Whew, good thing it wasn't a suicide, Jehuty. It would have taken you at least twice as long to come back.
I agree with Lazlo about the animation. Both Japanese and American have many different types, but I'd say most (of course not all) Japanese art is all in one style, with variations to it, while in America there are many styles, each also with their own variations. There are staples of anime, such as the eyes (if not in the males, 98% of the time in the females), but in America you can't find much common ground. Not that it really matters, we each enjoy animation for many reasons, including how its drawn, and we're each entitled to our own preferences. ...I hope.
