Anime-tastic asked: I want to become a publisher for Japanese manga, but i don’t want to start as a grunt that doesn’t know anything. What company would be best to start work for after I get a degree to get some field work experience? What degree would the publishing world look really highly on and respect if I started my own publishing firm? My main focus would be manga. I love managing things and planning. Were should I start? Thank you to anyone in advance that helps!
brad schepp asked:
Do you collect comics for fun or profit? Well if you’re like most collectors, it’s a little of both. Regardless, if you think that one day you may sell some or all of your comics (and it seems many of us do) you may want to learn more about “slabbing.” Slabbing is the process of having your comics professionally graded, and then encased between two sheets of hard plastic (some sources identify this plastic as “Barex”, but there’s some controversy as to what type of plastic it is). A special paper that prevents acidification is tucked into the comic as part of this process. Slabbing protects the comic from weather extremes, mositure, dust, and all the other things that can decrease a comic’s value.
Collectors both love and hate slabbing–there is no middle ground. First, here’s why they love it. Slabbing protects a comic indefinitely (no one knows for how long exactly, as the process is so new). Once slabbled you don’t have to worry that your prized Superman, Batman, X-Men, Spiderman, or Archie comic will lose its value, or any of its “eye appeal.” That’s a big plus! Also the slabbing company (Comics Guaranty, LTD or CGC is the major one, although there are others) will grade your comic as part of the process. Grades are on a .5 to 10-point scale with .5 being poor and 10 being Mint. When you’re looking to value and/or sell your comics it’s a great advantage to have it graded. It’s much easier to sell a comic if you can say it’s a CGC 6.0, instead of “in my opinion it’s in Fine condition.” I know this from personal experience and from talking to other sellers, including those selling comics, for my book eBay PowerSeller Secrets.
Now, here’s why some collectors hate slabbing. Once a comic is slabbed you can’t read it! You can’t take it out from between the plastic that encases it without destroying the seal that the grading company puts along the top of the case. Once that seal is broken the grade is no longer guaranteed. That makes sense because if you take it out you may change its condition somehow, thus reducing its grade. (Although I think most collectors would be careful enough not to harm their comics.) So if you are going to slab a comic you have to get used to the idea that forever it will be encased between plastic sheets. You’ll still be able to see its front and back covers but you won’t be able to page through it. That’s a tough thing to get used to. Also, slabbing ain’t cheap. Depending primarily on the comic’s age it can easily set you back $50 once you figure in shipping and insurance. And here’s something that’s not discussed all that much: the cases get scratched easily, and when light hits those scratches your beautifully encased comic doesn’t look so hot. New cases aren’t as expensive as the original ones if the comics don’t have to be regraded, but you still have to pay for shipping and insurance to CGC and back.
There are more pros and cons to this slabbing business but those are the main ones.
My advice? Slab Golden Age comics that are worth at least $150. (Because more modern comics are cheaper to slab, you may consider slabbing one of those if its current value is $100 or so.) It’s worth the cost in the long run and at $150, a comic is a pretty valuable investment, which will likely appreciate over time. There’s great peace of mind that comes from knowing your comic will not lose any value after you slab it (barring a change in market conditions, of course). If you want to be able to read your comic, you can also search the web for a PDF version of it. These are available from newsgroups devoted to the hobby. Or you can buy one of those printed compilations of old comics.
Enjoy your hobby! Comics are a snapshot of American pop culture, just like magazines or fashions. Besides they can bring back some great memories.
Tara b asked:
I love those animes because they are funny but not too much of a joke. They are also not perverted and have an outside evil force or bad guy. You can notice they all three have main characters with special powers or abilities. I also love anime that are romantic and serious sometimes. So please, if you can find an anime with all these qualities or close to themwrapped into one, that would be awesome! I’m picking best answer so thanks so much for the help.
Neko asked:
I’m 15 years old and I would really love to voice act in an anime. I don’t even care if it is a small part like part of a crowd cheering, I just really want to be able to say, “Hey that’s my voice!” or something like that you know? Just something. Does anyone know where I can audition?
Maikeru asked:
Ive seen Eden of the East, Phantom Requiem for the Phantom, and Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (Looking up at the Half-Moon). I NEED MORE anime series or movies to watch where the 2 main characters are a boy and a girl and fall in love.
La di da asked:
I love this manga, but I don’t want to end up buying like 60000 books! Can somebody tell me how many volumes there are, and maybe if you like you can tell me if you think it’s worth buying the whole series.
Black Winged Assassin asked: Or one or the other?
So, what’s your reason?
Don’t put something so simple, and no idiotic answers either.
And, please, if you don’t like anime and manga, do not answer this question. You’re just wasting your own time and everyone elses.

Or should I stop anime/manga and marry a person who doesn’t love it and enjoys other things.
