OK… I’ll try and explain this once more.
A MANGA is a comic book that you can read or an online representation of one.
An ANIME is an animated feature, TV series or made for video series that CAN be based on a Manga.

There is no such thing as a Manga movie.
Unless you actually film a comic book.

The only Anime that can be called Manga Films are titles released on the Manga Video label.

I expected you, Daimao, a person living in Japan to at least know when to call a spade a spade.

You don’t have Comic movies either do you? You either call those cartoons or animated features…

I hope you’ll edit this store to reflect the appropriate nomenclature.

Thanks

It makes me think that this father was abusive towards his daughter (common in Japan) and she may have been inspired by this anime to finally act out against her agressor.

This is more a problem with Japanese society than with manga or anime…

To Niels from Nederland – dont get all sad about “manga” & “anime” being used correctly as terms – the writer is French and English is his 3rd language!

To Daimaou: nice new lay-out for the site!

“dressed as a character of the cartoon”

just like a few other million girls that were going to school that day? geez, it’s a high school uniform.

I know of a lot of people that killed dressing football (soccer for americans) t-shirts.

Is the football guilty because some people are metal sick enought to kill because of a game?

Here in brazil when a case like this envolving RPG or Anime happens the TV create a circus and blame the game/comics, but when the same happen in football/sour-operas it\’s the people, not the game/drama.
In my opinion people mad are not mad because of something like manga, movies, musica, games, just use those as a escuse or a way to fill their insanity.

You know I have been watching this series and there has been zero violence in it. Sex… Well yeah. The main guy is doing it with just about anything that moves…

But I cant really think of many anime that does not have some violence or other conflict. There are a couple like Aria and Kappa no kaikatta.

The show in question, school days eps. 12.
Will be broadcasted tomorrow on AT-X 00:30.

Well, to be honest not all of the anime are much consist some rated R content. Most of them are just fiction and not to be involved to current society because they are most like be sensitive about. The only matter is, unless it is some sort of documentary can inflict some person to take actions(anything done indeed have consequence of course), is either if they some take it seriously or, got “motivated” by overrated influence; thus creating their ideals though.
