Actually, its funny you should say that...Tho when it comes to PBS and Masterpiece Theatre, I kinda have to disagree on you there. As a person who appreciates film, I have to know my subject and know it well, including film history and all the different films. I did go to a film school for like three months(ran out of funds,lol) and so we study a lot. One film we looked at was Deep Throat and the impact it had on pop culture and both the film and porn industry. Like Debbi Does Dallas, it was part of pop culture at the time.

I'm not big on porn, I don't watch it. But I do and did know of these type of movies before. Sometimes, I guess a movies does have to call for nudity...I mean to be real, and getting back to where I was going with my point, when one watches a soap opera and the couple make love, the phone rings and they're fully dress in PJs?! really? they made love with they're pjs on!? So yeah, plus in Europe nudity isn't that big of an issue so of course programs like Masterpiece Theatre are gonna have it.

I'm not big on nudity but if a show or movie I like has it, oh well, I can get past it.

Sorry, lost my train of thought, sorry about all that, Where I live its a big liberal place ,so we have three local free speech channels, and one was talking about local strippers and prostitutes becoming unionize, so this program had a lot of nudity and this was like 3pm! So yeah go figure...We can't a woman's nipple for three seconds on the Superbowl, yet show commercials about ED!? Yeah gotta love the FCC.
You don't see yourself clearly at all. You're not like anyone I've ever known. You Fascinate me.

See how US comanies treat licensed anime here or here. *smiles evilly* :gg:
Ugh...I think I've rooted a purist gnome...*pulls you out of the ground*
I guess it's not western 'manga.' Fine have it your way, they're 'comics' but they're DRAWN in the manga style so don't get all purist on me or I'll spank you with my Yoai paddle.

Same way a cart with two horses isn't called a "car"

WTC is that supposed to mean? No crap it ain't called a car because, hey, it ISN'T A CAR. I'm just saying that they are drawn to look like manga but they are from america. And every time you sit down and draw I hope you tell yourself:
"Im going to draw some nice COMICS today" or else you are a freaking hypocrit.

Ooooh, that's true... officially they aren't manga because they aren't Japanese... but since it looks like it I always just call it manga. I mean, who cares about the origin when it's cool and looks the same? Should I start thinking I'm drawing comics too now? :hmm: Because I've tried and failed many times :swt: I'm willing to give it another try, though...

Manga for me is in japanese language, anime for me is in japanese language. Western comics are junk - but that's for me. :gg:

I agree.. but since pictures usually don't have any language, they can still qualify as a manga picture... However, when it's translated from Japanese to English, it's still manga/anime for me (since it was originally Japanese).. I think I might be confusing myself :hmm:
