Anime Class 5 Manga Romance week Manga and government  Questions on weather Manga is good. Concern by parents on the effect of cartoons. At first there was “good” war propaganda. Then there was fear of what kids take in.  Similar to the ideas in America that cartoons and comics have a bad effect on youth. Every time there is a new media to children, parents have a meltdown.  Most Japanese companies have lineages and kinships.

They have magazines for every age so you never grow out of them; instead you just grow into the next issue.  Early 20 th century they nationalized the language.

Some of the younger generation had met him.              Gegika originates around the same time as underground comics.              Sameri genre- lone wolf and cub (Mandalorin is pulled straight from this story.)                         A lot of Star Wars stretches from anime. Fortress is the first samurai manga, Curtisawa is the maker.                           Case study; I saw it, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. By Nakazawa 3 q             Differences in art style, did the color help with the storytelling.              The perspective of the other side of the war, how did this effect the differences in the Japanese side differ from the American side.              Family at the core, and the effect Tezuca had on him             Do you think that the story would be as strong if it was written and illustrated by someone who just heard
