You are answering all the posts......thanks 
girl!! (NOT being sarcastic) I was at school all 
day and haven't gotten around to postiing today. 
Arigatou!

Anyways.....I swear we are never going to agree 
on this subject. You are for the CG and I am not 
really, to a certain extent. And it doesn't seem 
neither of us are going to budge from our 
beliefs. We are both pretty stubborn, huh? LOL

To comment on your first paragraph on the topic 
of digital art a lesser art form.....artists in 
general who are not animators think animation is 
a less art form. All of it, not just CG art. They 
believe that CG is "cheating" n some way. People 
have told me this to my face about my animation 
artwork a lot when I was turning in portfolios 
and such. Mouse I am sure you have experienced 
this along the road at some point, right? I hope 
you didn't miss understand me......I am not one 
of those people that is against CG entirely, but 
I just have so issues with how it is used and 
presented. You also stated something in that 
paragraph about it taking longer to make 
drawings. Well, that's true and not true....we 
have already stated why. On the computer it does 
take longer to control b/c drawing on the 
computer is not as natural as drawing in your 
sketchpad. But anyday I would take drawing in my 
sketchpad over doing CG drawings. That is just I 
enjoy doing my artwork...and I am not saying the 
other way isn't good for some people. 

Watase in CG.... I still don't see it at all. Not 
hapening in my eyes.

You stated, 
"Most animators are more interested in creating a 
story and visuals as a whole.. I think the means 
by which they get to their destination is not 
important." I sorta agree with you here....kinda. 
The storyline is very important in an animation, 
I mena you wouldn't have the animation without 
it. However, the reason I want to become an 
animator is draw my characters hand-drawn. There 
is just something about I did this with my own 
two hands, instead of the computer having a list 
of colors for me to choose from. I would rather 
mix the colors myself....do an animated drawing 
in watercolor etc. Sorry I am getting a little 
off track here. Anyways, some aniamtors might 
prefer to work in cel animation than CG and visa-
versa.  

Its just sad to see something not continue on. I 
guess nothing can live forever, huh? BUt still it 
would be nice for some new shows once in awhile 
stick to the old cel animation. That would bring 
me some smiles.

Mouse I want you to know no hard feelings on our 
difference or anything, okay!?!
