Richard,
What I find interesting is its application in education. I spoke with a teacher who teaches O and A' level classes. She said that within recent years, the size of these classes has grown as more students are being enrolled into them. Many of these students have very short attention spans, preferring to watch videos and listen to iPods, rather than read textbooks.
Imagine if comics/anime could be used as a vehicle to teach subjects, such as a comic about Carmen Sandiego to teach world geography, or one about Caribs and Arawaks to teach Caribbean History, or even comics to teach the fundamentals of physics or chemistry.
It just may put the fun back into learning.
