It's really a good conclusion of what we've done this time. @Mike: I think that's really a good topic, maybe even subtly provocative - however, it's maybe a little bit unfair to only refer to American culture. In my opinion, Europe and America are not much less different than America and Japan (anti-americanism ahoi, you know, sad thing but true), and if you have ever been in a french or italian manga shop, you would also be able to perceive the difference in tastes compared to americans.

I just do what I love. :) One of these days, somebody should also write an article about the differences between what's popular in Japan vs what's popular with English anime bloggers vs what's popular in mainstream American culture too.
