Manga/Anime/Japan, Anyone?
Just guessing, but it looks as if this topic is ready to stand on its own. If so, here’s the place to post.

I love anything to do with Japan, so if it’s there I probably like it.
Escpecially the Meiji Restoration.
I’ve been2 Japan. The food is great. Especially the rice. n_n
You can see lots of great anime, the only problem is it’s in japanese.
My friend pipS says Naruto 7 is coming out. AND I HAVE 2 WAIT 1 YEAR 2 READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!x_X Does anyone like Fullmetal Alchemist? There’s a great sight at groups.msn.com/FullMetalAlchemist/fullmetalalchemistmanga.mshw
Poke’mon is a shame 2 the animeworld.
I think i’m getting alittle 2 old 4 Sailormoon.
OUR LIBRARY HAS NARUTO 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!O_o
I have never been to Japan, but I have lived in other interesting places. Tell, please, the attraction if Manga and Anime over other forms of art?
Oh boy I’ve been waiting a *long* time to do this. :is gleeful:
While anime/manga may seem childish/simple on the surface, they are actuallyvery broad in their appeal. Let me make it clear: The anime you see on Cartoon Network are by no means the only types out there. What is screened on American television is usually “shonen” or series based around what is thought generally appeals to boys. Like my fellow anime fans (or otaku, you choose ^-^) I have several reasons for likeing Japanese animation/comics. Here are the basics.
1) The shows have deeper and more complex story lines that are rarely to be found in American cartoons. The object of anime is not to divert your attention for increments of fifteen minutes or so, but to entertain you with an ongoing story.
Examples of issues dealt with: Betrayal, revenge, death. love. Watch any episode of Full Metal Alchemist and you’ll see frustration, pain, or any other variety of emotions. You can’t find that in an episode of “The Fairly Oddparents”
2) The animation is just done so much better. The perspective, the backrounds, and yes, the (in)famous anime eyes all add to an already detailed tapestry. I might also point out that not all anime characters have Sailor Moon eyes, which are characteristic of “Shojo” manga. “Shojo” means based around things thought to appeal to girls. (Mostly romantic plots.)
I really could go on and on. Basicly, I love anime because it means something. It’s so much more imaginative and original than any other form of animation available. If you have any questions, I can describe to you an anime plot in
detail* Sorry got cut off. And yes ChinTsu, I loffle FMA and Naruto. And not jut because of Ed. :cough:
Um… Axa… whoa… I don’t watch TV, so I see what youre talking about in books. Maybe I’ll try it, but I’m just more comfortable with the “complex plots” you were talking about in literature, not pictures on a screen.
AXa-U don’t love Naruto just because of Sasuke do u?
Ha sorry, I kind of went overboard there. O.o But I’m fine with whatever anyone wants to like/watch/read so I won’t try to force anything on you.
:psst ChinTsu. Two words. Kakashi-sensei.:
really?
O_o
Yu know it would be really cool if we had a fanart page.
n_n
Heehee I know! But me drawing skills are non existant! :Uses alchemy to improve drawings:
Feh, have you *seen* ANBU Kakashi? Bwaaaaahhha!! :notices strange looks: Um yeah. ^-^;;
i can kinda draw, but it’s mostly fashion designing………… fun though, & sumtimes kinda pretty, if u don’t mind it a little bit unrealistic
Oooo! I can draw! and in realistic forms not cartoons. And NOT anime!
of course u can’t draw anime it moves!
I draw really bad manga but i still think a fanart page would be cool. Everybody who has a scanner can send al their art 2 be posted.
n_n
Axa no offense but Kakashi is like 60.
So kil me. X_x
No than was not morbid in disguise. I killed her/him remember?
:sniffle: He’s 26! :sniff: Ahh my friend can draw manga-ish so well! It’s crazy! She can do all this awesome stuff in like three minutes… :attempts to scan bad art: Wow…my scanner just combusted there…O.o
All (comment 11),
If you’ll draw decent manga Muses, I’ll post them. They have to be good ones, though. I don’t want Larry Gonick to stop talking to me.
–R.C.
Bwahaha yes :evil cackle: I think Urania would be easiest to do..Koko is too brilliant to capture in art form and I can’t draw cows without them looking like sausages with heads. Sorry Bo!
Y limit it 2 Muses?
If i’m going 2 post, what is the museblog’s email address? u can’t attach files 2 comments.
26! Really? Then he has a serious case of premature gray hair.
hehe n_n
ooooooopsie
Could some one tell me how 2 itallisize one word in html?
:-/
Hahaha I know where that plushie is…yes I do. :goes to buy:
I drew Urania, although it’s extremely ugly and disproportionate! I spelled that wrong! Yay!
Kakashi’s had gray hair since forever.He was a chunin at six, isn’t that crazy? 0.o
ChinTsu (21) —
You can send e-mail with attachments to webmaster@musefanpage.com. Just Muse-related art, please. This isn’t KakashiBlog.
–R.C.
word
Just take out all the spaces and you’ll have
word
It didn’t work… okay, just do (i)word(/i) with instead of ( and )
I’m having problems today… use the carrots instead of parenthases
I like Pita-Ten. Read it. It’s awesome!
I drew all the Muses once… still have the pictures. I guess they came out ok, but I really don’t like to show my “artwork” (which mainly consists of copying the covers of video game boxes when it comes to manga).
I drew a disproportional picture of Aeiou and a will improve it later.
If Koko is a cartoon, is he sort of like a spirit? ‘Cause then i could let him possess me and throw my ninja pies o so much better.
Axa-0.0 where did u learn this?
yadda yadda yadda
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT WWWWWWORRKKKKKED!!!!!!!!!
D_Q i promise never 2 throw a pie at u.
I learned it in the hole in the internet that is the anime fandom…actually from fanfiction reviews. I loff my little face things. ^-^
:sqees: I HAVE THE FIRST NARUTO MOVIE! :gleeee happy!:
The translation in the subtitles is terrible, seeing as how it went from Japanese to Chinese to English, but still! I finally bought it! I’ve seen it before too, but MEH! :is hyper:
I’m glad it’s not dubbed. The American voices can bug me. Sometimes. :hugs Inoue Kazuhiko-sama!:
By the way ChinTsu… I’m a girl. I kinda thought it was obvious.
Fanart would be fun. Although I’m afraid I take forever to draw half decent manga. I was bored one day and I tried to see if I could draw from the book beside me, and it took five minutes to get the eye right. But assume of course, that regular art is welcome.
I have always wanted to do Urania realistic.
Yes, fanart of any type is welcome.
A realistic Urania would be worth seeing. In fact, we thought about commissioning a romantic-realistic painting for the cover of the Lord of the Rings issue, showing the Muses as their “Lard of the Rings” characters, but we opted for the hobbit-hole interior instead. That’s still the prettiest cover Muse has ever done, I think.
That rocks most completely.
Axa i am so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pipS will be jealous 2
I saw naruto in japanese with pipS (no subtitles in was taped in japan)
Naruto calls this girl fool of all fools more or less ^_^
CHINTSU!!!! ACK! :calms down: Have you seen the Naruto commercials on Cartoon Netowrk? Bleh, they said nenjutsu instead of ninjutsu, but whatever.
I’m concerned about the voices they’ll be using, but I plan on buying the DVDs and just watching the sub, so fie on you Cartoon Network! :throws pie:
I don’t understand when they say “rule the school” in the commercial, Naruto wants to become Hakage, not rule the school… :coughs:
Hokage*, spelled that wrong, hehe… :loves Yondaime:
Hey, ChinTsu! The manga section is over here!
I hope everyone is aware that at nine o’ clock pm Naruto is showing on Cartoon Network. If it’s terrible beyond all belief, it’s because
1) Americans can’t dub for their lives,
and /or
2) The first few chapters, episodes aren’t that great. Not until Kakashi comes in…mwahahaha….
no CLUE what everyone is talking about.
XD Sorry if I’m confusing. I’m a confusing person.
I loved the dub though, it was done a lot better than I thought it would be.
why did you call me XD? there is no ‘D’ in ‘Phoenix’. And it’s not that YOU are confusing, Axa, just I don’t know what all this Manga stuff is.
all bishbush bala’bush to me.
Here is something funny:
my former Chumash teacher, Mora Glaser, sometimes talks Hebrew stam in the middle of the sentance (like what just did). Once we were all acting up, and she told us to “dye cvar!”
anyway, dye cvar means enough already in Hebrew, but we thought she was telling us to die already! it was really funny once we figured it out, though.
XD is a smily face
“XD” Is an internet smiley thing. Look at it side ways, and it’s supposed to resemble a laughing person. I use those too much.
Heehee. that’s funny! My teachers are all boring.
I knew a transfer student from Japan that would tell the teacher to die in Japanese when he left for the day though.
Oh. Sorry. Thought you were talking to me.
WHOA, FUNKY! All ’bout manga, Japan, ANIME!!!! I LOVE IT! *demonic laughter*
NARUTO ROCKS OUT LOUD!!!!!! WHO EVER LIKES NARUTO SAY I!
I LUV ANIME!!! ESPECIALLY NARUTO!
-corrals all to new thread-
hey, I’m someone from China. My Mom and I moved there from Canada. I’ve been to Japan ^_^. There’s lots of anmie all around. Thats where i learned to draw it all. I have a website about it…only if I knew what it was called again I would give it to you!
Welcome, Kandy! You’ve certainly had an interesting life so far.
helle i’m Frecnh ! i love Mangas Naruto and GTO My adress msn is [deleted by Administrator — sorry] ++ biz
Yes, I have found the manga thread, and I intend to make it powerful once more! Thank you, GAPA!
Has anyone here heard about Mia Ikumi? She does the Tokyo Mew Mew books, which full on rock!
Otaku rock! Especially foreign otaku, who don’t get enough credit at all. We love otaku!
My favorite animanga at the moment is Megatokyo. But I also like classics, like Socrates in Love and Studio Ghibli stuff. And Nadesico. Science-fiction manga is wonderful. Mm mm. Mia Ikumi is good, but not as good as some other people. Tokyo Mew Mew is really not my thing.
I read Socrates in Love, that was really good, despite the fact I had to read it on one of those dinky stools Borders has.
I haven’t read much lately, but one of my firiends has been borrowing Gravitation from another friend…
Real otaku understand what I’m inferring here. It’s hilaroius to read. No offense meant.
But things I actually read? Hmm, Naruto is…eh now. I maintain the only good arc was Kakashi Gaiden, and the big Sasuke and Naruto fight.
…But back on topic, Megatokyo is t3h r0x0rs, and I hope that made sense.
I read Socrates in love awhile ago. It was good but it made me sad. I guess that was part of the point of the story, though.
Megatokyo! I’ve only read the first printed volume, but one of these days I’ll get around to reading the rest of it.
As for Naruto on Cartoon Network…*shudder*…I can’t even bring myself to talk about it. Why, why, WHY does Shonen Jump insist on giving its anime series to cartoon network and other similar stations, knowing the english versions will be cut and dubbed beyond recognition??? Maybe if they would actually make an effort to leave the series in tact the rate of questionable internet anime downloads would go down.
Yeah, the Naruto dub’s not great, but that horrible excuse for a translation Shonen Jump puts out is disgusting. It’s Gai, not Guy, thanks. I can’t even read it. When the manga is edited, you know something’s wrong. No one says “blast”, okay, no one. They are SO far behind, too. Japan’s on chapter..oh…303? And we’re on what, 60? =_= I hate Shonen Jump America.
Just be grateful 4Kids didn’t get the license. -shudder- We’ve seen the evil they rain- think One Piece.
Poor Usopp.
