lot to talk about manga and anime, that is. Japanese comics and cartoons, so here that I zasolim little more ...
do not know what to say, neither wine, nor the water ... he would say 'as more gemišt ...
while I am on this laprdam, here with the one panel comic "Obatarian" about the life of the average Japanese granny. How strong is the impact comics in this culture will conjure up a bit, and this story. Football, that is to say trivial journalists - a capital whose sideshow in the world, the game for which they are known in South America and go to war, for much of the world's most popular sport ever. And in Japan know about him is long, from the early 20 century, but until the nineties There is no professional league and everything is more or less was based on a voluntary basis and amateurism. The players have worked in companies and gather for training after work or on the weekends as the Faroe Islands or by some outsiders. Not not help that the team won bronze in Olympia di in Mexico.
Then, in early eighties Yoichi Takahashi began to publish your comic on Oozoriju Tsubasa boy who dreams of becoming the best player in Japan - "Captain Tsubasa". In this he helps Roberto Hongo, a Japanese-Brazilian footballer h whose career was interrupted by injuries. This was the beginning not the first, but certainly the most influential series of comic books and cartoons dedicated to football ( first is from 1970. godin also was called no less - "Krvavookih 11").
megapopularnost addition, Japan has grown and awareness of potentials of this sport, the children were more učlanjivala the school's football and the thing started. Now, I'm not so green that I think is a cute comic characters with big eyes and round heads created by J-League, before the pair anyway god Atih in dustrijalaca "find in store when they saw how much of football earns the rest of the world, but he certainly had an impact strip the mass movement and change of consciousness over the Japanese public, which irreversibly poisoned baseball is still the number one sport. When the J-League started the immediately greeted by a stadium full of eager and mass spectacle, certainly a large part a consequence of Captain Tsubasa. Through the years the story of the disappeared tsubasa, appeared when you need it, and started opening the new comic fubdala you on the topic, a list of all the innovative titles - "Forward! Suter (Go! Kickers)," Gori! Best shooter "( Burn! Top striker), free in tomorrow "(Freekick it tomorrow)," Slobodnjak (Freekick) and "Shoot" (Shoot) or "Shoot the blue legend" (Blue Legend Shoot!) not to mention further. Of course, translations are my oil and satisfaction, has in me no more trace of the Balkans who loves to sprda with everything you do not understand, do not hear her or not considered important.
Through "Captain Tsubasa" are threaded, and some characters of flesh and blood, Karl-Heinz Schneider and Brain Cruyfford are definitely the easiest to guess (and Rumenige Krojf), but strained through the pen and the artist Takahashija Maradona, and Skolari peel. Cartoons about Tsubasa has become a popular and much of Asia, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Brazil, and much of Latin America, and inspired by his own admission and Del Pierre, Zidane, Totija, Torres, Vijerija and Nakata. Very end (bad) movie "Shaolin Soccer" when the ball turns into a tiger was taken from Tsubasa ....
And now back to the manga and anime, like everyone in our country, and I grew up reading comics, Zagora, Black and others, so my interest in manga came as a logical continuation of the never finished growing up. Of course, to read Japanese to this day for me, Latin American village, so I had to try variants translated into English. Again the same, selling mix, selling mix lukewarm. They're a gift stripovane version of "Ballad of Genji", allegedly the oldest novel in world literature, which turned out to be serious perversion. Boyfriend the spoiled prince fascinating beauty and fly a bunch of women around her, including his foster mother. Should I continue?
I then as a gift from the same person got a comic book a love triangle between two brothers and another ravine (again, see the glossary of the Sarajevo-Romanija region under the "friend, comrade"). Although you simplified the plot from the last sentence states that you may think that the brothers love the same guy ... disappoint you, is not so, gullies, and one of the brothers are in love with another and it ends with a three-way-incestuous pederlukom harmonious.
cushioning Japan's culture I learned that these two comics from the sub-ž yaoi genre or boizurabu "(the original English" boys love "), intended primarily rebellious girls here call fujoshi - rotten girls. Such a "flattering" the nickname given because they do not want to fit in traditional Japanese society, which they prepared the role of mother and wife eternally loyal employee for a job where her husband d and cares about children, dinner, and how to better fill their empty days but the grapes on homosexual relationships hero comics.
Joking aside, I really did not like any of these, sexual orientation, the hero on the side, too little action, too much reading between the lines, too few red this to something meaningful out of them could read ...
Drawing is another matter, artističan, exquisite to the eye, definitely can not pass, especially if you were in childhood lover Ken Parker, this is about. Often the trains leave for a novel read to him by someone else picks up, so I Ulet and browse through, much of the comic book is just like that.
But has a downside, they are not all comics are bad nor am I serator so much that I do not like anything. Note 2 years ago almost to the Japanese, "Cartoon Network" spins a funny character with a strange mustache and the voice of the Government Kalembera, and me he Bakabon But Papa aka Bakabonov father. Grandma is the worst insult that Japanese have in the arsenal and the means fool, so it's only the name promised. Tensai (genius) Bakabon is in fact the son of the aforementioned mustache who is as small was an extraordinarily bright and deserved to genius in the name, that at some point become a complete idiot, which is about the life story of his father. Cartoon, which, of course, created the comic book was the forerunner of Simpson with which it shares similar plots, only the Bakabon unlike Bart Simpson complete idiot, while Homer and Bakabon no pope breathe each other by the throat by herdsmen pits. As in the Simpsons, the son should be the hero of the series, but his ways are plotted lot, idiot son every now and take away the main role (fools) stars. 
After half a year watching the lethality of the cartoon, Japan's neighbor reveal that these whiskers do not represent a mustache - but the hair from the nose, so sorry this guy got even prettier. Other characters in the series were Bakabon caring mother who, like Marge, stoically endure their stupidity of male animals, somewhat reminds me of the suffering and the role of the Seine from "Do You Remember Dolly Bell" (code ".. Be b andu, meeting. .."); then Hađime-Can, Bakabonov little brother, frantic police officer shooting at each and obsessive compulsive Šušanj neighbors with a broom (always shown as something targets around) ... Bakabon is really funny, more bluntly, this is ćutak of the (drawn) man that we just have to love, I'm sorry you'll just be part of it, but I trust in a certain Mr. Bita Torrent hobotnicolike and his arms, probably will We provide on watching Baki and his return home.
Another unavoidable anime / manga character is Anpanman. He is the bread baked every morning when his good baker, and his buddies, order various pastries and cakes, which then go through various adventures. Sounds normal to the first moment, but Japan would not be what it is that not all spices a pinch of morbidity. When one of his friends in trouble, Apanman Tear off a piece of your head and him to eat and so regain strength and get out of the Belaya and then Anpanman walk around with a head that missing piece. He will be again tomorrow anyway baker to bake the whole ...
Anpanman mention since, upon arrival here, thought that ruddy-rounded character can not be worse than it is. Somewhat unimaginatively drawn, the story in our opinion, somewhat limited, and everything somehow breaches and amateur. But we should not underestimate the impact of consumer society, Anpanman is all around us. Sometimes I think that there is no item in this country, and that somewhere on the internet you can buy a version with his image. You'd be surprised. And when you constantly when the eyes, no matter how bad, primitive, unhealthy, it will be popular. Just look at Coca Cola, we all know that is unhealthy, that it does not have anything that we could use a bare except sugar, and yet the soft drink number one in the world, thanks to its ubiquitous marketing and advertising in all possible ways, and sometimes impossible.
conclusion, so I do not know, and I have divided opinions on the one hand, we are the serious comics do not like, I think it is too passive and oriented to the picture in favor of action, on the other hand, has and examples that prove the contrary. As with everything, I will not draw generalized conclusions and say that we should not, when I looked up and said the opposite. Let the beauty remains in the eye of the beholder, if the audience likes it interesting manga, great, enjoy! If not, you can always go back to the unbearable Alan Ford (as I do) and enjoy the ninth art. Similar to the anime, we may be fond of this or not, but one thing is certain - it is different. Round head and big eyes, perhaps drawn too childish, perhaps, but never mind, refreshing compared to everything else that we largely comes from neinventivnih American Studies ...
Finally, We grew up watching "Maya Maya", which is a Japanese product, which few people know, only the original German book ..
Life in Tokyo, Japan!
