This is a small rant that has been anoying me noticing Anime` has come to my country slowy ( in Netherlands ) as well as large fanbasses on the internet,

Everyone knows Tezuka was insprired by well as Betty Boop Bop as Walt Disney, ( he even asked Walt Disney to make a Manga version of Bambi ) ,

and its clear that his style has inspired many others ( like the creators of Megaman Kaze ki no uta Jetter Mars )





i mean just look at other Non Tezuka works like Jetter Mars ect they all look very much alike at tezuka`s style while the diffrence grow bigger ,


trough i`m getting of topic Anime orginally came from Western Comics,

now i see alot of New-Anime fans ranting about Non Manga Look alikes
( such as W.i.t.c.h whice in my opnion is a verry good comic and even got a manga version released )
or Avatar ( not my thing but it surlly is bether then Robot Monkey go force-whatever ) Usagi ( who even is a Guest Star in Teenage Mutant ninja turtels )

many fans hate those kind of shows/comics because its in Anime style by a Non Japense person i find this Bull,
milions of people have used the western style and not once did those fans complained, sure in some countryies Anime has become a trend but why is it forbiden for non Japense Artist to use the style?
lattely i have read journals where people say: i`m going to live in Japan when i`m older!

you don`t have to become a comic artist to go to Japan, thats another thing i get anoyed at,
Anime fans who suddnely think Japan is Eldarado now i`m not Anti Japense my fateher has lived there 2 months a year and let me tell you it isnt paradise the Social rules are very strict despite Japan being extremly far whith techonlgy, Woman still don`t have the same right as Men do

( whice was even said by Keiko Takemiya a famous a teacher and comic artist in Japan in a interview in 2006 )

it just anoys me that some anime fans even deny this ( NOT all Anime fans i`m a Anime fangirl myself )

only saying you don`t have to be Japense to use the Manga style :/

Edit: sorry guys i was really angry when i posted this topic :) but now it seems silly
