Well the manga I doubt was edited.

They butcher the living daylights out of every anime that is previewed on TV, wether on the Cartoon Network or Fox Kids, ect You name it, they edited it. So no doubt the original anime was very much the same. Thats why I never watch anime on TV...only original uncut and/or fansubs...

I mean, remember the stink when they slaughtered Cardcaptor Sakura to the point there they just simply renamed it because it wasnt nearly like the original anime anymore? All because they wanted it to fit in the mainstream yu-gi-puke fad? It ticked a LOT of people off...almost to the point of boycott. They took a shojo relationship-heavy sentimental adventure anime and turned it into a cheesy pokemon-style shonen anction show....they EVEN CHANGED THE MAIN CHARACTER to suit a different target audience....jeez....talk about taking it too far....

I hate anime. There is those mean racists that wears white hats are shows meaningless hatred towards black persons, they're a group of person hating a certain object/person. my hate towards a certain object ( anime ) is higher than those mans i previously named. i mean, why deformating persons, i found that an attempt to destroy the human values by some extradimensionnal entities with a brain scheme made to destroy any values and priorities of encountered races.

Deforming? No...thats how the Japanese draw themselves...its the same way, say, with Dexters Laberatory or the Powerpuff Girls in American cartoons...do they look real? No, thats just how Americans draw cartoons.

I dunnno...havent seen much history of Asians in white hats supressing the "black peoples" as you say, nor how Anime could be interpreted as such. No more then Hollywood does, I suppose...since the only difference between Anime and Hollywood is that one is animated.

But once again, you have shown your mental capacity toward understanding things of other cultures...which is no suprise condiering ignorant rhetoric we've seen from you before...go read a book or something and expand your mind...

That's it, Wormskull. You've gone too far into what you call culturist (probably original :roll: ) There are some who like anime and those who don't. And no it's not us that are being racist; it's you basically. You're offending the fact that I'm completely Asian. Next time beware when you come in Hawaii. Say out loud that you hate the Japanese and that you hate anime, and you'll get a beating. Didn't take it serious? Well it won't be you laughing.

That mainly depends on the character designer. Some focus on realistic characteratures while others exaggerate...but again, thats just how they draw themselves. The Japanese has always put extra emphesis on the eyes because they believe that they are the most expressive part of the body. Thats why the eyes are usually large. In the less-realistic styles, when you see someone with yellow hair...its yellow, not blonde...stuff like often throws people off...like the same way blue or purple hair is realistic...just more exaggeration.

If you watch more anime like Jin Roh or Perfect Blue, you'll get character designs more characteristic toward asians. But thats the glory of anime...variety.

You may think that anime-style may not resemble the asian race, but then again I don't think Johnny Bravo or Dexter really resembles the anglo race, either...thats just how exaggeration in cartoons work.

Not necessarily. Go to Tokyo and you'll actually see not all Japanese are that dark. Just because they live in Asia doesn't mean everyone will be tanned. And if your wondering about me I pretty much have much darker skin since I live in Hawaii. :wink:

i always considered asians 2 be the brightest, cept them on greenland(yes greenlandish ppl r asian) n.y. ways, the topic shud be MANGA/anime Cos Manga came b4 anime, that's why i liked it better, cept 1 weird thing.

IN YUGI OH the book, the drawings is really bad, and there's none of those cool beasts(i've only read the first book) but in the cartoon(on TV) it's really nice and drawn cool.

1 more thing, is it me, or is many of the mangas/animes just made 4 selling? like yu gi oh, is about cards, then sell the cards, and sum other y-gi-oh ripfoff, and beyblade, and pokemon, and digimon, they're all really good(I LOVE YOU POKEMON, YOU GAVE ME MY SKILLS(so i'm not completly skill less)) But everything seems 2 be selling??

Remember, such anime that you mentioned is made for the younger audience. I don't think all of them were necessarily made for selling. But yet the companies always have their way to get the younger audience to buy them all.(Sorry for the cheap catchphrase.)
