Sometimes, I like to imagine that a group of snooty animation purists infiltrated the cartoon industry of the late 90's in order to destroy from the inside out, only to be horrified when anime stepped in to fill the void.
I like to imagine that, and laugh at the looks on their faces.
God, it's the horrible character design of anime combined with the horrible animation of American cartoons finished out with the horrible dialogue and uncomfortable jokes of a bad sitcom.
