It's a silly argument of semantics whether or not you want to call it cartoons or anime. They're the same exact damn thing.

Perhaps, but Tv Tropes lists Avatar: The Last Airbender tropes under Western Animation, so I'm kind of hard-wired into thinking like that.

While yes, anime is just cartoons, the main difference essentially is just that anime is from Japan. That simple.

Avatar is just a cartoon because it was made in a western country.
As weird as it is to say this, Panty and Stocking is anime because it is made in Japan.

I'm fine with people categorizing them under different names simply to differentiate between the cultural influences that affect their content and production, but I hate when people act as if they're totally different genres. I'll equate them to how we're all humans, though I'm an American and someone else may be, say, Norwegian - we're different, yes, but it's not as stark of a contrast as I am to, say, a dolphin (I'm way prettier).

I think I've got a solution...

Avatar = American Anime
Panty & Stocking = Japanese Cartoon

Problem solved, everyone move along now.
Waiting on a good new MOBA, please.

IT'S MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORNING!

Anyway...

"Little Busters!" and "Little Busters! Refrain" were both produced by the ever so famous Key studios, which wrote produced highly acclaimed, and in the case of "Clannad: After Story", some times overrated anime series. However, all of Key's previous works were animated by Kyoto Animation, where as the newest entry from Key's franchise into an animated form is developed by the somewhat hated J.C Staff. Did they do a good job?

Probably.

You see, "Little Busters!" was hated on, but it was hated on predominately because it (apparently) did not follow the VN too closely. This caused the fans of the VN be disappointed, and out came the biased reviews which eventually meant that "Little Busters!"was regarded as an outcast, the failure of a son that failed to live up to the same level that the high school jock, straight aces student that "Clannad" and "Clannad: After Story" was. You see, all this bad reception eventually led to me going into "Little Busters! with low expectations.


So far, I think Little Busters might actually beat Clannad and Clannad After Stories. So far, it's been better than I expected. AIR was my least favorite work by Key, while it was pretty good, it didn't really hold a candle to Angel Beats, or Clannad and Clannad After Stories, and I can already tell I like Kanon and Little Busters better than AIR for sure.
But who knows, Clannad After Stories was REALLY good, so it'll be close.

Nagi no Asukara (A Lull in the Sea) has some of the best character progression/development I've ever seen.

It's still airing so I don't know how it turns out yet, but I can tell the drama is going to get strange considering the
midway point pretty major spoiler

God, first 15 seconds of Seitokai Yakuindomo 2, and we already have a sexual innuendo.

Oh Seitokai Yakuindomo, how I love you...

Lol, I remember it actually being pretty entertaining when I watched in a while back. Seems like it'd right up your ally, and I recommend you watch Nagi no Asukara (A Lull in the Sea) afterwards.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
