What Anime is popular with Korean High school boys?
« on: February 27, 2012, 02:13:35 pm »
Hi,

I'm planning a lesson on emotions and thought it would be fun to use poplar anime characters my students are interested in...but I don't know anything about anime, and even less about Korean anime.

Any links or popular series/TV shows/movies would be helpful

Cheers!  :D

It really depends

I have found that Starcraft always works.
Manga, I have notice them rad are the usual: One PIece, Bleach, Hitman Reborn, Death Note ( all of these have well-known animes)

you might also try some the webtoons (webcomics), which are prolific on Naver
i suggest: Noblesse, TAL, Superior Day, etc

if not, just walk past them casually when they r on break, most will b online reading/watching something on their smartphones

One Piece!  Hands down!
"-Isms in my opinion are not good.  A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself.  I quote John Lennon, 'I don't believe in Beatles.  I just believe in me.'  A good point there.  After all, he was the walrus.  I could be the walrus, I'd still have to bum rides off of people."

Naruto and one piece would have to be the top.  Death note too.  They also have a bunch of korean mangas they read but I don't know too much about that.
