Ekta Kapoor is JAPANESE

MANGA means comics in Japanese and is consiered to be the oldest form of comic books. Of Japanese origin, it consists of HENTAI (those non-adult types, adult types are a major though), Super-man types, etc. They have a really wide array of comics ranging form and to every type of situation and characters possible. Japan leads the Cartoon industry due to a strong background of the Manga and have amazing cartoons also based on them. DragonballZ (I personally love that), PokeMon, BenTen, all are based on Manga or are Manga.. as Manga has evolved into television.. you name em, you have em...

Ekta Kapoor is the undisputed leader of family soaps.. Her soaps according to me majorly are about 10 hours of crying (it surely seems 10), one or two influential BABES who manage to pull themselves into seemingly impossible situations and get out of that with amazingly simple solutions, unimportant and dud characters. It bears resemblance to Manga in each and every way.
Any one who has a minimum exposure of 1 hour watching ANIMAX or for that matter Cartoon Network with aforementioned shows should relate to this discussion.

Here are the startling similarities:

1. Eye candy: Ekta Kapoor has highly desirable characters in her soaps. Every Gal/Guy is desireable. Lead characters have to be one of the most beautiful. The BABES dress like there's no tomorrow, even the bhaji-wali bai has a designer dress. Ladies (pay attention here) strut their stuff with 500gm make-up, even grand-moms are desireable to Birju Kaka. Manga too offers its viewers beautiful characters catering to every type of demand.

2. Zoom cameras: Manga wins marginally here. Ekta Kapoor's cameras ultra-zoom into their object such that they put an electron microscope to shame. They are ultra-fast too, producing a sonic boom every time they zoom. Manga for that case has the same capabilities but at a slower pace, capturing every micro-millimetre facial change. Zooming from the end-of-the-universe to the footwear of the character.. How extensive can you get? Zoom angels are absurd though.

3. Impossible situations: Manga has amazingly diverse impossible situations in its cartoons although, the solutions may or may not be simple. Its characters come out with a winning note nevertheless, maybe for the kids to learn fine aspects of creativity (the 'Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost' scenario). Ekta Kapoor for that matter offers impossible situations with simple solutions but the same tried n tested 'Damsel In Distress' scenario (Men liberation activists cry foul).

4. Backgrounds: Ekta kapoor offers lavish sets but puny outdoor scenarios. Manga offers awesome outdoor scenarios. They range from Impossible planets which restore themselves after destruction after every commercial break.

5. Background score: Ekta Kapoor's are filed up with a wide array of scores ranging from OSO's ost to 007's theme. Except the serial verse, every piece of music used is plagiarised. Manga for that instance is original in every aspect. Every score is lisensced for that cartoon. Take DraganballZ's score, Its awesome!!! Its by LINKINPARK themselves. Manga has good scores, hence it wins here.

6. Slow Motion: Manga is much better in this area. They have ultra slow motion where you can even draw an En-I reaction graph of those elements being affected (Chem students know what I am talkin about). They have an ultra slow motion at every phase change in the serial/cartoon. Even Matrix triology as no-competition to them. EK's are a bit dud here. Low speed cameras ultra-zoom but are not so smooth.. be it tying a mangal-sutra or a fall of a glass of milk on the floor (you can even count the drops spilled if you pay attention), those cameras capture all but are not smooth.

The conclusion: Ekta Kapoor is from JAPAN. She has minutely understood the Manga like the back-of-her-hand. And one can only do that if you are among them. If she's got an INDIAN citizenship, authorities should take action.

Her soaps suck. Manga ROCKS. I love Hentai..... the non-adult part of course.

Research students can get an A grade if they just copy-paste this material for themselves.. Please send monetary benefits to me if you stand to gain any advantage from this.
