Week Fourteen: The influence of Manga and Anime in the West

Share it Please
Everyone should read Annarasumanara a Korean manwha and answer some specific questions about it on their blog.  There will be presentations and this will be the final class of the semester.  You will be asked to complete the final grade conference by Friday of this week, which is the last day work can be submitted.

Here are the questions I would like you to respond to on your blog for this week:

1. What is your reaction to the text you just read?
2. What connections did you make with the story? Discuss what elements of the story with which you were able to connect?
3. What changes would you make to adapt this story into another medium? What medium would you choose; what changes would you make?
4. In what ways does this story seem more adapted to an online environment?


Please write a paragraph in response to each question.

Here are links to this week's presentations:

Ashleigh Crawford on Anime and Censorship

Salem Drago on Anime Influence on American Cartoons

Francis Chicote on the Popularity of Manga and Anime in Italy
