Well,i need to stall until i can come up with another anime discussion,and i am still suffering from the nightmares i get when i read horror manga,so its time for 20 more facts about anime and manga! (A.K.A my version of filler episodes.) Oh yeah,like the layout?!

1.There are two reasons why Kaneki Ken's hair turns white. (If you don't know who Kaneki Ken is..Look it up)

1.Its symbolic of him giving into his power.
2.This is due to stress from being tortured  2-5 times a day,for at least a week.(Its not very well explained in the manga either.)

2.Kouta Hirano (The writer of the Hellsing manga) LOVES Hellsing abridged.

3.Oh yeah,speaking of Kouta,he was originally a Hentai artist,before wanting to do more with himself.

4. Anyone remember Maka briefly dressing up like this in the Soul Eater anime?

(OH..You can't see it in this layout,can you? UGH,open it in a new tab!)


Well,for those that have only seen the anime adaptation of the manga,this dress is a reference to this-



This is what happens when Maka and Soul tap into the power of black blood,to defeat the Kishin Asura.The blood manifest itself into a dress.Atsushi Okubo(The writer and artist of the manga) insisted that studio Bones add this in,as a reference for fans of the manga.

Good job Okubo! Now then,about that remake of the anime,so it can follow the manga...

5.All manga is drawn by hand..I'm serious.Look it up.There is not a single official manga volume in the world,that is not hand drawn.The best thing you can find is manga made by fans on the internet.

6.90% of all works by studio Clamp,exist within the same universe.They originally did this as a gimmick,to keep readers interested.However..This appears to have backfired.As they have said multiple times,with ever new series they create,it gets harder to make the series exist within the setting of another universe.
To give you a metaphor,its like trying to make a new super hero,in the marvel or DC universe.It is near impossible with all the continuity problems it would spawn.

7.The High School Of The Dead anime,and manga volumes,are banned in certain places around the world...Huh..

8.It is very,VERY hard to air new anime in Japan.Why? Simple.Every new season,there are at least 40 new anime that have to air throughout the week,in a decent time slot.Could you imagine if cartoon network had to air 40 new shows,in the course of a week? It would be chaos.However,it does not stay like this for long.Once 12-13 weeks are up,the 12-13 episode series stop airing,and the longer anime continue there course.Causing the amount of new anime airing to halt for a while.

9.Naruto volumes 1-30 were completely planned out by Masashi Kishimoto.He already had the story completely written,and planned out.All he had to do,was write,and draw.Shippuden however..Well that's a bit of a different story.He had up until Naruto's battle with pein completely planned,but after that,he needed to wing it for a while.That means,about 70% of the new things you see in Naruto,were planned on the fly...I can easily that.

10.Tamiki Wakaki,(The writer of The World God Only Knows manga) is a HUGE fan of card games.In fact,he forced himself to understand English as best as he could,just to play Hearthstone.Funny thing is,he did not know he could change the language setting,for 3 months...That is hilarious.

11.Lets say you're an up and coming manga artist,lets say you get picked up by some people who want to publish your manga.However..You're very new,and don't have many references,but they see potentiol in your work.So here is what they do.

Lets say your manga is 12 volumes long.They will only publish the first 3 volumes,see how sales go,and then decide if they want to publish more.

This is exactly what happened with Death Note.Funny thing is,right after the 2nd volume hit shelfs,and sold out within days,the executives decided to publish the entire series.They knew that no matter what,it would sell like hot cakes.

12.When the 8th episode Sword Art Online came out,companies such as Blizzard entertainment,Bioware,and Trion Worlds,reported that the avatar names involving the names,Kirito,Kirigaya,Kazuto,or Asuna,went up by at least 30%...So..Uh *Quickly deletes world of warcraft character "Sinon rules"* Freaking nerds right? Ha ha ha ha ha..

13.The Trigun manga,and anime did terrible in Japan.In fact,the reason it is so popular now,is because of the western market.

14.As of October 14th,2014,the manga series Blood Lad,is officially the 200th highest selling manga in the world..Yay,i suppose.You got a LONG away ahead of you,kid.

15.Oh yeah,speaking of positions in popularity,according to google trends,by the end of this year,Bleach will lose its spot of the 4th highest selling manga in the world,to Attack On Titan.Attack On Titan currently rest at number 6.Slowly biding its time...

16.King Kai's pet monkey,Bubbles,is a reference to Michael Jackson's pet monkey,Bubbles.As Akira Toriyama(The writer of..I don't think i need to explain these things to you anymore.) was a VERY big fan of Michael's music.

17.The Death Note anime and manga,is banned in China.First of all,the concept already treads on cultural laws.However,what really made this ban happen,was this: The series was so popular,that kids would buy Death Notes,and wrote down the names of people,wishing for there death.

I must admit,if i was there age,i would do the same thing.Gotta find some way to relieve stress!

18.There is a site known as Redbubble.com,that is a very popular site for buying unofficial anime T-Shirts. (Trust me,i would know,i have bought over 50 shirts from there.) They have been hit numerous times from executives,who publish the anime and manga series.In fact,they are very close to being shut down.With only a few laws backing them up,and keeping them holding on by a thread.

Wait,does this mean that..Say,30-42% of all of my T-Shirts,are illegal?!..That's not good.

19.The three most popular Anime genres are,in order.

1.Shonen
2.Shoujo
3.Mecha.
4.Hentai/Ecchi

20.There is cat in the Trigun anime,and manga,that appears in literally every single episode,and volume of the manga.The cat is named Kuroneko,and always exist in some way or form,in each episode.Maybe hiding in the backround,some picture on the wall.But he/she,will always be there.Sort of like the snail from Adventure Time. (If anyone gets the reference.)

And that is that.See you next time.Now if you will excuse me,i got discussions to write!

So..Okubo..You adapt this,instead of making an anime reboot that follows the manga..?

Okubo: What? I like it..

*Facepalm*
