As a Canadian I feel the need to apologize

All colours have been seen before.

I am not informed enough (nor care enough) about the animation industry to offer a fair arguement.

 

Such a good show

 

That's France bro.

 

Looks like Lucky Star but terrible.
But since it's similar in concept to something awesome, it's a lower degree of terrible than it could be.

 

You also gave us Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, and Nickelback. But I guess it's a tie with the many teen-idols America has mass produced over the past few years.

 

A huge chunk of the shows that I watched when I was a kid was either Franco-Japanese or Franco-Japano-American.

That's not a lot of shows.

 

Well, I didn' t bother to find them all (a lot of DIC animation shows were Franco-American), and at the time there wasn' t nearly as much shows or channels as there are now (six channels tops in France at the time, I only had three). Times they are a changin ...

Also, Osamu Tezuka, who basically invented manga, copied Walt Disney' s art style. No wonder Disney eventually riped off his Lion King story (Kimba the White Lion).

 

I don't see what your point is
That people are insipred by different things?

Lol, sorry, I don' t do hair-pulling, I don' t scratch, I don' t bite. ^^

Basically yes, though I' m not a big fan of obvious manga style rip-offs either.
