Oh God, what have done! seriously thought, I can understand being weary when something like that is happens.
actually, from a artistic sense, they're the same art style. It just that manga are japanese comics read left to right and are collected in paperback books called tankobon that usually has a collection of 10 to 12 chapter of a series. Imigine if you will, 10 to 12 issues of Amazing Spiderman collected in a paperback book, usally for a price around $9.99. Anime is a style of animation that deploys realism, much like cartoon is a style of animation. even thought anime and manga originated in Japan and is mostly made there, anime and manga can be made anywhere in the world. I talk more about in the first Anime SHAFT episode since that is the subject of the episode. Actually, did you know that one of the biggest influences in the creation of manga and anime in the late 50's and early 60's was Walt Disney cartoons and animated features. As for anime that I would recommend, as I said in another thread, anything involveing the Gundam franchise, but especially the last three series, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, and Gundam 00 which in fore mentioned thread is showing on SciFi at 11 P.M. on Monday nights. Cowboy Bebop is an space western that was an international hit around 2000, along with Outlaw Star which is also can be considered a space western and both have great story. Full Metal Achemist has a terrific plot and was the hit anime of 2004. Bio-Booster Armor Guyver is a classic that I think everyone has to check out. I suggest both the original 12 episode 1992 series or the new 26 episode 2006 series. In the family friend section, I would suggest Kaleido Star which is about a 14 year old girl that is trying to make it in a circus du sol type circus and has a great story that I believe everyone of any age of gender can enjoy. For you older perverts, Golden Boy is an perveted comedy that I garuntee will have you falling of your couch in laughter. And finally, I suggest the Manga "Magister Magi Negima". It about a 10-year old magican that become an english teacher in japan at an all girl middle school as he serches for his father. with 20 volumes out, I have been reading this since the Del Ray introduce it in the fall of 2004 and I find it the best series out today. It has a pefect blend of both harem and action/adventure elements from it writer Ken Akamatsu. I'm suggesting the manga becuase I find that that first anime series which came out didn't do it justice. You can find any of these anime on Netflix and most library have a decent collection of manga. You should alway try to explore and find what you like. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
