I firmly believe that that shows the quality of anything produced by Japan, or the East in general, and therefore should not be talked about, read, played, or looked at. Ever.

But, srsly, the game sucks.

Naruto sucks (sorry Naruto fans) so it's not an example. By the way, in russian translation the name Kakashi is censored to Katashi due to sounding much like word for "shit" in its original spelling.

I know, I was kidding. 😛

Manga is on my "things I should be reading/watching, but shamefully haven't tried yet", right up there with Pulp Fiction, Res Dogs, The Wheel of Time series, and others.

Also sometimes manga\manhwa is just the word for western-style comics published in Japan or HongKong. Sometimes art in Western comics is even more typically "japanese" than in manga itself.

And big eyes isn't an authentical manga\anime tradition. Japanese artists borrowed it... from early Disney cartoons so the habit is American-born.

I always laugh at DBZ vs Naruto fanboys debates (though it isn't much fun watching that kiddy bashing but it depends). At least the level of stupidity is comparable.

I've just read Goku vs Superman thread. I don't care about Supes at all, but DBZ fanboys are quite funny there.

Anime/Manga sucks anyway.

If the only anime\manga you know about are Sailor Moon, DBZ& Naruto, then it looks like perfectly true statement.
