    Thank you!!! Yeah Japanese Manga remain popular in the US! I remember when I was in College (a few years ago) there was a very popular manga/anime club at the school. I would sometimes join them to watch some anime on Saturday late night and they had many anime book reviews!

    I think that Pluto is one of the precursor of the popularity of manga because it's one of the first manga to have been very popular in western countries. I think I still have some memories of watching Astro boy when I was kid ;) ! My favorite animes/manga of all time are Full metal alchemist, Detective Conan, City hunter , Saint Seiya, BT'X , maison Ikkoku ... I think that I have many many anime that I really like!

    Yeah I think that the guys who made Astro Boy and Pluto totally deserve their success because they are geniuses!

    Thank you for reading my post :)

      Oh, yeah!
      You are very familiar with Japanese Manga!🤗

      I did not know that Pluto was so popular in America!
      His manga is full of very unique ideas and fascinates those who read!

      Wow! Really? I also love Full metal alchemist!
      I saw the movie series at the movie theater, I also have DVDs and Manga!
      That Manga is also very popular in Japan, so I'm happy being accepted in the America!😄

      The popularity of Conan is amazing!
      In the Japanese movie rankings, Avengers3 ranked second and Conan was first!
      Marvle studio was also surprised at this!😲

      Thank you Mangas are somethings that I really like! I started learning about Mangas since I was a kid :) !

      I think that the ideas that are in Pluto can well be used in many other domains like video games, movies or Artificial Intelligence!

      I am a very glad you are a big fan of Full Metal Alchemist! There are so many historic and philosophical concepts in that manga and on top of that, the author had a lot of imagination that allowed her to create an incredible universe! In terms of anime, I watched both Full Metal Alchemist 2003 and Brotherhood. I really like both, but I think that I like Full Metal Alchemist 2003 a little more! I feel like there were more philosophical concepts that were developed in that anime, even though it had fewer characters. I watched also many Full metal alchemists film anime such as Conqueror of Shamballa. I haven't watched the actual movie that came out recently though.

      Detective Conan is such a fun anime, I love it, and it always reminds me of my teenage years. Oh really??? I did not know that, thats impressive and surprising. I am a big fan of Detective Conan but I feel like here in the west people are less fan of Detective Conan than One Piece or Bleach. I have always thought that Gosho Aoyama is a genius anyway! :)

        Wow! You are truly familiar with Japanese animation!👍

        Yes! Your right!
        Full Metal Alchemist is very philosophical And also religious! Homunculus is the theme of the seven major sin ordained by Christ.
        Yeah, 2003ver was very good! 2003ver was an animation like a darker and better quality opera house! The quality of the picture was also very good!
        Shamballa set the parallel world further deepened the world view of Full Metal Alchemist!
        If you are interested I will recommend a 2011 movie! This movie has a bit of painting like ghibli, but the suspense element is strong and it is very good!

        Certainly there are few people who like Conan in the US and Europe.
        I also liked Conan, but I do not see much now.
        Why do you love Conan so much? I'm interesting🙂

          Thank you my friend! Yeah the homunculus concept is really something deep, very deep. I feel like that can inspire lots of stories, animes, movies, basically develop our imagination! And you are right, originally it is a concept that comes from religion. There are a lots of religion references in Full Metal Alchemist, especially the 2003 one.

          Actually, I have watched the 2011 movie too :)! It was on Netflix a couple of years ago I believe. I should try to rewatch it though. Yeah that movie is very good. It is better than Conqueror of Shamballa in my opinion, but I have to rewatch both to be sure.

          Oh you do not watch much Conan these days? I think the problem that Detective Conan has is that it has been extended too much and also the timeline is not really linear per say. So for somebody that has watched it for at least 10 years, he did not really see the main characters drastically improve in terms of the storyline. So yeah probably Gosho Aoyama should have either made the character evolve (like in Dragon Ball Z for instance) or he should have ended the show. You see, FMA is very popular and I think one of the reason why it is is that it ended (not too many episode) This is good for at least one reason: the reader/watcher can use his imagination to envision what happens next in the story.

          Yeah Detective Conan is definitely one of my 3 favorite anime/manga of all time! I feel like the universe that was elaborated by Gosho Aoyama is very deep and clever and when you watch the show, you have to constantly think, so it is mentally challenging :) ! Also watching Detective Conan as a teenager made me learn many things that I did not know about history, geography, biology etc ... So it made me being more curious about things and constantly try to learn and figure out things like Conan does. And watching Detective Conan always reminds me of my Childhood. I also like the atmosphere in Conan. Sometimes they joke, sometimes it is dramatic, there is a little of everything. I also like Conan because I have always liked investigation stuffs and Conan is definitely that.

          There are many other reasons why I like Detective Conan but I cannot remember them right now. And I sincerely think Gosho Aoyama is a genius!

          May I ask you why you like Conan? :)

            Yeah! In Japan, there are very few people who believe in a particular religion, So it is interesting that animation like FMA became popular. I think that the content is really attractive!

            Oh, really?🙂
            I think so, too! I think that the balance between the suspense story and the battle scene was very good in the 2011 movies!

            Your right! Your opinion is very precise!
            FMA finished the story very neatly beautifully. That further enhances the completeness of the FMA.
            It is difficult to keep a long-lasting story in good quality…It's like the recent STAR WARS series(I am sorry if you are a STAR WARS fan)

            Your love for Conan is transmitted to me!👍
            People who love Conan are concentrating in Asia, so the Western fan's opinion is very interesting to me!😉
            Conan revitalizes the brains of the watching people That is also true for Death Note, but as you say Conan has a lot of fun jokes and is accepted in the family group.
            You are a real fan who really knows Conan!

            Probably now I have not seen enough to tell Conan's charm…😅
            As you said, I lost interest in Conan's endless story on the way…But it is not only Conan, it is the fate of other long-lasting Manga and Animation.

            I think the charm I felt when I was watching Conan was the same as you.
            A lot of unique items such as reasoning and soccer balls and skateboards attracted me who was a boy😄
            And, Fortunately I saw the first movie in Conan movie series at the cinema. That experience was very exciting🙂

            Yeah totally agree with you, and with Star Wars. With Star Wars I think it gets even worse because they tried to change some of the core stuffs and I think that the main fans did not really like that.

            Very nice to know about your perspective on Conan. Oh by the way I love Death Note!! It is also among my favorite anime (I can't believe I forgot to mention it)!!! That anime is really awesome and has lots of core ideas. I watched the original version (with english subtitles) to get the essence of the Death Note environment and that was awesome!!! I always think that it is better to watch the original version of something (movie, animes) because you get a better sense of the atmosphere.

            Thank you for your analysis on Conan! It was nice to hear your perspective! :)

              I have relieved you with the same opinion about STAR WARS😆

              I am surprised that Death Note really has many fans around the world!😲
              Death Note is a somewhat radical story, However, I think expressing human deep malice frankly, very attractive story.
              I do not know what the difference is between the American version and the original version, But I think subtitles are a way to enjoy that work most!
              I also want to experience the original goodness of the work So I always watch movies with subtitles😉

              For me too your point of view is really interesting! And I learned a lot!
              Thank you for letting me tell you a story!🤗
              Nice meeting you friends!👍
