Japanese Transformers fangirls are just into slash as western Transformers fangirls. I think they might have some sort of subbers for TFP, because it doesn't air over there, and some of these artists have goddamn horrible engrish, which makes me doubt they're just watching/understanding it in english.

Yasuhiro Nightow is a huge American comics nerd. Trigun has featured a cameo from Grifter from Wildcats (on a bottle of whiskey Wolfwood drinks). I'd swear one random enemy character Vash fights had Hellboy's right hand of doom. I know when Nightow did a bonus comic in the back of one volume, he talked about meeting favorites like Mignola and Jim Lee at San Diago Comic Con. Of course he beamed about MacFarline making a Vash figure in another early volume. Plus in another bonus comic he referenced Boston based comedy costume wrestling Kaiju Big Battel. That was rather an obscure bit of American pop culture to see in a manga. I got this very Mignola-esque Trigun poster of Wolfwood

There's a small but growing and dedicated niche fanbase for western comics and cartoons. A lot of our shows get dubbed and aired on their TV stations, and out comic book heroes get a lot of mainstream exposure through movies and such, but there's actually a scanlating community and stuff for people who are really into this stuff. Search for アメコミ on pixiv and you get hundreds of pages of art. Even more if you look for specific heroes and teams like the X-Men or Batman.

>>32072937 .....so Minecraft is our Touhou?
Well ignoring that Minecraft is actually Swedish... still...
I think one should be inclined to look at the result as opposed to the source. MLP certainly produces the ammount of crazy fan stuff that compares with Touhou.

>>32092003 No, the Japanese do not refer to each other as Japs, they do not refer to each other as Nips either. The only reason niggers are ok with calling each other niggers is because they had to live in close proximity with the people calling them that so under the circumstances embracing the term and making it their own was a somewhat valid method of adapting, even if it didn't really work in the long run anyway.

>>32108304 I doubt that. We had one thread where the OP was japanese guy who wanted to talk about his comic book interests and the DC New 52. Aside from that, I was always under the assumption /co/ had a ton of Britfags.

>>32108443 We, we have a lot and I mean a lot of British people in here with a hint of Russian/German. What's funny but makes sense is that /co/ has the largest amount of... how to say this accurately timed visitors?
So when Europe are waking up/coming home from work, there's a large influx of Europeans. Same can be said for the East. However when the Eastern Anons come in, they rarely talk or type and the ones that do are usually can be found in the drawthreads or the popular Generals like MLP and Gumball and holy fuck, all does MLP Eastern General pings.

>>32108581 So I don't talk to brits because I'm asleep when they're posting?

>>32108619 Correct. And again I'm generalizing here, there are tons of people on here all the time from all over the world man. I'm just talking about highs and lows and who you're going to meet. So when Europeans are awake and active you're most likely headed for bed and when you wake up and getting ready for work and chatting on /co/, our Euro brothers are taking showers/eatting dinner and getting ready for bed.

There are professional westaboos too. Naoki Urasawa has more or less been confirmed as a Germanophile, and his current running comic has taken place mostly in America.

>>32108782 From what I've seen, there appear to be more black people in manga than in comics at times.
Kinda refreshing that to Japan, most Western cultures are about equally exotic and interesting, and their perception of the world isn't necessarily dominated by America. WW2 created a lot of German ties.

>>32109489 i'll explain it this way then
if you live in north america, a canteloupe is a melon with orange flesh, and a distinct flavor
if you live in the rest of the world, canteloupe is a melon with green flesh and a similar flavor
in english we dont differentiate these two melons, we call both canteloupe

>>32109965 scientifically, cantaloupe is the same species as muskmelon and honeydew
the point is, in chinese they had a word for the orange cantaloupe, and a word for the green one
we just have one word, even though they're obviously not the same
