That's also why in anime,VOICE ACTING is KEY. That's also why they sell drama CD's for manga reading.
I would consider it in more of the Drama/Fine arts field,but it's still an art,nonetheless.
Although drawing it took me my whole life to master.

I understand this, and I am merely, "reporting" I guess I should call it, what I have personally heard from my fellow colleges. Yes, not ALL otakus are that way. I did not say that. But we cannot deny there are people that behave like that, and the group that does irritates many people, among them, artists.
And yes, I agree manga/anime
IS art, like I said in my first statement. I DO, however, have to stand by my opinion in that the manga style is mostly formulated and much easier to master than, say, painting realism and the stereotypical "fine art paintings."
