If manga makes you stop reading books, doesn't that tell those people that there's something about manga that makes it better than normal books? But that's not true. I like reading manga but I still like reading books, even though most of them out there are kind of boring.

*lol* i agree with Sakaki...
yeah, my family thinks that anime is cartoon.. perhaps they just saw some moving graphics etc.. so they think it is cartoon.. but basically, they wont bother me much as long as i pay for them (anime/manga) myself..
and i remembered once that my grandma saw me watching CCS and said... "why are you still watching cartoon"... i went (O_o)!

my parents grew up being taught that manga was "bad" so if you read manga, you were a bad kid -_- at least that is what my dad told me...

They just don't get it at all.
It's animation, but it's not cartoons.

that can just prove its the way THEY think, isnt it?

I apparently could care LESS of what others think anime/manga is to them. especially if they havent seen or read it. All they do is judge from first glance or just take a look at just ONE and they give their immediate opinion of, "It's gay." I might as well be listening to political people argue on TV about what's what and what's who's
In my opinion, anime and manga is just the form of people's creativity in Japan and portrayal on reality of all sorts of genres or based on what they see and think.
okay, im done babbling. lol

"Its a cartoon and a waste of your time, or stifles your intelligence"
"All anime promotes violence/sex/witchcraft/*insert evil vice here*"
Among other things I've heard... -_-;
One thing that annoys me most is people lumping all anime into the same genre. "All anime is kiddie stuff/hentai/giant robots/etc." When anime is really an art form in itself and contains just as many genres as Hollywood movies, if not more - drama, romantic comedy, action, fantasy, historical... It's hard to get some people to understand this.
