[edit] French case

maybe I did too much. however local manga situation cannot be understood without setting the historical/cultural background, that's why I tried to do. It probably could be splitted in a separate article later, when other countries will expose their manga history. i'm pretty curious to know what happened in Italy, i noticed they had similar series than the French around the same period but had their own series (Gundam). Also Spain, particularly ,Catalonia state, had a strong anime explosion around when the French anime bubble broke in 1996/97. Discontinued series in France were later broadcasted in Catalonia's public channels C33 and TV3. Several OVAs aired C33 too. Don't know if the manga was developped on this market as much as it did in the French one. Paris By Night 13:40, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Manga or anime?

This article seems to focus more on anime than on manga, despite the title of the article. Should it be renamed? ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 18:44, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

the thing is manga and anime are almost considered the same thing, kind of, or are mixed up in some countries. in France the anime introduction directly led to the manga introduction, since anime series broadcast on tv and anime features released in theater were both published in library, so you cannot talk about one without refering to the other. "Manga and Anime outside Japan" ? i don't know if what happened in France did happened the same in all countries. or if in some countries, the popularity of a manga in a market led to its anime version's introduction.

Surely there must be an equivalent article on the french wikipedia. How about an interwiki link to any such article? --Squilibob 09:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

just call it "Manga/Anime outside of Japan" or something

Should this mention something about manga/anime in the uk it is becoming increasingly popular and manga is now sold in mainstream bookshops such as w h smith and waterstones

[edit] French section moved?

The section on Manga in France is extremely long and detailed. I think that it should be moved to it's own page with a summary and link on 'Manga outside Japan'. Any opinions? - Mizi 23:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moving Material into this Article

Some of us are working on a revision of the Manga article, and feel that it may be useful to move one the Manga article subsections into this one. It's section 6 of the Manga article, and has three subheadings:

6 International influence 6.1 North America 6.2 Europe 6.3 Influence

Does anyone have any objections to our moving 6, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 here?

Thanks!

I'm fine with it, just make sure to introduce 'International Influences' in the opening paragraph. Currently this article is mostly about japanese manga published in other countries. - Mizi 00:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
