1, 17, 21, 37, 41, 42, 46, 47
1....Is that from the Celebi one?
17. I was under the impression the writers were striking because the studios were not giving the writers proper compensation? (edit: I left it incomplete--oops. fixed)
21. But then that same argument would have to sort of be applied to most comics in general. You can't not argue that manga, or Japanese comics we'll say here, is a form of art because then that would mean other kinds of comics such as US comics, Spanish comics, French and Franco-Belgian comics would not be considered art either. (Granted the latter two can vary from childish to extremely detailed and serious and...oh no! intellectual. Some of the 'adult' series have beautiful panels and full page paintings that merit a place in an art gallery. Some of these panels make use of digital or traditional mediums such as watercolour, acrylic, oils, inks, charcoal etc.)
You mentioned that porn (a subgenre, I suppose. Not one I particularily identify with in any comicbook type) as an example of the decline of the Japanese culture--would you apply this example to French BDs and independant US comics too? (among others? So Brazillian, Italian--like Sky Doll, mind that's more adult-erotic--Franco-Belgian etc.) Would the subgenre still signal a decline in those cultures? Because, usually the biggest sign of the decline in a culture is more political, socio-political, sociological and (in a way...) economically oriented rather than artistic--that probably acts as one of the ways to indicate something is wrong, but it doesn't act as a major cause in a society's cultural decline. Subcultures have very little power on a society. (unless they band together and become 'the culture'...)
It should also be noted though, that next to the Television/Movie fandom, the anime and manga fandom is probably the next biggest and most of the users on LJ are anime and manga fans.
Also, Art History programmes tend to have a major incredible slant towards Western art. You can focus on an era, it's style, but from what I've been able to see, it's almost always focuses on Western art and most school feature extremely little on East Asian art, or African, South American, South Asia or other art styles. Maybe one course or the rare two, but nothing more.
Actually don't know why I bothered replying to this, but oh well. When you staunchly defend comics as a medium or art form and are a sociology and communications major....which I don't see how that has any bearing on my opinion but, anyhow. PS. Not from a Top 10 US university therefore, I am lesser than thou?
DIPLOMA WAR! *brandishes BSocSc menacingly*
37. No way! That's....bizarrely amusing. I loved that movie too.
41. Hahaha...I loved Three's opera cape.
42. What episode is this? Just curious because I know there are so many epically funny episodes and some nice serious ones mixed in with a small dose of funny (like 58-61). I've begun reading the manga in French and I've only seen 14, 25 and 58-61 and I'd like to get into watching the anime version a bit when I can.
46. Hahaha....
47. OH HELL NO. But...how--? Should I bother trying to figure out how it would even be possible?! D8

Re: 1, 17, 21, 37, 41, 42, 46, 47
one could pull out the dreaded thesis and probably take out a few of whatever enemy.
hehe, i did actually read your comment, but i had nothing more to add except for that. Diploma War now seems like an interesting story idea.
