And I find it amusing that you didn't seem to read a single part of the article that the original post was based on.
Manga is completely different in artwork, most manga have MUCH deeper storylines and moral issues involved than American comics, and if you ask me, American cartoons just don't compare at all to the Japanese equivalent Anime.
"Manga has nothign to teach American comics."??? Dude, if you ever noticed things like Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Lab, or the more older ones like Tom & Jerry and most of the other stuff on Cartoon Network, they're all aimed for little kids! Now, compare that to Anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghosts In The Shell, etc, which are aimed for a much wider age-range. If Anime, which are based on Manga, has as much difference in target audience, guess what about Manga, with its much wider world.
"American comics have leared the hard lessons first." Either you're blind or the fact that most American comics have "super-heroes" in spandex, or have kiddie non-sense content. Have you ever actually read a manga(even translated ones are fine)? Because it sure looks like you haven't.
It's one thing that most of the main-stream Anime/Manga revolves around the kiddie kinds like Pokemon, and Digimon...(It's mainly due to the companies that choose these kinds of things instead of the better ones) But man, at least try attempting to read about what you're posting on, Caiwyn.
