I don't think it's fair that some people think that Manga is superior to other forms of graphic novels. I wonder what they would think if an English speaking man wrote a comic in Japan written in Japanese! What could they say then!

But I'm using this as a tool to prove OEL haters and critics to prove that manga are comic book also. I'm telling these people that manga are comic but with their own style. Do you have a ANN (Anime News Network) account? Can you help me with this flame war on OEL Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843524236856099052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470263.post-1153771243340025322006-07-24T16:00:00.000-04:002006-07-24T16:00:00.000-04:00I can only pray for your grandfather's recovery, a...I can only pray for your grandfather's recovery, and hope that he has many more good days than bad.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Melon on one thing.

Just because an American-made title utilizes a similar look or characteristics of Japanese-made anime or manga does not automatically mean that they're trying to "cash in" on a popular trend.<BR/><BR/>It could just be that the artists involved are fans of anime and manga and they - surprise surprise - influence their work.Emperor Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691360567756600406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470263.post-1150925504012891232006-06-21T17:31:00.000-04:002006-06-21T17:31:00.000-04:00I'm glad to hear your grandfather is recovering. ...I'm glad to hear your grandfather is recovering.<BR/><BR/> Now on my statement:<BR/><BR/> Garbage from the Western comics industry is called "comics" because they are all spandex superhero, kiddy junk. "Comics" are, by definition, a product. "Comics" are regulated by soccer moms and Christian fundie nutcases, so as to be all graphics and no story with no character development.<BR/><BR/> Keith Gallistelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667199772928793463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470263.post-1150602497983009602006-06-17T23:48:00.000-04:002006-06-17T23:48:00.000-04:00I'm glad your grandfather is recooperating.

It may take him a couple of weeks but he should feel much better soon.<BR/><BR/>On to the comment:<BR/><BR/>I haven't felt the total wrath of OEL haters in the web communities for published books. The only reason I think people may deter from OEL books is because their jealous. I felt this as well lol.Ellen Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797328221734814597noreply@blogger.com
