Great job! When you read this, you go from feeling like an otaku, to feeling like a baka

that was very interesting to read I enjoyed it very much!

@SomeGuy:

Ah Much obliged Some Guy, It was your gentle encouragement of my last piece that made me strive for this one. I'm excited to do my next piece . . . How to Photoshop your pictures!

@Nehszriah:

I'll know better, so it's all good.

More in line with the essay at hand, this was absolutely brilliant. Extremely professional, even includes figure examples (that has to be a first for the site, I think), and everything is written incredibly well. There was definitely a lot of stuff here that I didn't know, so I was more than happy to read.

Heh . . . of course you know now, man, that I expect to see a lot of amazing stuff from ya in the future, eh?

That was an interesting article. I remember writing a term paper last semester on the origins of anime and I know that this is just grazing the surface. Despite that, this article hits quite a few important points for the length. Good job.

((Psst... do you think I should submit my paper now, or will it seem too much like being a copy-cat? I just thought of it as I read this. ^_^'))

wow, it's good to know that all the things i've been telling ppl are true! lol this was a very well written and informative article! i really liked it. it really expanded my knowledge on anime's start (like i didn't know it was orignally used for proganda!). i hope to see more!
