I have a friend named Jenny who reads this blog (please comment, Jenny.), and she really loves anime and manga. Did I type that right? Do they have to have capital letters? Anyway, she loves them so much that she can speak a little bit of Japanese ( from watching lots of anime) and can draw Manga really well ( from reading lots of Manga). So I thought I would write a blog about them. First of all, let it be established that I don't hate Anime. Not all of them. Just the bad ones with horrible back-stories and bad animation. Granted, most anime are badly animated ( no offense ), but people watch it for the stories and illustrations. Animation is a minor detail, even though it is a part of their name. Manga, on the other hand, is my favorite type of comic. Now some devout Manga readers might argue that it's not a comic. It's art. Well, I prefer to leave my opinion about that unspoken. Not to say that I don't agree, of course. Anyway, the reason I love it so much is because it's usually very fun and awesomely illustrated ( awesomely? Is that a word? Well, no squiggly red line, so..). My all-time favorite is The Glass Mask. It's a classic. I think the Japanese are really great at many stuff, including art, technology, cuisine, and of course stuff that includes..um..ugh, brain-block...ORDER? Sorry, that was the best word I could come up with at the time. Anyway, the Japanese have a lot of 'fortes', but unfortunately animation isn't one of them. This is just my opinion.Bottom line, though: Anime and Manga are very popular, and people who like them are not 'nerdy', but COOL!! ( I had to put that in. I meant it, though) So shout-out to all you anime and Manga lovers, please leave a comment about what your favorite anime and Manga is! If you tell me about it and I like it, maybe I'll even try watching or reading it and give feedback later on! Thanks and see you again soon!
P.S. Sorry for not blogging for so long. So much homework.
