New Poll - Which Comics
(20 posts, 2166 views) Posted: over 2 years ago by ZiBaXn in News
I swear it feels like a new world because I feel like 10 years ago, i would have said Japanese but with all the apps out there for folks to read chinese, korean, or western comics make it so much more accessible.

New Poll - Author Morality
(24 posts, 2166 views) Posted: over 2 years ago by ZiBaXn in News
of course it has an affect, how much is the question. i don't assume all art is supposed to represent the beliefs of the artists, just perhaps their experience.

New Poll - Artist Controversies

I can call a morally corrupt person a great artist who make great work. Jackson is a great artist, but a questionable person. Cosby has done a lot of humanitarian work and has helped the black community in so many ways....but he is a convicted rapists. Being a good artist...

New Poll - Cheating/Infidelity
(37 posts, 2984 views) Posted: over 2 years ago by ZiBaXn in News
Well not "criminal" like go to jail, but there should be a punishment all the same, maybe an extra fine...if the infedelity results in a divorce sparked by the party that was cheated on. I will say that this should really only apply to marriages where the union is legally...

Male and Female are sex, unless you are a hermaphrodite, you are going to be only one or the other.

New Poll - Obtaining Superpowers
(16 posts, 1547 views) Posted: over 2 years ago by ZiBaXn in News
Oh so much worse. Hereditary can already give people advantages and disadvantages in terms of health or privileges. Can you image the class system and hierarchy that would be more overt when looking into superpowers. Not to mention depending on what country you come from ...

Oh dear where to start

Okay so let me offer clarity to this topic. Most of the sett...

(16 posts, 1521 views) Posted: over 2 years ago by ZiBaXn in Love Hina
I do see your point. However i do see value in challenging authors even with their works. I agree that the appeal of some mangas is the authenticity that come in the form of cultural (to japan) influences. However, even with that in mind, to suggest that an author shouldn...

Thanks for the reply, there was lots of education. But now for the reply

As a "foreigner", I will say that there are somethings that PC has affected when it comes to expression. For example some animes and mangas will censor certain symbols, for example Neji from Naruto had his forehead symbol changed for western (and maybe more) audiences bec...

New Poll - Death Penalty Alternative
(19 posts, 1414 views) Posted: over 3 years ago by ZiBaXn in News
Not for nothing but what crime could a person commit in which the punishment is "oh we're going to erase your personality"? Who is that punishing? We aren't born with several personalities that we can pick or choose from, so no one is truly attached to their own personali...

Trying to find the manga that has this character

I believe that this image comes from Beauty and the Beasts, but I haven't found this image in the manga. I remember this image was part of a larger image with more characters in them, that is what I am looking for. So if you don't mind, can anyone tell me the chapter or...

New Poll - Forgotten Crime
(18 posts, 1574 views) Posted: over 3 years ago by ZiBaXn in News
My answer would be no but it depends on how that person got the amnesia. If your "amnesia" is that you were drunk, then no because your state of black out was due to your own choices. You can make a choice to not drink alcohol to the point where you lose your sense of mor...

Digital "Publishers"
(6 posts, 1063 views) Posted: over 3 years ago by ZiBaXn in News
While I do agree that Inkr and the like aren't publishers. Is it possible that you can make a little note that you can find the comic on Inkr. Kodansha doesn't have their own app, so being able to know where some of their comics are at (app wise) is nice.

This is the first time I am posting about the polls. Here is how I feel, art is a reflection of a culture. A piece of art must serve a purpose especially if the content is dramatic, violent, or lustful. If I am going to have to witness a child girl or boy be sexualized, t...

I have gotten a few apps to read such as Webtoon, Wecomics,Lezhin, and Tappy.toon to name a few. I have been really enjoying Kind Ah-Dai and Ellin's Solhwa. I find myself enjoying romances that aren't very intense but just enjoyable while my action comics need to have a...
