What are we discussing? The value of anime and manga as a (somewhat distorted) window to the Japanese culture? Subs vs dubs? Whether or not to flip the images in manga so it reads left to right? Favorite genres of anime/manga? Western comic books vs manga? Western cartoons vs anime? Whether or not American cartoons made in a Japanese style count as anime? The fact that there seems to be a manga/anime based on everything, from the game of Go to making bread to stereotypical fantasy worlds to robots to serious dramas and everything in between?

I think it'd be kind of hard to read... Which reminds me, I spent a good few minutes trying to understand an American comic when I was obsessed with KHR!... Then I realized you read them left to right...

That happened to my wife, too. She would get manga from the library all the time. Then she got a Wonder Woman comic book from the library, and it was hard for her to read, because it went from left to right.

I've never seen or read Bokurano, but I did just look up its Wikipedia article. It looks like something that I would not enjoy.

Agreed, One Piece has to be one of the worst... :\

Pronouns: Well it shouldn't really be that complicated if you go over my post history but then... why are you searching through my post history? Don't you think you are over complicating something as simple as just referring to me? Why are you like this? Is it just out of boredom? Does your religion require it? You could just assume them and skip all this paragraph, don't worry an eldritch horror won't appear out of nowhere to eat you (or me for that matter) if you get this wrong, the worst that can happen is I ignore you and even in that case you can try again! There shouldn't be that many options anyway so if you get it wrong the first time try again and again. Bottom line is: you just lost a bunch of time reading this paragraph for something as trivial as figuring out how to refer to me when you could just have deduced it which should make you think your life choices so far.

One Piece isn't my favorite, but that may be because I was only exposed to the crummy English dub when they tried to put it in the Saturday morning cartoon lineup years and years ago.

And why would I want to read a manga about kids pilot a big machine, using it to fight another big machine, only to die afterward? I mean, yeah, you're doing it to save your reality, but if you win the other reality gets destroyed...

Anyone here seen Noir?
