h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.h2g2.com/A430309

Doing a search for anime and manga i noticed the lack of a entry on the both in general. Well here it is, folks!

I havn't read any manga, so I couldn't comment, but for the anime maybe a quick section on where to start, mention some of the better films. Say Akira (that really has to be mentioned), The Wings of Honamanisay?, Ghost in the Shell. Mayvbe mention how the beginner is not going to have a clue about what is going on the first time, but this is normal etc Just an idea Until later....

Ah, another good entry!
I'm not really an Anime/Manga fan, but I've seen Akira, Patlabors 1 & 2 and some film with lots of bikes and gore, which wasn't particularly great. I must say that Ghost in the Shell is one of my favourite films ever - I've recently analysed the opening scene for mediastudies, and it really is a work of art!

I especially like your Glossary section.

Here are a few thoughts I've got about the entry:
FAQ: 'than we do in the USA'. Possibly 'In the West' or another alternative to USA? I know we don't have a lot of nudity (okay, ANY) in UK kids cartoons! (Admittedly, most are actually US imports, so I suppose the comment still stands...)
Also, your brackets appear to have slipped in your "AKA hentai" comment.

Finally, as Cresent pointed out, how about more detail about famous Anime films that people should watch if they're interested? And Manga comics? And where are the best places to buy it?

way ahead of you. i added a section on buying, what the "classics" are, updated the glossary, and did something else i forgot about.

well done that man. I'll take a look-see when I have more time and nothing terribly important to revise for...

Suberb I would try and get rid of the US-centric shops etc. but that can be a job for the sub-ed This should have no bother becoming an Edited Guide Entry Good going Until later.....

so...what do i do now. do i just wait for the sub-ed to go through it or should i contact one.

What happens now is a Scout will come along and pick your Entry to go to the Edited Guide. It then gets passed to a Sub-Ed, who tidies it up, and then returns it to The Towers. They give it a once over, make sure everything is spot on, and put it onto the front page, and into The Edited Guide However, this may take a bit of time. The Sub-Eds are still going through the queue from the previous system, though they are more than half way through it now and the Scouts are only picking a handful a week, at the moment, so it may take a wee bit of time. Patience is the watchword Hope this helps, and if you have any more questions then please ask Until later....
