Its just that the west *Stopped giving a SHIT* about quality due to being strangled by the evangelical fundies around the time of the Seduction of the hayes code. This meant that the west kept being strangled by the right, so the people making it just stopped giving a shit and moved on to phoned in comedies for western animation. Now, in the 80s there was a revival due to merchandising making it lucrative enough Because Ronald reagan deregulated the industry (Being highly anti-regulation of ANY business) which resulted in it being profitable enough for toy companies to put in enough money to make their action cartoons worth a shit while also navigating censorship. Unfortunately, this ended shortly after reagan as regulation began again, as several anti-commercial laws were put into effect preventing advertisements in cartoons past a certain extent and... well, this coupled with the west's constant censorship crashed the action cartoon industry again. Now, there are outliers that managed to beat it: The DCAU is the most notable example. But the west just got MASSIVELY outcompeted by Japanse media where they were able to make plotlines and action cartoons worth a fuck without being strangled by censorship, and so the west basically surrendered to the action niche of animation to the japs and have retreated to phoned in Cheap cal-arts style shit. https://www.awn.com/animationworld/dr-toon-when-reagan-met-optimus-prime ===== rcvrd jan 2021
