[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 980824, member: 8461"] Point taken, but I still find it informative in that it clearly lays out a good way of expressing the sentiment enough that it can be debated. Note that I'm not saying I agree with him, since I see some validity in your point below... This is a valid point, in that there are manga-style comics around. The problem though is that this line blurs all too easily. Fred Perry's [I]Gold Digger[/I] comic is done in manga-style now, but what about when it first started (it looked much different then)? What about the webcomic [URL=http://thejar.keenspace.com/d/20020722.html]Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki[/URL], or even just [URL=http://icomix.com/maze/comicpage/index1.html]Irritability[/URL]? "Manga" may have a style to it, but saying that style is distinctive enough that it can be reproduced to the effect that anyone can "draw manga-style comics" is a bold statement to make. You don't seem to take into account that such a show would have had a vastly different style of art and different plot progression if it had been made in Japan for domestic release there. It would have been a Scooby Doo anime. You can't just change the origin and release and not realize that would change the product itself also. That just brings up the same problem though. There is no truly over-arching "style" in anime used in Japan...even moreso than manga. [I]Crayon Shin-chan[/I] looks absolutely nothing like [I]Gundam Wing[/I], but both are undeniably anime.
