You just choose to ignore the argument and argue that anime is technically better and is therefore the better choice. I disagree.
Please quote me where I said that. I NEVER EVER said anime is a better choice for a Mass Effect cartoon. All I said is that anime isn't necessarily a bad choice, unlike some of you might believe. Some of you think that Mass Effect can never be translated to a cool anime that isn't a complete abomination. I disagree and I present The Animatrix as the evidence that it CAN be done.

Not that anime is better, hell it may be, but it has a hell of a lot of differences with western animation that run far deeper than mere lines and dots. The aesthetic draws deep from a pool of philosophies of art and belief just as much as say the abstract movement or the beat poet movement had their own philosphies beneath the basic ingrediants.
Sorry but that just isn't true. Not in the case of anime. I will never deny that Japanese anime series do not contain deep roots in the Japanese culture and their beliefs and philosophies, but the anime style and anime as a medium is NOT based on Japanese philosophies or whatsoever. The anime medium and style originated from economical decisions. Japan was in an economical crisis and the film producers did not have the money for life-action films or fully-animated cartoons, so they introduced anime, a new and cheaper way of creating film and animation.
Anime was (and still is) all about creating film as fast and cheap as possible without losing quality. Anime is all about gaining maximum quality with minimal resources. I already said all this and I won't repeat myself again.
You might say that anime has become a milk-cow since dozens of new anime series get pooped out every year and most of them are cheap and crap and I won't deny this, but there are some really beautiful pieces of art out there between the big pile of junk.

Just because YOU think Anime is better that doesn't mean you can just hammer on that point. It may be better but that doesn't mean its the best form for a Mass Effect story to take.
Again, I did not say that anime is better, all I'm saying that anime and Mass Effect
can work together. Anime and Mass Effect
can match if it's carefully done by the right people.

After all, would Top Cat, Bugs Bunny, the Smurfs and Earthworm Jim have jumped up 50 million points if it was anime style instead?
No. In fact, I'm pretty much against the Japanese anime adaptations of cartoons that where originally created in Europe or the USA. For example, I liked the original Powerpuff Girls (no joke) but they made an anime remake in Japan and it's a huge abomination.
But Mass Effect is different. Mass Effect is not an animation and it's not a cartoon. It's a semi-realistic sci-fi game. The fact that the visual style of Mass Effect are "realistic" and pretty much neutral (it's not typically American, or European, or Japanese, or whatever) means that Mass Effect can go in any direction when adapted into an animated film. Mass Effect is not limited to 1 specific style. The style doesn't matter as long as the aesthetics of Mass Effect are kept in tact.
A western Mass Effect animation could work or it could suck, depending on how they deal with the aesthetics of Mass Effect.
A Japanese anime Mass Effect could work or it could suck, depending on how they deal with the aesthetics of Mass Effect.

To me, only Transformers G1 and Transformers: The Movie is canon. The rest is just a reinterpretation of the Transformers canon. Call me an old stubborn hardhead (I know I am).
