by now, weve all seen at least some animes taht are done by koreans. for me, the first one was samurai x, i was like, Wow, that animation kicks arse.
it was only a few months ago that i actually tied korean production with samurai x. and i was kinda shocked.
bleach, naruto, elfen lied, basilisk, speed grapher and izumo to name a few are korean works. dont get me wrong, i love to watch them, but i cant help wondering will anime eventually become a korean owned market?
that also led me to wonder how many and what series are actually korean produced, it also led to me wondering "maybe anime has finally got a competitor; korea," but then i thought "if lots of companies are swapping to cheaper korean animators, what will become of anime? will it cease to be a japanese only market? will the near future bring only ideas from japan and works from korea or other countries that will work?" anime may no longer be a unique japanese concept.
well let me know what u guys think about this.

I'm not a korean hit. I do watch some but the only animes that I like are ithose made by Japanese and Koreans. However the graphics are better the japanese ones. The ones that I can't bear to watch is those that Americans translated or createAmerican-Japanese. I lost interest after a few minutes.

Its all about the company. if its J company getting korean animators to do thier work then its still japanes.

its like american buisnesses that have companies in other country: theyed employ loads of foreign workers, but product would still be american.

Hope you understand crappy example.

Plus anime influenced cartoons arn't all that bad (samourai jack is decent)

I don't think anime series made by countries other than Japan would be any good... so I want the second one.

I don't know, my Korean friend has a lot of Korean 'manha' and they look pretty good. Drawings are excellent! But still I don't like the idea of Anime being made anywhere else but Japan. It should stay in Japan because that's where it was born and that's it's home.

Humans find pleasure in making creative works
its is only natural that some of those who enjoy manga, should try to make it on their own. Thasts whow mangakas spread their seed, through otakus with creative desires. It its what allow manga to exist.

Until some time ago, you could say that manga was mainly a japonese activity, so the mayority of those who consumed it and became potencial mangakas where only the japonese. But after the manga spread to the world, a new kind of otakus, foreing ones, arose. And a few of them had creatives desires and, surprise! they start making their own kind of manga.

Now we should ask, does it really matter where the a manga came from ?

What makes a good manga is a great story, interesting characters and good drawing ( well, that one depends in what you call good)

Now if I can read a story with all those things and I cant tell if its japonese or not, should I care if its really japonese? do I have to lose the stories of truly talented people only because they where not born in the right country?

But then I have to say that my opinion is not valid because I am one of those otakus with mangaka pretentions...hehe. If i speak against this, i may be losing pottencial clients in the future... ( I dont worry about being read only in the unlisenced way, true mangakas know the real money is in the merchandise they will buy anyway)

by the way, magaka is the name for those who make manga right? if not i just make me look like and idiot for 10 lines so please ignore me and forget you ever read this post

Yeah it probably will branch out to other countries. Anime is a big money maker but in the end I don't care as long as its good anime.

May be, may be not... But I don't mind too much as long as the over all result looks good. Confused

hmmm....i see that most guys here care about the end result and not the process. well, i guess that we're all entitled to our opinions. but im still gonna stick to my intuition and say that one day animation will be by ruled by the koreans and traditional japanese animation will all in the past.

thats strange, i was kinda expecting pyro to duck his head in somewhere...

I was never aware that manga was only made in Japan in the first place, but from different parts of Asia. You mention Korea but not china or any other countries. The whole thing with mange doesn't seem any different to me than with American commics. There are some manga with a more american adaption of drawing or even a 3D or realistic type drawing. I don't particulary like some author's drawing style, so I don't care where it comes from, just the end result.
