Manga vs Comics? No. If nobody wants to be civil about the debating on the subjects on the forum, like 99% of the threads created the ban doesn't need to be uplifted.

I don't see why not....we can debate cartoon and movie characters

Mange needs to stay off this site and go to Anime Vice. It seems like it would be welcomed with open arms there.

To make the poll more concise, you should just stick with yes or no. Answers C, D, and especially E really won't let any point you're trying to make across. Just a thought.

I think the Mods should lift the ban for a week, to see what happens but I think they did it once before and people just started flooding the battle forum with Manga Vs Comic threads. I think they should secretly lift the ban, that way it could slowly come back..

I remember when people were begging for the ban to be made.

There's less flame wars now so I say it worked.

Sure their were a few bad eggs back then but having a debate between Manga and Comic's can be done.

It's possible, but the problem is that the few spoil the pot for all. If you get what I'm saying.

And anything that deals with movies should go to Screened?

Manga is comics, dude, just from Japan. It's all the same. Stories that are drawn in boxes.

The entire point of Vs. battles are childish, I don't think we should add to that.

#20 Posted by moywar700 (2775 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Yes we should lift the ban but only allow a few manga/anime threads be allowed. Over time, the mods should raise the number of threads allow

I would rather have that happen then allow Manga make it's way here. They are NOT the same. Are anime cartoons normal run of the mill cartoons? No, they are not. There is a huge difference between the two and anyone who says differently is WRONG...

So no.

Normal cartoons? Really... we're gonna be that dumb about this?

Anime is a blanket term for animation from Japan (and other countries around there; Taiwan, South Korea, etc.). Under that label they make every genre of cartoon, just as we have here.

It's the same with Manga. It's just comics from Japan. (you know, the country that sort of invented sequential art) And they actually have MORE genres of comics than we have names for in the west. And they sell more than western comics' biggest titles combined (over 3.5 billion a year for the industry, as opposed to less than 200 million)

Just because you close your eyes and scream it doesn't exist, doesn't make it so. Thaw your brains folks, you just might like what you see.

#29 Posted by TheRedRobin96 (334 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

I say yes, but it would result in Comic Book fanboys and Anime Fanboys offending each other! Then the people who like both just sit and suffer. Personally I do not like Anime in the least I have always liked Comics. Maybe they could make a new forum for it like "other" and when you enter you know what your gettign your self into. (P.S. I am sick so I didnt xplanin all of that correctly0

that's because the Mods made a big deal out of it and people went nuts making Manga Vs. Comic, I think the ban should be lifted but no knows about it that way it might slowly come back..,

@0blivion_:

And then people wouldn't post in said threads because they're suppose to be banned, or they'll pester the TC about it being banned.

No, it shouldn't be "secretly lifted." If they want, do another test run.

@JediXMan: balderdash, people comment on the fight before it even gets locked and there no flames wars or trolls (for that short time, I can't say what might happen when the thread is open for a substantial amount of time) and we shouldn't let a few bad apple ruin it for eveyone!

#33 Posted by Decoy Elite (28581 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Also I think it should be pointed out the OP misspelled Manga.

Comics vs Mange is not a thing for those that are confused.

Typically not. The first comments on such battles are from people who point out that said thread is against the rules - myself included.

#38 Posted by MoodyKingMoron (137 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

There's already a flame war developing over this in THIS VERY THREAD, so the answer is quite simply: no. Look, we can debate the difference between Western comics and Manga all day, but the fact remains is that this site focuses primarily on American comics. The problem with some manga fans is that they come on here and start these pointless flame wars just to rile people up because having their own forums to discuss this isn't enough apparently. I'd say the Mods made the right decision in banning these discussions if all they lead to is bickering.

#39 Posted by jhazzroucher (12397 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Yes!

#40 Posted by CATPANEXE (9366 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

I don't participate, so I won't enter my vote, but my opinion. Sure. I'm sure it seemed the logical course, and I've seen it happen not only here, but on several comic sites Battle forums, and highlighted the case of DBZ. But, flame wars and people being crude to each other actually happens everywhere, regardless of the topic or even whether there's one at all. Some subject matter get's higher notice, and that's perhaps due to the popularity of it. Say religion, which you'd find just as much scorn about in real life, or sports. Or music. Or of course, certain popular comic characters. Or any view really. The thing is it's not the subject that's actually the cause. It can't be, and any amount of logic simply stands against that being true. A subject is not an entity that does anything, it's just a thing. People cause flame wars, and people insult each other, and distrust one another. Not DBZ threads. So sure why not, give it a chance and rely on people to do what they naturally will, either treat each other with respect, or bicker as always regardless of the why and whose right or wrong. The presence or lack thereof of a topic about anime won't change whether any of that happens regardless, no more than holding an umbrella actually stops the rain from falling from the sky. Take that as you will.

#45 Posted by nightwing91 (3911 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Nope, leave it banned It's obvious the battle forums are better off.

@0blivion_: If they secretly lifted the banned, there would be very little comics vs manga threads made. And it would be filled up with most Viners putting their two cents, and reporting it to mods for violating the rules. And it won't be a secret for long, once they see the first thread hasn't been deleted someone is surely going to ask a mod, and then it will just be an influx of Manga vs Comics threads, which would inevitably leads to flame wars.The problem with secrets on the internet, they never stay secret.

@moywar700 said:

Well that's the problem, who decides which threads can remain open. That would just lead to a bunch of complaining that Mods are playing favorites.

If things are kept civil and the dbz fanboys and wankers calm down and actually debate, then I dont see why not, manga are Japanese comic books so I dont see why they should be banned off a comic site

#47 Posted by mrdecepticonleader (10343 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

No they shouldn't this site is called comic vine for a reason,if people want to talk about manga go on other sites.And it will cause alot of trolling in the battle forums,alot more than there is now.

#48 Posted by Hazlenaut (1679 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

manga are just paperbacks deal with it. However the problem we have is with the DBZ Fanboys and Supeman Fanboys. You can at least find 20 threads of them with one at least 40 pages long. I await death battle just to shut the $#!!@ up but you know it wont happen. They are the reason why we cant have a east vs west fight. Most of them High horse single minded nitwits.

If they weren't so different they wouldn't have their own separate names. I'm not going to go into detail about it, because I really do hate them for what they are. I love cartoons and comics... and hate Anime and Manga.

#50 Posted by PhoenixoftheTides (2881 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

No. Number 1, many readers of Western comics barely read manga. Number 2, most manga characters are overpowered and PIS/WIS are inherent parts of the characters.
