About Manga Gothic Media
Manga Gothic Media prides itself on the policy that every product, service or idea comes with creative ideas, contribution and efficiency. It also prides itself on the policy that the creative process needn't cost the Earth. Though primarily into animation and Graphic Design, Manga Gothic Media provides services that go beyond plain entertainment, from data entry to education. We feel that the best way forward is not the mediocrity of necessity, but the creative flow of both the product and it's progress. We keep you updated every step of the way, and we enjoy continuous feedback from our clients. Without it we feel we would stagnate as a creative force and a company that doesn't evolve fails to continue to be creative.
Entertainment
We have always enjoyed both being entertained and entertaining, it's part of the spice of life. So Manga Gothic doesn't shy away from taking part in contributing to the entertainment field. Already we have started work on our first feature length production, "Manga Gothic: The Move", from which we got the company name. The reason we chose a manga/anime influence for our first production was due largely to that which inspired us. We are children of the eighties, and we remember the old days of Transformers, G.I. Joe, Battle of the Planets and even Speed Racer. It was those cartoons that partly inspired us, but also Macross, Megazone 23, Gunbuster, etc were also very influential on us, so it made sense to pay tribute to that which inspired us to create and entertain, and even though our business is across all genres, we would be more ashamed not to pay tribute
Education
Education covers two aspects for our company. First of all we like to educate that anyone can achieve anything. They can create their own movie, animation, comic book. They can start their own enterprise, business or even design. With that in mind, Manga Gothic Media will be running regular podcasts on how to achieve what big time hollywood studios are achieving on a regular basis. Whether your budget is none existent to high end, we'll show you where to start, how to start and where to go on from there. It's a big world of opportunity out there, and it takes imagination and effort to grab it.
The second aspect is helping others to educate. We offer tools and experience to help your company or class to educate others, by creating step by step animation videos which can be run either through a presentation of graphics or presented by a virtual character. This character can be anything from a 2 dimensional avatar to a 3D character. The only limit is that of your imagination.

fantasy is very small, one can always

As you can see the website has been through a major overhaul and was in desperate need of an update. And why not, some exciting projects ahead with our first official DVD title in the works, "Manga Gothic Classics: The War of the Worlds and the Crystal Egg". Yes the Manga Gothic Movie is still in production but has taken somewhat of a back seat with the interest in the TWOTW project growing momentum. The links are somewhat the same, but the site has been tidied up. Also feel free to join the new forum and contribute, show off your work or simply to chat and ask questions about MGM or life in general.
The blogs in the menu bar will link you to to the most up to date information on the projects we are working on. These projects take time and effort and hopefully you can learn something about the process that goes into the production of an animated project of any size.
Also you may have noticed our new toy of choice. MGM is now a full supporter of Open Source Software, particularly we are a fan of Blender 3D and so we shall not only utilizing that in all our future projects but also giving you plenty of tutorials in the near future on how to start and flourish with this amazingly adaptive software.
So take up a cup of coffee, browse though our site, take advantage of our services or simply enjoy one of the many animations we shall be showcasing in our video section. Make no doubt about it, exciting times are ahead for Manga Gothic Media.
