I never imagined how this would apply to images. Fascinating! I wonder what other art has a totally different tone to native RTL readers.
I learned this from hentai
I mean manga
Sure
But to be serious for a moment, I just happen to be watching The Great War Of Archimedes right now and it is only now dawning on me how much of the action takes place from right to left.
Now, I believe this film was based on a Manga, so it is less surprising that it would inherently adopt that visual language, but now I am going to be watching all Japanese cinema more closely to see how fundamentally RTL impacts the approach to film making.
Switching hands doesn't count.
