Anyways, cool. o:
Wonder if Greg already knew about this.

He'd probably call it a sad attempt at a tourist attraction.
Which it is…I guess.

I suppose but then why does it sound so cool to me?
I guess I'm just too much of a nerd.

Considering there is a good museum based to European comics in Brussels (can't help that its in a derelict part of town and that they just built a new museum to Herge/Tintin outside the city now….yeah, I've actually been there), I'm surprised it took so long to make a manga museum. The problem is though this: aside from Tezuka, whose important enough to be in it?
Y'know, Negima WAS awesome…
For the first 18 volumes.

It's a manga library, which is awesome since it's obvious there is going to be a great variety of manga that is going to be there (and not to mention anime).
I have a problem with it is that if its a tourist attraction (especially for foreigners) it can be a problem because most of the manga/books are going to be in Japan. I can imagine that since theres still a lot of manga (kochi kame, JBA, even Hajime no Ippo, that haven't been made in America yet)

There's a problem: most choices regarding who "we" want in a manga museum is based on biases and personal preferences. There's a ton of people we don't know about that probably are just as or more important than the ones we know of…and that's why I made that comment: because considering that Tezuka "is" the man who popularized the genre, he's the only person I know of that would be 100% in.
(somehow I can think of ones who strongly can make it in...and somehow a few easy choices are the guy behind "Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro", Go Nagai, Leigi Matsumoto, probably the one behind "Doraemon" and the recently deceased one behind "Crayon Shin-chan"...and yes, both Akira Toriyama and Rumiko Takahashi. Oda...well, I sort of see him making it once OP is finally over)

While some of these choices certainly deserve to be there (most notably Urasawa, Inoue and Toriyama), I don't believe the others have yet made a similar impact on the medium the way Tezuka did. Not to mention that most of these authors make shonen comics and their work mostly dates post 1990.
I see a severe lack of names like Yoshihiro Tatsumi, Jiro Taniguchi, Kazuo Koike, Goseki Kojima, Ryoichi Ikegami, Buronson, Go Nagai, Kazuo Umezu, Junko Mizuno, Junji Ito, Katsuhiro Otomo, Hideshi Hino, Kiriko Nananan, Keiko Takemiya, Keiji Nakazawa or Masamune Shirow.
You forgot about Takahashi Rumiko You can add them to the list of Hacks as well.
Regardless of what people might think of her recent output, Rumiko Takahashi is one of the few people who more than deserve a place in a manga museum.

I think I've been there.
There were lots of stuff there that made me :blink: like a substantial amount of cartoon porn, yet the displays were still open to people of all ages.
Anyways, I would be interested if it has English volumes…

What the fuck? What a sad attempt at a tourist attraction.

@Yahoo:
Japanese manga, ranging from classic Astro Boy and the Doraemon robot cat to the latest smash hit One Piece, a tale of a pirate boy, has charmed children and adults worldwide.
Fixed. One Piece is more of a smash hit in Japan than Narubo is. >_>

That really doesn't matter. The point of the article wasn't which title is the biggest hit, it was just naming examples. Besides, like it not, Naruto is still very popular in Japan (not to mention the rest of the world).

For some reason, even though I knew this was coming I still giggled a bit.
I think it's a swell idea! I would really want to see it, once it's done.

You know this could possibly include other artists as well, ones maybe from overseas , like China or Korea.
