it wasn't the jams it was the yanks, homosexual
They were written and directed by the yanks and animated by the jams. Look it up.
The british did it too.
i'm gonna call the japs jams now on
They only used Jap animators for episodes (and occasionally individual scenes) the dirt cheap SEAmonkey asiatics couldn’t handle. I think there were Batman eps done by Akom which was notoriously the shittiest animation studio in existence.
alot of "western" cartoons where animated in japan but i cant really say they has art direction and style comparable to BTAS
It's funny cause when B: TAS animation was bad it was really bad.
Pick pretty much any high quality animation made in the 90s and probably 90% was animated in Japan. The bubble popping meant that outsourcing to Japan was cheaper to western companies, and competing for western contracts was more lucrative for Japanese companies. It was to the point that actual domestic Japanese shows were outsourced to Korea because all the top Japanese studios were working on western projects.
Was looney tunes like the last really well animated show that was animated by westerners?
Also its kind of weird that these shows were done by the best japanese studios, but they didn't look that good. A lot of anime looked better.
Lol, like what, DBZ?
evangelion definitely had more detail
Character/vehicle/background design isn't animation.
Literally all I wanted was to know more good quality cartoons from the 90s. I didn't want to argue logistics.
But logistics are part of it. Evangelion looks better to you because the character designers/art directors chose to make more detailed character models. But that also means they have to keep intensive animation limited for budget.
The JP studios don't make decisions on character models given to them by western studios. It's a job for them, if you give them stick figures they'll draw stick figures.
Western studios choose to give them character designs/storyboards with less detailed characters because they can stretch the animation budget. Art direction also plays a role in it. JP storyboarders often make up for the lack in animation in a scene by choosing to use more interesting angles to keep the image interesting.

Gimme that full song, you bastards. It's been just shy of twenty five years.
Gargoyles, although it was partially animated in Korea as well.
Where was Spiderman TAS animated? also the animation, or rather, the editing was ASS, like what the frick was up with it? seriously.
And also, i believe that trite about ''we were not being censored more than other cartoons, guys'', smells like PR bullshit, like something unimaginative that came from someone who didn't even bother to look it up.

Nah, Semper just lives in his own world. He said that long after the show ended and wasn't shy about saying how the Studio annoyed him, particularly over the Hobgoblin.

They decided to make the pacing accurate to the comics, simple as that.
What the show runner said was that they got censored more because Fox had gotten stricter after Power Rangers, not that they got the same censorship as other cartoons.
Here’s Bruce Timm’s joke/quiz for storyboard artists to see if they could find everything BS&P would object to. BTAS got away with a lot because their first season was made in one go, before Fox started cracking down

BS&P has fricking bizarre standards, different censors have different standards so certain shows get more fricked in places than others. Reboot aired on ABC at the same time Gargoyles did, with Demona walking around in literal scraps of clothing, and Reboot was chided for Dot's individual breasts being "too erotic" and turned into a single boob bump. Other shoes would have kissing but they called dot kissing Enzo, her little brother, on his birthday, "incestuous".
Toei also animated the first five episodes of the TMNT and they're the only thing most boomers remember the show to look like.
holy frick it cost 2 million in 87 for only 5 episodes
that means each episode cost $400,000. Holy shit
The show at the time was the only form of marketing the merchandise had at the time. It was a risk they got rewarded on big time.
sakuga is not the same as quality.
