I'm having an argument with Neil Gaiman.


...maybe

About what?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Whether Yoshikata Amano should be classified as a mangaka in a wiki. I was saying he wasn't a mangaka, so he should be in an Artist category - which doesn't exist yet.

And now he's mocking me for being French. XD

[keelieinblack.livejournal.com]

Wow! I would think that would seem very surreal.

(I'm leaning towards your side of the argument, by the way--I'd categorize Amano as an artist/illustrator/designer. For him to be a mangaka, wouldn't he have to actually, er, draw a manga?)

Got a link?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Yes, well. He did work in animation at the very least.

You must open the Mangaka discussion.

Totally surreal. O_o

The mangaka discussion.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. It's not me you're arguing with, sorry.

Neil Gaiman

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

which you is that?

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I get a Japan location on your IP address so I guess you're the same person as on the TV Tropes Wiki. But not really Neil Gaiman?

[keelieinblack.livejournal.com]

But Neil is in Japan right now, isn't he?

...this is becoming quite strange.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

that's why people at the wiki believed it was the real Neil. But that cryptic message makes me doubt it (more) ^_^

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

The Internets are surely strange today o_O

Why would the real Neil lurk and/or edit at TV Tropes? He's out there doing cooler things and meeting cool people and cuddling cool animals. I say it's a Gaiman fanboy sockpuppeting.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Likely.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

"I'm done with uploading my photos at GHIBLI with Hayao Miyazaki on my blog. What should I do now? Of course, I'll troll at a discussion page at a wiki, signed with my real name!" <- Yeah, totally picturing Neil by that logic.

I've seen people calling themselves with mangaka names (for instance, Mokona Apapa) at message boards. This is why it's not so surprising to me.

[darksumomo.livejournal.com]

WTF?

[dizilla.livejournal.com]

XD Funny. Though I agree he's not a mangaka. He would be a Comic Illustrator/Artist.

[miss-sand.livejournal.com]

Donc les mangaka ne sont pas des artistes ?

:P

"les classifications c'est tout des conneries !"

(so mangakas are not artists ? :P
"Classifications are bullshit")

[dizilla.livejournal.com]

You're using an if/then absolute statement. I never said mangaka aren't artists (tho some of them I wouldn't consider as such for their quality.), I only said //he// isn't. Anyone who is an artist isn't a mangaka either. In this world, classifications are essential in everyday life, hence etrangere having an argument with "Neil Gaiman". =P

I'm going to see four tori amos shows in two months.

just thought I'd share.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

you bastard!

[miss-sand.livejournal.com]

Sorry, it was a general phrase, not a response to your specific comment. I miss the rigth "answer" button.

But I maintain classifications are bullshit :P
