Unsourced

How is this a B-class article? Many sections contain no references at all. We have assertions for various series' popularity without citing any ratings. We mention regional differences in the genre and its formats, without citing any reliable sources. This seems to be original research, and likely reflects the POV of Wikipedia's editors.
