Yea, the rates have increased (about Rs 50 per mag.) but stuff like Tinkle are nowhere close to japanese manga.

Jeez! seriously.....when the heck will ppl out here grow up. In terms of geography, we're closer to japan as compared to the west, yet anime/manga fans are like an extinct species out here

[Surabhi931231]

Manga and Anime have a potential to create a huge market for themeselves out here but unfortunately Indian families tend to be orthodox and wudn't like us to read stuff where teens are seen romancing each other...and yeah they won't spend hundreds for a single volume and rather buy us a Tinkle for Rs 30......lolz

As an Indian myself and being a great JapanHolic, as I love everything about the Japanese culture, including anime,manga,enka, Jrock\Visual Kei,etc... I feel that manga and anime need to be more exposed to our Indian society. I feel conducting anime meets as well as most importantly cosplays and various anime competitions will help bring a lot of Indians to love anime.

im a new indian otaku (watched 74 animes in 8 months)...gives up on TV, the good stuff is getting band in Tokyo..so just watch online and about ur eng dub.......WTF thats horrible, just watch it in jap dub with eng subs( i doubt there many hindi subs anywhere)

We have to make anime and manga more popular and widely available throughout india.

if this means placing the story in a specifically indian cultural/historical context then that's fine.

I think India can embrace anime and manga, as well as the rest of the world, as the most dominant form of animation.

@laparlahsayang That was pretty good, I do remember! One of my first anime movie! :)

I got into anime and manga when I was 6. I started demanding manga and my parents hardly had any idea about what I wanted. As I grew up I got a few websites to read from. But I was still interested in looking out for manga in the Indian market. I visited a few bookstores like Landmark, Crossword etc. I found just 5 or 6 that were very expensive. Well, we need publishers who can produce manga at low prices so that they can bought at the nearest bookstore or something like that.

@forgottenmemories63 thanks a lot, I found videos about "history of prince ram", that suit quite well what I was looking for! The language does not matter, because I will use it for music clips!

@Aryeztur I watched what you said, it is definitly closer to san seya than to what i was expecting from "indian" graphics, although I must admit the story is clearly linked to indian mythology. And as I said, what counts for me is the graphics, as I am looking for sources for music clips!

@hireegy This is a series called Rg Veda based on the stories of Vedic devas. I've never read or watched it so I don't know how it is but it was pretty popular.
