I really enjoyed many of the Physical and Visual aspects of Manga.
however this should be said... when inspired by another culture to create a show, please be aware that making that culture's language into half-french, half-Japanese Gibberish is not a very good start.
as an asian man, I could not help but be offended at the lack of attention to that. (Why wasn't the whole show just in French? that would have made sense.) Yelling things like "JACUZZI!!" and "STATiiiCK" ...and hearing the audience chuckle to it... it IS 2011, right?
And also, in your Fringe-Moi videos you have a puppet that is in a Minstrel-like Blackface, with a Sambo-Golliwog appearance... How is this still funny in Quebec in 2011? I don't find it in good taste at all.
I've enjoyed this company's work over the years, but if the string of cultural jabs continues from Belzebrutes, then you've just lost a fan. sorry. but, congrats on all of your success.
