| bonkers555 said: I will be honest here. The poll is very subjective. If we talking for history of gaming then its Japan hands down no question ask. But for some reason a lot of people are soooo fascinated about Japanese that they have loyalty with Japanese products and what come out from it.
For example I got a white friend who LOVE anime and always talk down to about my love for American Comics. Anime and American Comics are completely different but he always compare the two. I personally HATE Anime BTW. |
Most American comics tend to lack the depth of anime, and I would assume that you have been a victim of mainstream anime (DBZ which I myself dislike). Granted I enjoy Wolverine's story as much as Batman (although Bruce Wayne comes off as emo to me at times). The Ghost in the Shell saga is a written masterpiece in itself, although the simpleminded average intelligence person wouldn't be able to understand that one. S-cry-ed is what X-men should have been as far as storyline depth. Superman returning pretty much killed my faith in DC comics. I did like Todd Mcfarlane's direction with Spawn though, it felt original and a breath of fresh air for american comics. The introduction of Venom in Spiderman also added to my interest many years ago.
I am personally a fan of both, but the depth in anime has swayed me to that side. Bleach (manga), S-cry-ed, Saint Seiya, Ghost in the Shell (including S.A.C), Trinity Blood (mainly the novels because the anime was VERY incomplete because the creator died), Bassalisk, Bastard, Trigun, Cowboy Beebop, Outlaw Star, Gundam Wing (along with Endless Waltz), Neon Genesis: Evangeleon (which btw, a US studio owns the rights for the movie and Jerry Bruckheimer and Steven Spielberg have expressed huge interest in working on this movie adaptation). Your "HATE" for anime seems to be stemmed from your closeminded friend dismissing American Comics, but I assure you, if you give the mentioned series a shot, I am very sure you will find a couple you like. Oh and ya, check out Hellsing as well.
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
