The Anime/Manga
fan base has grown from a small but dedicated group
of individuals into a fairly large group that is on
the very edge of being recognized as being a somewhat
mainstream entity. With more fans comes more discussion
and dialogue, and also more points of view. However,
in a curious trend, there are several issues that have
always come to the mind of a typical anime fan when
they are discussing it with other people. These topics
are among the most hotly debated, and also most long-lived
in all of anime/manga fandom, and some of these have
no definitive answer either way even today.
This
class will take a look at the anime/manga fandom and
some of the most common recurring issues that have come
up in discussion among them, regarding the state of
the industry. Frank will help you take a quick look
at fandom in general as well as lay out the arguments
of each controversial issue. With these in hand, you'll
have a better understanding of not only what issues
keep coming up among the fans of anime/manga, but also
why the "jury is still out" on them. Knowing
these will hopefully help you even more when you come
up on them with your fellow anime/manga fans!
