BIG HELP NEEDED, OPINION 질문 :)

Dear Anime/Manga lovers! :3

I have a request for 당신 guys:
I’m a Dutch student (btw, I think this English message is going to have some grammar mistakes ^^’’) and currently in my last 년 in middle-school. Everybody in his/her last 년 has to make a sort of project about a subject 당신 like. The goal of this project is that 당신 learn new things about your subject and I chose the subject anime/manga!

I want to find out why Anime/Manga started in Japan. Why 일본 and not for example Korea 또는 China? I think it has to do something with the strict/formal culture (in the past mostly) in Japan.

My 질문 for 당신 guys is if 당신 want to fill in these 질문 down below this message. This way I get to know opinions about Anime/Manga other than mine! It’ll take some time to fill in all the 질문 so if you’re not interested that’s allright^^

So please fill in those 질문 and it would be a big help! 
Thank 당신 very much!! :D

망가 답변

1. I began 읽기 망가 after my friend introduced me to Tokyo Mew Mew and Fruits Basket. I read the former thinking it was cute, short, and mainly entertainment. The plotting was fast and I was frustrated at the loose ends it let but mainly enjoyed it. Fruits Basket on the other hand I took 더 많이 for emotional enjoyment. The situations were extreme and while the premise sounds cute it got dramatic real fast. I enjoyed learning many stories from many characters in this format that were vastly different. Each story was like a magnified value of the author and that was interesting to read magnified emotions and values like that. mostly it is for fun but sometimes it gets me thinking about nuances in people's personalities and is kind of a catharsis when I read emotional scenes close to my heart. It's interesting, creative and a better way to get the drama of a soap opera than watching those clunky messes.

2. Sort of. After being introduced to Manga/Anime I wasn't really interested in anything else 일본 had to offer until we got to choose a country to research their deitites. well I am way into mythos so I checked it out and was interested. Their cultural differences , their history and value system are just intriguing. along with the snacks they offer. (Banana popsicles 당신 can peel..... never getting over that)

3. Not really, no. some can offer new viewpoints and 질문 to ponder but some I take purely as innocent entertainment like "Yotsuba" a 망가 about a cute girl doing cute things and one of the few slice of life I read.

4. I think that 일본 would still be 일본 but as far as I know 망가 and 아니메 are a big identifier for 일본 outside itself. It's one of the few things that I guess it has in common with outside countries because it is an obvious one that invades a lot of cultures. It's very important for accumulating outside civilian interest I guess.

5. Hmm. This last one is tough because I never really thought of it. I guess as an outlet for emotions and ideals in their simplest forms because whenever I watch 아니메 and 망가 that is something that I always notice. Galileo wrote 책 and did demonstrations for the common people to understand 의해 using a medium they could easily access and learn from. 망가 probably started 의해 wanting to artistically get across ideals without being to political about it.... wait I just got too political about it.... and the whole entertainment thing too...

Well I hope this was of help and hope 당신 do great on your project
