melative :: Making Media Relative

Media is already relative, so this title is slightly inaccurate. melative :: Making Media Relativity Social, would serve a better purpose. In any case, this will be the one post on media types considered “sectional” on melative. Here is the working list (alphabetically):

  • Anime - Japanese pop-culture symbol for many years globally
  • Artistry – art of the hand, covering 30-40 medium types
  • Asian Drama - very much like soaps
  • Blog – including, text, audio (podcasts), and video(vlog) formats
  • Cinema - movies, film, shorts and all things on screen
  • Comics + GN – comics, and graphic novels, non-Japanese
  • Light Novel – Japanese for of entertainment reading, similar to manga
  • Literature – classical and contemporary, covering novels, short stories, and more
  • Manga – Japanese graphic novels
  • Music – albums
  • Periodical – newspapers, magazines, etc
  • Poetry – songs, sonnets, and other forms (separate from literature)
  • Television – standard series and shows
  • Video Game

There will probably be other forms brought to attention down the road, but for now this is decent coverage. Questions or suggestions can be directed to the comment section, or e-mailed to suggest@melative.com.
