I just saw a tv-ad for TokyoPop and manga, with like 3 different manga titles and lots of stylish pic-flashing. It was an ad aimed at the teen market, and it used the word "manga" !
If anything, that's what I love about anime and manga getting more popular these days. The people who liscence stuff are calling it manga and anime, not japanese comics and japanimation.
I'm kinda buzzed about all this main-streamy-ness. I know the purists bitch about things like this, but honestly having the manga and anime translated means I get to see more titles than I ever would have otherwise. Wheeeee.
