Possibly why some Anime and Manga are so dark

Postby John Dillinger » Mon Jul 13, 2015 2:34 am

As many of us have heard, many manga artists and animators were influenced by Western comics and cartoons. Well, judging from this, I think I know where they also got ideas for some of the more horrifying and bizarre stuff that's been created.http://www.cracked.com/article_22602_8-horrifying-moments-from-classic-kids-cartoons.html

Maybe so. Still, while I knew the Japanese have made some really bizarre anime, it was a bit of a surprise to find Western stuff, primarily in the 30's that was sodamned strange. :shock:
