I have heard of Pani Poni Dash the anime but have not watched it yet. I haven't seen the manga available anywhere though, I'll take a look and see if I can find it though.
Anime outside of Japan is mostly from downloads, I prefer Raw unsubtitled. There is also a anime shop near my house that rents DVDs, I usually don't watch these becuase they are a year or two behind.
Manga, I am limited to downloads and my local Kinokuniya book store. The selection is rather limited though. I do go back to Japan occasionally and buy a bunch of manga once in a while.
How are you getting your anime and manga outside Japan?

I'm watching Evangelion now. It is so nice.(o^_^)o
Don't underestimate old anime...
As for manga, I like bleach and negima.
>How are you getting your anime and manga outside Japan?
Almost all bookstores sell manga, and there are many used-manga shop in Japan.
Anime is on TV every week.(of course)
I haven't bought anime DVD, but Evangelion may be the first one...
sorry the bad English.*bow*

Evangelion is an awesome anime. I still remember watching it on a high quality 1st generation fansub VHS. I am currently reading the Evangelion manga, but it is being released so slowly.
Beach is pretty good too. As for Negima, I have tried reading it, but it just isn't as good as Love Hina so I'm not enjoying it as much.
I wish I could watch anime on high quality broadcast, you are soo lucky, instead I am stuck watching a Divx copy, and the quality sometimes suck. Luckily, buying DVDs in the US is very cheap.
And your English is quite good.

In the last few years, there have been more and more US translated manga or "graphic novels". Usually, the translation is bad and sometimes the images are heavily edited. They are very expensive as well, most selling at $9.99. It is interesting that they are selling in Japan, I wonder what the reason for selling these in Japan are.
BTW, have you heard about the edits in Tenjo Tenge, I hear they are so bad that many people are boycotting the company that released it.
I live in a asian community in California so I see alot of the Chinese/Korean translated manga as well. Sometimes I see alot more of the Chinese/Korean than the Japanese version.

The Tenjo Tenge Boycott seems to be because of edits rather than the translation. But I think i will save the discussion for another thread/topic.
I have noticed that the Chinese/Korean version of manga are cheap here in the US as well. I have to pay a markup of about 30-50% for JDM at my local stores, so I prefer to pick them up in Japan when I get the chance.
I guess the USDM graphic novels do work for conversational English. There used to be a bilingual Japanese/English version in Japan of a few series like Card Captor Sakura, but I haven't seen any new ones in a while, maybe because of licensing issues. I always felt these bilingual ones were a good way to practice English/Japanese.

Are translated manga about 10$? realy? Children can't buy them constantly...
I have no idea about Tenjo Tenge boycott...I have watced Tenjo Tenge anime only in Japanese version.
IMO, The reason for selling translated manga in Japan is, for learning English.
some people try to learn English by translated manga.
look here http://mixi.jp/view_community.pl?id=271006
and one question,
What is exact meaning of USDM and JDM?
U.S. domestic market?

Yup.. most of the translated manga are have a SRP(suggested retail price) of $9.99. Some of the more popular series such as Naruto are a bit cheaper.
Many people in various age groups seem to be buying manga not only children. I have seen many people in their 20s and 30s buying the translated manga at events like Anime Expo. And there seems to be alot of manga in the USAToday weekly best seller list. http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/usatodaybooks.pdf
>J. G. Yu
I have heard the term US domestic market and Japanese domestic market quite often, but they seem to be terms used by people in the industry rather than normal consumers.
In this situation, it might be easier and more understandable to use "Japanese version" and "English version". (ie. English version of the manga)

Hi guys~.(I didnt notice such a long thread for ages..)So it took quite long to catch up them.
>>IMO, The reason for selling translated manga in Japan is, for learning English.

Yeah,I think most of translated manga are for the people who are interested in studying English. Also I saw the couner(does it right spell!?) which is for English learner in bookshop.
And its pretty expensive,even if I bought it Japan and AUstrali.Those are like 1000 yen to 1500 yen...
Currently I like Ragnarok series.I think those series are published by Tokyo pop!? I like the style of "Ragnarok into the abis". Its a little bit different from Japanese style though.

Yes, I saw that anime. I didn't know if it was Korean or Chinese though, thanks for the information.
There have been some Korean and Japanese collaboration anime recently and I think we will start seeing a lot more in the future.
I also saw a Korean booth for manhwa at Comic Con San Diego a few months ago. I forget the name of the compnay but their booth was pretty big.
It is exciting to see the asian countries having a bigger impact on the western market. I just hope Japan doesn't wall behing.
