It depends fully on that person. But in my opinion, I think anime as I'm an anime person :D
Explanation:
Hope this explanation helps! :)
Anime differed from standard Western cartoons. Back then anime fans would tell you, Japanese anime is better. Cartoons are "kids' stuff." With complicated stories, deep character development and themes fit for adults, anime eschews the label of cartoon and makes claims on being a *higher art-form*.
Both lead to brainwashing and eventually satanic beliefs but Anime is just a quicker route. Cartoons indoctrinate children into certain beliefs and since the government controls essentially all American broadcasting I wouldn't let either influence me.
