I know it's massive there, but wondered whether the Japanese wanted to appeal to the Western market all the same. I mean, think of the profit potential.

Ah, right to left! That clears up that confusion. Mind you, I've become uneasy about looking for mangas. I went looking searching through the Internet, and eventually turned up a complete manga - something called "Gravitation Remix." What the hell was going on there? :eek:

Why don't they show Anime more over here? Why isn't there a channel on Sky or something - if it consumes Japanese culture so much, why aren't we a little more receptive to it over here, uncultured fools that we are? (I bet there is one, and I've just missed it all this time:rolleyes: ).


I'm surprised actually that we don't have an anime channel! I suppose there are lots of anime style cartoons around...

Mostly there is still a misconception in the west that anime is for children and anything else in hentai. Since most people will think of anime in terms of pokemon or yu gi oh, they wouldn't consider watching a TV channel full of anime.

I've watched Steamboy, and it wasn't as good as I expected. The storyline was a bit weak and confusing in my opinion.

i have those last 2 :smile: love castlevania:biggrin:
Lost in Blue is excellent, but it was discontinued for some reason. You can only get it pre-owned in most places now, it took me ages to find it :frown:

Did you complete Another Code?
