Sorry if this is in the wrong section - no doubt someone can move it to the right place.
I've just started a new column on Giggle Beats (for whom I write their TV and radio columns), covering comedy anime and manga (Japanese animation and comics).
The reason for this column is because I'm rather keen on my anime. I actually work as a manga reviewer for a magazine called MyM, and I'm the secretary of my local anime convention (Nemacon in Middlesbrough).
I want to try and prove to people that comedy from non-English speaking countries can be just as good as comedy from America. If I can get at least one person interested, it will be worth it.
The column is monthly and currently working on a three-month trial. I wrote an introductory column last week. The first article proper went online today, and covers the first comedy anime I ever saw, a sci-fi comedy called Maritan Successor Nadesico.
The second column will cover a romantic comedy, Ouran High School Host Club, and the third will cover a surreal comedy, FLCL.
I should point that the image at the top of the article comes from an anime which isn't a comedy. I think my editor picked it just because it's of someone laughing. I'm trying to get some specially commissioned art to go into the top instead.
