Make Your Own Manga Comic Book
A few weeks ago, I read an interesting article on how to make an eBook. While it was very interesting, I found that my need for publishing my own manga comics that I hope to ultimately convert to anime extended not just to eBooks, but onto a basic paper format first. The paper backup would serve as my portfolio for the project, so that I would be able to know how to develop the eBook when I was finally ready to go that route. I was looking for an easy, inexpensive way to apply some ink to paper in a systematic method that would give me the look and feel of a real comic book…

Ages of Decepticons
The Decepticons make up one of the critical factions in the Transformers mythos, and are primarily concerned with things like conquering Cybertron, defeating the Autobots, stockpiling tons of energon, creating powerful new weaponry, and just beating people up. Without the Decepticons, Autobots just wouldn’t have anything to do, really. Decepticons are ruled by the most powerful and strong of their number as the main leader, which makes their leadership subject to change frequently since all Decepticons believe themselves to be the biggest and baddest in the land.

Pokémon World Championship 2011
This Pokémon thing has gotten out of control. Gotta catche ‘em all? Good luck! Because now, there are even more varieties and kinds of Pokemon than ever before. On August 14 and 15, more than 400 hopeful players from more than 27 countries competed in the annual Pokemon World Championship. The invite-only tournament was, as usual, highly exclusive. Winners who placed in different categories of competition received medals, expensive vacations, Pokémon merchandise, and a share in more than $100,000 in scholarship funds. Skill, strategy, creativity, sportsmanship, and fun are the time honored pillars of the Pokemon game, and that grand tradition was beautifully upheld during the tournaments.

Otaku Nature Preservation
A play on the words in both senses… The word originated in Japan and is used as a derogatory term signifying an outcast of society that obsesses over a particular subculture. This subculture can be anything from anime to ancient kung fu techniques. As long as the point of obsession isn’t accepted by the majority of society then you can have the term used against you in Japan. Only in certain cities or subgroups is the term acceptable in Japan. Places such as Akihabara also known as Akiba is the mecca of Anime. Located in the center of Tokyo it is where the majority of all animes and mangas are published and created. Due to that there…

5 Longest running Animes
Since there is a large difference in how long a series goes in Manga versus Anime we are going to look at the 5 longest running Anime series only; not the Mangas. What lets a series become an Anime is the Manga process. You start off as a Manga. If you are loved then you have a chance at becoming an Anime. They give you a short series if they are not sure, usually 13 episodes. If they are confident in your anime being a success then they give you a 21-24 episode series. Based on the viewers from the first season determines how long they keep it going. Some series are very popular as…
Cult Animes and their Followings
Saikano This series didn’t cross my path until I started hearing about it through others that heard about it through others. I don’t know if it was ever advertised however I do know that with it’s more complex story bordering on the edge of “Mind F#$#” and the plot that actually tells you to stop watching at this episode if you want a happy ending and finish if you want a tragedy; This movie is just straight Cult. Air Gear One of those animes that was too good as a manga to make into an equally good anime. When my friends and I watched it we died for them to make more episodes and eventually there would…
