Japanese VS. American Storytelling: What Each Does Better Than The Other

The title–which could seriously be reworked–kind of says it all. Despite the concept being somewhat shallow, it would be fairly interesting to see someone tackle this topic and go as in-depth as they can with it. Purely examining Japanese media–such as anime, cinema, television shows in general–and American media–cartoons, cinema, and, again, television shows in general–it appears that each culture brings something unique to the table. But what is that unique thing/things? Is one truly better than the other? And how do you define better? Clearer, more concise themes? More universality and acceptance by a broader audience? These are aspects of both entertainment cultures that could be seriously explored and exhausted in a well-written article.
