Totally agree with you there about American styled animation. I don't know if an American style "Adult" anime would work. Two reasons on why. First, very large percentage of Americans think Animation is for children. They think Anime as digmon, pokemon and etc and big breasted girls & big robots with huge guns (for geeks and pervs). Second, if you put "Adult themed" on an American style animation flick, very large percentage of Americans would think it will be XXX rated. Most Americans are that ingornant. Granted some American styled anime are good, such as "Sinbad", "The Prince of Eygpt", "Watership Down" etc. But most animated flicks in America are aimed at kids.
