When Mrs. Archer first presented to the class about setting up Google Alerts for things we might be interested in and want information on, she had us set up one for 'Technology', however, I took it to my own advantage and set up a few other alerts for things i knew i really wanted information on. Today, i spotted this one:
http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/26/manga-in-the-heart-of-europe/
The author of the blog talks about their trip to Europe, how they stayed with the kind locals during the night and toured during the day. She talks of how amazing it is that she got the chance at an up close look on how manga/anime is growing just as strong as it is anywhere else in the world.
"..I flipped through “Peach Girl” at the bookstore in Wiesloch. I checked out “Bleach” at a bookshop in Heidelberg not far from Heidelberg Castle, which you can see in Naoki Urasawa’s “Monster.” I could go into a mall, say, “anime,” and be pointed in the right direction. I didn’t have much time for television watching, but I did see “One Piece” in German and “Naruto” in French. And, yes, I bought myself “Yu-Gi-Oh Der Film” from the fair.."
I find this really interesting because it just goes to show you just how popular this stuff really is; it has gone global! :D that way everyone around the world can create their own manga 'addiction'.
I've seen somewhere, and I somewhat agree, a sentence that says:
"Anime: Drugs would be cheaper."
The only problem is, is that it just wouldn't be nearly as fun nor entertaining!!
keep the 'addiction' spreading, everyone! :D
Good for you for setting up alerts on things that are interesting to you!!!! That is the whole point. We want to let the info start coming to us, rather than always having to search it out. I am glad you found something interesting. When using my alerts, I found many sources and blogs that I would never have found on my own. In fact, I follow some of the blogs that I originally found through my Alerts.
