Okay, I was bored... lol. I had nothing to do at 12am so I just whipped up this crappy stamp. It is now 3:45 am. yaaay
("don't judge a MANGA [series]"? I think thats more correct... "a manga" sounds wrong >_>' sorry)

----------------------------------------------------------------

What's my purpose behind this stamp?(prepare for LONG rant. skip if desired)
It's the manganime equivilent of the old "Don't judge a book by it's movie!" saying. I mean, really! Am I the only one who gets pretty peeved at people who dislike a series based entirely on it's anime? Personally I don't really think that's fair to the Mangaka, OR the person. They're missing out on a potentially great read just because the anime isn't matching in quality (which is a pretty common sight actually).

Let's look at reasons why manga appeals to ME (and could appeal to someone who has tried the anime and disliked it):
It's transportable (you can take a laptop to most places, but opening a book is definatly MUCH easier)
has much better art [usually]
easy to access (if you own it, that is. It's the difference between walking over to your bookshelf OR booting up your computer, going to an anime site, finding the series and episode you want, then waiting for it to load)
quicker to get through
won't get you in as much trouble since it's actually reading haha
no crappy alternate endings (FMA or Soul Eater, anyone?)
naturally moves at a much faster pace
allows you to imagine the prefered voices and music you want
skip the uneccesary (and annoying as HELL) filler
be completly up to date in the series
see the "uncensored" series the way the author truly intended it
and so on and so forth.

Now, my intention for this stamp wasn't to make it anime VS. manga, but it's turning into that the more I type... anyways, I understand that people have different opinions and that many just prefer anime over manga in the first place - I know that there are many good anime series out there. I can respect opinions, and I don't really care all that much anyways (It's not like I've ever preached this to someone before... that I can remember lol). It's not like EVERY manga will appeal to EVERYONE, anyways. If you dislike the anime because of an annoying character or unappealing plot, then it's obviously not going to change much in the manga, and the series just isn't for you. All I'm saying is that I'm really lucky to have given the manga of so many series a chance, considering their exceptionally crappy anime counterparts.

I can wrap this back to the beginning and make you all feel sorry you ever wasted your time reading everything in the middle: "Don't judge a book by it's movie" which I KNOW we can all relate to. It's simple as that, just... Japan-ified!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding the technical stuff (It's my 2nd stamp, btw), I'm happy with it. I used GIMP - it was my first time using the program and was surprizingly easy once I got the hang of it...
And YES, I know "Choose MANGA!" sounds REALLY retarded, like some stupid federal election campaign ("CHOOSE LIBERAL!") but I didn't know what else to put there. The stamp didn't seem to have much meaning if it ended at the "ANIME" frame, and "Manga-reader and proud!" didn't fit or really make sense... So I went for Choose MANGA! because I couldn't think of anything else. lolololfwqyc`2g1 it actually makes me laugh every time it flashes by... "CHOOSE MANGA, ITS WHAT JESUS WOULD DO! "
something tells me no one really has a need for this stamp, expect me well its not like I update art much anyways. DEAL
