Arguement: Japanese names in American made comics | Gaia Online | Thread profile

This is a fairly consistent opinion I have about this forum, and rather than going through various threads and complaining, I thought it might be more productive to create a separate thread to discuss it. I...

I completely agree. I'm tired of stories featuring Sakura Hitsusukinaimewasakawaiidesu!!!!!!! I mean, some stories set in Japan are good dramas, but usually they come a dime a dozen with the new Wapanese fad. I personally love using French, Italian, and German names in my comics, though I do my best to have the characters have a past ...

Japanese names do annoy me (especially when used in a rather unreasonable way when they use it on non-Japanese people or use nonsensical meanings or are otherwise vastly unresearched.

"Bakutenryu" Well, I use Japanese names anyway due to the fact that manga(Japanese-style comics)originate from Japan and I am Japanese. Plus, IMO using Japanese names are fun if you actually know how to use them,write them,know what they mean, and pronounce them. Also, I reccomend if your going to use Japanese names, DO NOT try to ...

"Bakutenryu" *sighs at someone misunderstanding* I mean if your going to use Japanese terms and names, atleast know some Japanese. Well that is why I asked... In that case, I certainly don't disagree with you.
