Actually, Japan churns out a mixed bag of anime - on one hand they produce the most intelligent cartoons around (Serial Experiments Lain, or the Ghost in the Shell movies and series, for example). On the other hand they do also churn out some that aren't so much "stupid" as just plain incomprehensible (and I don't mean because of the language. I just don't understand what the heck is going on in them) - though most of those ones are there to support toy lines like Beyblade or Yu-Gi-Oh or something.
Plus the more mature japanese cartoons you usually see on TV are either hacked to bits for the american audience (because western TV executives still think that cartoons are only for kids) or horribly dubbed into English.
meh. i just dont like how unrealistic the cartoons are.
