There's no contest. American animation is horrible. Look what we have to show for ourselves lately:

It's not only the fact that the animation quality itself is awful, which it is, it's also that the shows are just stupid and unimaginative. Toy commercials for idiots.
And those that aren't (poorly) hand-drawn cels are usually shitty CG.

They try to rip-off and add an Anime style to their shitty writing and drafting!
That's not to say all Japanese cartoons are good either. Dragonball is the worst of the bunch, crappy animation coupled with terrible writing and the least-imaginative, most-repetitive story ideas ever, and I recently had the displeasure of sitting through an airing of Gundam SD, which made me dry heave at least four times.
