Playstation...The trojan horse for mangaanime in the west.....?

Oh I've heard it all now...What are you even talking about BT.

Mega Lulz!

 

I agree. The rise of the manga/anime culture came because of the success of Dragonball and that was before the Playstation ever existed and it wasn't caused by video games at all.

 

 I still think there's a link in there somewhere.  Certain videogame magazines for example that have supported games like the jrpgs the most have also been cheaper alternatives to some of the glossier anime / manga magazines, and I think they have created a link between Japanese games, anime, and manga (not so much music for some reason because I don't remember ever hearing of a J-pop song becoming a Top 40 song in the US).

It would actually be in Japanese companies best interest to support the 360 much more than PS3, but I don't really think most Japanese companies or Japanese people see things that way.



Heavens to Murgatoids.
