No doubt manga and anime have a strong if not eternal foothold in many cultures outside of Japan these days. While the majority of American adults, for example, wouldn’t be caught dead reading manga in public, their children’s’ lives are a universe removed from that sentiment.
In Japan, Tokyo University Hospital is using this generation-binder (manga) to depict a young pediatrician who is eager to save children’s lives.
No doubt, many cultures around the world dismiss this manga/anime genres as being filthy, violent and sexually titillating. But there is equally no doubt that to reach the young generation, any means at our disposal must be used.
Manga could be used to teach manners, finances, appropriate and inappropriate touching to name just a few applications. Moreover, it could be used to reach children for the promotion of products and services.
If you have dismissed the manga/anime genre as being unrelated to you or foul or for morons, you best reconsider. The future will see it used to promote and market every conceivable product or service.
Jump on board now. Remember that time when, as a child, you asked your Mom or Dad where babies came from? Watch this video for an example of how anime can be used to give a humorous twist on birth.
