeb...
thank you video essay man for explaining why i like things and making this video i was jumping up and down the whole time (i watch hxh, ghibli, avatar and bojack like everyday, i might actually watch the other shows that are as good i already wanted to watch after this hopefully)
He don't miss. Always awesome to see how anime that was kinda niche and seen as weird creep into the popular culture, I guess it really was every 90s kid growing up and getting careers animating with their Saturday mornings (and late nights) at the forefront of their minds.

dude, even BEN 10 OF ALL THINGS referenced 2 characters from Naruto.
A show about a kid, who obtains an alien watch from outer space... It's pretty hard to imagining it referencing things like that but somehow it happens.
i'm not the only one who thinks some of the characters in the show also look "anime-esc", right??
I remember the examples you are talking about. Man cartoons were so good! I'm so glad I got to grow up when I did. I wish cartoons, animation, practical effects were still around in the plenty.. I never would have thought that almost all animation would disappear when I grew up..
Dexter and PowerPuff Girls both took a lot from Anime.
Dexter predated a lot of western animation doing that as in emulating the way anime is animated rather than the art design of characters.
Teen titans was a HUGE part of my childhood, wish they would’ve given it a real ending.
I didn’t get into anime until until late middle school but looking back on everything I liked as a kid it was SUPER anime inspired
I love your videos for two reasons: I get to watch someone talk about stuff they are so obviously passionate about, and I walk away with infinitely more respect for whatever the video was about. Great job, keep it up man
Thank you for giving Welcome to the NHK, Monster, and Belladonna of Sadness the recognition they deserve. Those anime aren't talked about enough.
Disney loved Ghibli so much that they picked up distribution rights to their work in the early 2000s. That’s why all of the dub casts for Ghibli films up until Disney lost the rights had stacked casts and people who worked regularly with Disney.
I can’t explain why, but I love Disney’s redub of My Neighbor Totoro; the one with the Fanning sisters.
I watched both English dubs, but Elle Fanning’s Mei was just too cute 🥰
Worse Disney dubs was Tells of EarthSea and The Secret World of Arrietty; the UK dub of Arrietty was 10x better.
@@trika91 I grew up with the og English dub of Totoro so imo that’s the better one due to nostalgia.
I think Disney actually distributed Ghibli films since the late 90s with Kiki being one of the earlier ones. That kind of explains why some movies were dubbed more than one time in certain languages, since sometimes the dub was based on the Disney version, but there were dubs that were done with the Japanese version as a base
Inspector gadget was originally intended as an American adaptation of lupin III
It's not just a coincidence of outsourced the animation that makes it related by anime
It was actually a French adaptation made by DiC and TMS, it was going to be called Lupin VIII and it'd have told the stories of Lupin and his friends descendants in the far future. The show itself would have been more family friendly, for example, Jigen's descendant would have eaten lollipops instead of smoking cigarettes, just like Sanji in One Piece's 4Kids dub
@@pablocasas5906 that's so cool man thank you for telling me that
Internet pitstop tries to make an uninteresting video challenge (IMPOSSIBLE!).
Your videos are some SuperEyePatchWolf levels of good, yet you manage to finish them pretty quickly given the amount of editing (and occasional insane runtime). Hope you keep rising in popularity, because i always look forward to these
Great video bro, Blue Eye Samurai is another example of modern western animation starting to understanding the essence of what makes anime great
DAMN! I Forgot about that one that would be a great mention!
More like what MADE anime great back in the day. Anime fell off and now cartoons and comics are on top
Tbh, over the last 20yrs since ATLA came to be it's been very validating to hear all of the conversations and attitudes regarding ATLA and its relationship or adjacency to and roots in Japanese anime develop, because I used to get absolutely shidded on about it back then even though I always knew it wasn't definitionally Japanese anime and never argued that it was. It's also just really friggin cool that so many people don't just love it, but it's also seemingly unanimously regarded as one the greatest shows of all time that actually stands the test of time almost completely independent of nostalgia, and if anything its greatness only further enhanced by nostalgia while simultaneously making people envious of people that haven't seen it yet and wish they could experience it for the first time all over again.
Avatar is great! I wouldn’t call it one of the best shows of all time PERSONALLY lol for me I think it’s just a great show that finally did the things anime has been doing for decades
Holy crap... I literally dressed like that.... 21 years ago, boy do I feel old. Glad to see you young nerdlings carrying the torch!
Love being a nerdling 🤌🏼
Whyd you stop?
I enjoy both anime and cartoons and it's cool to see this breakdown of what was inspired by what.
Did you know Steven Universe was made by Rebecca Sugar who worked on Adventure Time, which was very much an outlier in terms of cartoons because it looks like a silly comedy on the outside and was made to be funny and viewed as individual episodes initially, but had fantastic plot and character development, while not having an anime style. It got really introspective and deep at parts, and is now being followed by Fionna and Cake.
Adventure Time had a big impact on carroons that came after.
I highly recommend it
Hello Brother!!!!!!!! It's my favorite roommate!
I LOVE how much attention you pay to small details, it gives me not only a larger appreciation for the shows I’ve watched, but also gives me new things to focus on and appreciate in new shows I watch
ANOTHER BANGER, but also spawn was produced by madhouse and although it is like the first examples, that being it has anime influence not because todd just loved anime but that it just had people who worked on it also worked on anime, but because of how dark and gritty it is ti kinda feels like a random ova
Your editing and music choices are just getting better and better. Keep it up!
Wake up babe, new IP video just dropped
28:01 ASHITA NO JOE!!! It's my favorite anime and fictinal story ever told ever! PLEASE make a video on this series! It needs more recognition, love, and respect! I remember Joe ❤
I love cartoons and anime. JoJo, Adventure Time, Yu Yu Hock E Show, Reh Goo Leer Show, Death Note, I think both styles have there own strengths. I just like both equally overall. That also means I love when the influences come togever doe.
This video has such a great thumbnail, good job :)
Actually while the concept was my idea I had it done by someone else wasn't sure I could do the idea myself but thank you!
@@InternetPitstop I love your vision! And the one who executed it did really well too. I do wonder how yours would've turned out 0 .0
We need "The Beauty of Western Animation Backgrounds"
U just derailed the next 39:58 minutes of my life and all I can say is thank u🗿
I dont know how you do it but every single one of your videos is a banger. But i have to give you Massive Props for using Avatars love as the backing track for your segment on Avatar.Masterful Choice!
You dont miss with these videos. Love how youre able to just get up and talk ab these random ass things youre passionate ab. Huge inspiration my guy. Keep it up.
Samurai Jack, Teen Titans and Avatar are still my top 3 favourite cartoons of all time and I grew up watching just about everything you can possibly think of on Cartoon Network and [adult swim], I’ve also always loved the really really weird shit like aqua teen hunger force, sealab and especially space ghost
I wouldn't be so quick to lump BoJack in with all the other raunchy adult-oriented animated comedies. It's far from anime-inspired, but was nevertheless one of deepest, most mature, introspective and meaningful series I've seen in any medium. It has the initial facade of being another Family Guy or Archer style show, but didn't take long to start giving me the same kind of feelings I had watching Evangelion - except even more sobering and relatable with its adult characters having realistic adult problems.
You mention three categories of western animation: those purely made for young children, sitcoms for adults, and the third rarer one you've felt had been missing for a long time: western animation with heavy themes and emotional focus on characters, the world they live in and their stories - as is so often present in anime. However, there's one even rarer fourth category: western animation like that third category which _also_ isn't constrained to being an all-ages series, constantly skirting the line between what it can and can’t depict. Only recently have series like Castlevania and Arcane become viable - series with pathos and compelling character-driven stories, but also no obligation to stay within TV-Y7 boundaries - and I’d count BoJack as being in that fourth category as well.
That’s not to say series like ATLA are in any way worse off for having to remain relatively “child-friendly”. I’m glad it's the way it is, because there _should_ be series of that caliber accessible to children (and incidentally why I think adults who think it being compelling enough for adults makes it “not a kids’ show” are dumbasses who are missing the point and don’t understand kids). Series like ATLA+LOK, The Owl House, Over the Garden Wall, etc fill an important niche and wouldn’t be improved by a hard R-rating. I’m just glad that in addition to those, there are now finally some options more definitively intended for adults as well.
I feel you on that bojack while definitely of the ilk of stuff like South Park, family guy and such it for sure is doing things differently than a lot of those and much like more modern western cartoons like blue samurai, arcane, and castlevania they are for sure moving in the right direction!
Man, I only really got into your channel a couple weeks ago, but you have become one of my new favorites. I’m not old enough to have watched adult swim, but I still love how it’s influence, along with so many other things, has inspired you and you’re content. By wearing your influences on your sleeve, your passion for those things bleeds into your content and it gives your channel such a unique and stellar vibe. Maybe it’s because your hobbies and interests happen to line up with mine, but I feel like this channel has it all. Hearing the sentiment that adult swim felt like more than just a tv station gives me the same vibe I feel from your channel. It doesn’t just feel like like a channel with different videos uploaded to it, instead it almost feels like a chill place on the internet where you can relax and vibe to some Nujabes, Jay Dee, or whatever other great music you’ve got, all while talking about whatever you feel like. This chill internet pitstop has become one of my favorite places to hang out. God bless, and keep doing what you love man, because we love it too
That Thundercats transition was fire, great work as always man. Keep up the hard work, loving the videos!
Ay, what's up! Welcome back, fam! 😎🔥
I love the stuff you put out and the vibe you always exemplify
Possibly the earliest I've been to an internet Pitstop video
and it's a topic I don't see talked about enough? we're golden
When I was a kid I never really watched Nickelodeon. I was a Cartoon Network kid through and through. Because of that I never saw Avatar until I was an adult. Watching that through for the first time in my late 20s was like studying history for years and then suddenly realizing I had somehow skipped over an entire major world war and had been confused as to why things afterward were so different.
Avatar is WONDERFUL and the only thing I really wish had been different in it is I wish we had more time with Zuko teaching Aang firebending near the end. They're dynamic was so great and I felt like I had been waiting for them to work together for the entire series up to then.
Also, Teen Titans deserved more. I still wish to this very day I could see more of the old Teen Titans. The story and characters were so well written, the comedy was on point without being distracting from the continuity... And Slade was a legitimately terrifying villian. Plus I don't think I've ever seen comradery in a series featuring a group of heroes quite like in Teen Titans. What they went through to save Raven from her father? Insane.
Maybe one day it will be revisited. If we can get a season finishing out Samurai Jack 11 years after the penultimate season then whose to say? I love that Gennedy Tartokovsky looked at Samurai Jack and basically said: My audience has grown up. Samurai Jack has to grow up as a series as well. I think a bitter sweet ending is exactly what SJ needed to have it was so great.
Superb IP video as always. Thank you for this.
Media is a holistic world and recognizing how one thing influences another is always fun.
Ay lil bruh...I'm expecting the 8hr Akira Toriyama drip tribute video to be epic! Salute, RIP the goat! Keep creating!
This answered one of my longest standing questions about 80s-early 90s cartoons. I could tell that there was SOMETHING anime-esque about a lot of those cartoons. Great video!
I really enjoy this style of video. I can’t really explain why but it just checks a lot of boxes for me. I think because it feels nostalgic to me. It feels like a combination of old skateboarding and surfing videos mixed with 2000’s mtv and toonami transitions. I really like it so good job and engaging video 👍
What’s sad is that despite being one of the best written animated shows of all time, Avatar is not popular in Japan. I’m also happy that modern animation are really building its own niche that isn’t just inspired by anime, but moving stuff forward. Like stuff like BoJack Horseman is very American, but it’s also an amazing and deep story.
Hey, I don't know if you see this but I just wanted to say that it really shows how your channel has grown, from a writing standpoint. I've been watching you for years and I really noticed how your videos become more and more analytical. You point out connections and recontextualize things so well now. I remember, in the beginning, you were very descriptive, and now you dig deeper so to say. No front to the older videos, I enjoyed them, but I really like this style too, so articulate.
From a documentary on anime I watched years ago, the reason why anime became so advanced as a medium in Japan was because of the recovery from WWII. There was no money for motion picture so manga (and eventually) anime became a more dynamic form of story telling due to the limited entertainment. You see the inverse with the American movie /tv industry.
omg guys look, my favorite youtuber uploaded ❤ hehe
Bro, I really don't know why, but I cry in every fucking video you make. When I discovered your channel you had just over 1,000 subscribers. The first thing I did was call my friends and: "hear me out, I just found the best content ever on youtube". I admire you work with my heart fr. Sending lots of love and admiration from Brazil!
I feel like in the 60s cartoons and anime were very similar because they were all inspired by the same things like Disney and Warner Bros. It wasn’t until the 70s when they really started to diverge stylistically. Because when I see Astro Boy and Tetsujin 28-go I see cartoons. I mean they are all the same thing anyways, but it’s something I find interesting. I mean even stuff like 101 Dalmatians influenced Japanese animators which is not very influential in the west. Also worth noting that Transformers was really popular in Japan, where it got Japanese only sequels to G1.
Yeah that is true the 60s was the start of anime serialization so they were just getting influenced and figuring it out but most research says the 70s is when anime really found it’s identity and started branching off
I've been busy for the last month, i didnt even realize my internet room mate posted a video. What a way to spend my break!
I'm so happy that after the long ass wait, we are rewarded with three almost back to back to back videos!
I feel like you should've also pointed out how btas was also majorly influenced by the superman animated shorts by david Fleischer, who is responsible for changing animation in a very influential way and also gave superman his flying powers for budget cuts, the producer's have stated they used the superman shorts as a main influence for the series, they wanted it to look similar and just as well animated as the animations from Fleischer
i grew up with toonami shows and french anime i was kid also welcome back king
This channel is great for nostalgia trips and finding new stuff to watch from the past.
IP, your videos bring me so much warmth and happiness I just wanna appreciate everything you do, you brighten up so many people's days :)
Always a good day when IP uploads
Great, now I gotta stop savouring Atmosphere in Zelda Games and finish that video, too!
Early anime like Astroboy was inspired by western cartoons, so this just cycles back and forth forever.
Our boy IP is killing it with these video essays love to see it.
Anime is just the world Japan uses for animation. To them, a cartoon is western anime. Someone passionate about animation would take inspiration from multiple places, and the same way western cartoons take inspiration from anime, a lot of anime is inspired by western animation, for example. Osamu Tezuka took a lot of inspiration from Disney for his art style. Eiichiro Oda has clear inspiration in classic cartoons like Popeye, Tom and Jerry, and directly mentions Vicky the Viking as inspiration for One Piece. 5 toon Powers is a direct omage to the Rubber Hose animation era. Panty and Stocking is directly inspired by cartoons like Ren and Stimpy, the Power Puff Girls, and Drawn Together.
and more recently. It is well known that Tatsuki Fujimoto, the mangaka of Chainsaw Man, has taken a lot of inspiration from Adventure Time, like Finn's personality and his relationship with Princess Bubllegum. On that note, I recommend Adventure Time, which is my favorite cartoon (yes, more than Avatar). It does not look like much in the beginning but is truly great, especially in the later season, when the world is expanding a lot. Finn has character development and grows through the seasons, and the show manages to touch on really deep themes like the episode The Mountain, which touches on themes like existentialism and suffering that bring individualism to a similar level as the end of evangelion in just 11 minutes.
What still blows my mind to this day. Is how quickly the hip hop influence was integrated into anime by the Japanese. Jazz and hip hop being both African American in origin and the Japanese made it part of their animation culture 😍
This should be your next topic please 🙏🏼, and tie in the lofi anime girl and Nujabes 🥺😩
I like the section about Western Animation needing the storytelling from Anime. We've hit a weird part though, where if a cartoon is doing storytelling, but it's not doing the "crude" adult stuff, they say it's "kids cartoons that only adults watch" and I think that's holding Western Animation back. Stuff like Gravity Falls and Steven Universe seemed to pull on something similar, not quite to the same level as many anime, but they were something different than a Spongebob or a Family Guy. Seems like more genres and concepts are coming out.
Artists are always ahead of the curve in accepting and loving media that people are ostracized for liking
Aeon Flux is another great example of a cartoon that seems like it was inspired by Anime. I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed by the creator Peter Chung though. I swear I must have heard him say in an interview that he used to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion and liked it.
Actually, Peter Chung has said in an interview that when he worked at Disney he was introduced to anime by other animators like John Lasseter, who went to Japan and brought many videos to study. Interestingly, Chung mentioned that many animators were fascinated with the works made by Miyazaki before he and Takahata founded Ghibli, but Chung said he was more interested in the works of Osamu Dezaki after watching some episodes of Space Adventure Cobra that were among those videos
every video you put out is so inspiring, thank you for putting this much love and attention to the animation industry!!
New IP video?? Lez go
Just being raised on Fist of the North Star, Vamp Hunter D, Cagliostro, Macross DYRL, Neo Tokyo, Gunsmith Cats, Naussica, Honneamise, Akira, Robot Carnival, Riding Bean, Project A KO, Venus Wars, Angels Egg, Tank Police, Appleseed, Wicked City, and stuff like Golgo 13, before the age of ten really gives you a unique perspective on animation and its quality.
My mom grew up watching a lot of 80s cartoons and I always tell her how she was watching anime and ain’t even know it 😭 5:45
First video by you that I've seen. Gotta say, i appreciate my dear childhood cartoon Avatar a lot more now understanding the importance it plays in American animation history. Thanks!
MA BOY came with that fit, cooked another banger and went back to the kitchen for the next dish can't wait my brother from another mother~
bruh the fit check segment had me dying 😂, you got that shit on FR!
Lol that’s good to hear I was thinking about doing something like that in vids but wasn’t sure if ppl would mess with it
Just hear to say you’ve got an amazing taste in music as well.
Keep up the PHENOMENAL work.
Lol I think I made this almost exact essay in high school for my art class lol!
Great work, love your work, keep it up.
Shout out IP! I've been a bit of an old head when it comes to anime for a while now so I usually just know a lot of the trivia when it comes to the behind the scenes making of stuff, but as you get more experienced in making vids you've brought up stuff and people even I did not know. Great job homie
Second video of yours that has brought tears to my eyes. Thank you
Last time I watched your hella long video on Anime backgrounds while checking tests for my students and guess what: I'm checking tests again while watching your newest vid XD
Thank you so much for making these man, I freaking love them and it's clear I'm not the only one!
If I wasn’t budgeting I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to be a high tier patron. I honestly might in the future tho cuz ur content dude…. It’s so good.
You are so incredibly in tune with what fans of anime wanna hear about. You clearly already have a passion and deep knowledge of the material. Not only is it clear you live for this stuff -like the rest of us- but you also very clearly DO THE WORK. I can’t imagine how much time it takes not only to organize a basic script but to also research and put together clips of shows. N it’s not just a few- there are SO MANY clips in ur videos! I cannot imagine how many hrs you spent on it. You’re incredibly dedicated, hard working and informative, and me as an audience member really appreciates it. Keep it up man. You are top tier ❤✌🏼
Thank you so much for these kind words! No sweat on the Patreon honestly inflation is crazy rn so do your thing lol
Hi Guys, Ovrsight here
Due to popular demand, We've released "Yams" on all streaming platforms.
Thank you for the love we've received thus far and thank you to @Internet Pitstop for the shoutout!
God Damn FLCL is crazy with the influences, def my #1, especially shoegaze and grunge lol
For sure bro it literally influenced some of the best stuff in American animation kinda crazy
thank you, IbraHIM. another phenomenal upload, keep up the stupendious work!!!
Seeing a new vid today really made it better, appreciate u can’t wait to watch
WOOOOO. This video was amazing, even brought some tears to me old eyes. Thank you for all the research and hard work!
The uploading speed is crazy, im still making my way thru the anime background art video, keep it up man 🙏
I was looking for something cozy to watch and u dropped at the perfect time OG
I love that you made a point to cut yourself off before going into a 4 hour diatribe as if that’s something we wouldn’t watch. Love your videos man, you always teach something new and I appreciate how much effort clearly goes into these videos, from researching all the way down to editing and performing them. You’re doing great work!
Amazing essay, even as a child I understood that anime was completely different from Disney and cartoon networks shows, which is probably why I watch more anime today than I do western cartoons. Anime is just more gourmet
Homie your fits go insanely hard. Always admiring
I love this video. Thankyou for talking about all this... I was very lucky and i grew up with avatar while it first became a thing.. I remeber being hyped for season 2 while it was airing with my my mom.
Ive also felt touched by the messages and love and connection through this show and others that i also attached to at a young age.. Watching this video really helped me understand how big of a circle ive been in. Thankyou!
This is one of your best fits yet
Yo thank you!
It's literally 6am in my region, i just woke up and saw this in my notif. What a good way to start the day
You should do a western inspired anime video like how Bambi inspired Astro boy, My Hero Academia and western comics, Gunsmith Cats and Cowboy Bebop inspired by western cop action movies or Panty & Stalking inspired by Cartoon Network shows
Basically, if a western animation work is FUCKING AWESOME that means it is clearly influenced by anime
Lmao lowkey that’s kinda true
What anime inspired Primal? Invincible? Arcane? Castlevania?
staying up all night on hoping my parents didn't hear and come turn the TV off, staying up way past my bedtime to experience FLCL in one straight run on Adult Swim is a deep, and cherished memory. I had the Pillows on my MP3 player man. Little Busters is the first riff I learned on Bass, I rewatch it about once a year on my PS2 with a CRT on DVD. I loved all of these shows mentioned, big shoutouts to DBZ, Batman, Teen Titans, Samurai Jack and Avatar too.
...oh god am I a weeb...
I'm so happy you bring up code lyoko! This is my show when it was little, no really talks about it. It was almost like a fever dream❤
Each video of yours proves why you are one of my favorites UA-camrs bro, it's art
factsss
thank you video essay man for explaining why i like things and making this video i was jumping up and down the whole time (i watch hxh, ghibli, avatar and bojack like everyday, i might actually watch the other shows that are as good i already wanted to watch after this hopefully)
God I don’t know how many times I repeated to myself “this mf is so creative” when watching this😂 great video IP🔥
Wasn't expecting Project+ mentioned lol that guy is a real one
I already know this is gonna be a banger
Dude your bumpers in-between commercials is sickkkkk! Please keep doing that adult swim shit.
He don't miss. Always awesome to see how anime that was kinda niche and seen as weird creep into the popular culture, I guess it really was every 90s kid growing up and getting careers animating with their Saturday mornings (and late nights) at the forefront of their minds.
