   I just started reading my first manga ("Cromartie H.S.") and noticed that,   
   obviously, the form has been influenced by traditional comic books and   
   animated and live-action film/TV techniques, and I began to wonder: What are   
   some Anime and Manga storytelling and graphic/technical techniques that have   
   shown up in films? Are there some good web sites or print sources that deal   
   with this? I've always been interested in how different media affect each   
   other, and especially how techniques become internalized to the point where   
   the practitioners don't even know where the influence has come from. For   
   example, there are probably many film directors working today who know   
   nothing about the rule of thirds or the development of the close-up. Anyway,   
   thanks for your help.
