Be prepared for manga to become unaffordable for anyone who cares about the medium (USER WAS BANNED FOR TWITTER SHIT)
I wish normalfags had never discovered anime
>>287645492>for anyone who cares about the mediumthe Japanese have always treated physical manga as disposable, they wouldn't give a shit about muh original copiesdon't forget to kill yourself on the way out
>>287645492This is so funny because the shitty American score and letters on this only make it lose even more value to me than the original.
>>287645517Those are shows that aired on Cartoon Network in the late 90s to early 2000s. Meaning. The normalfags discovered it before your zoomer ass was born.
>>287645492if you care about the medium you won't buy a copy you can never read for fear of it losing arbitrary value and "score," you buy a copy and read it until it's completely ruined from reading it too muchyour argument makes no fucking sense
>>287645542I would rather side with non-normalfag young people than with older normalfags.

>>287645492I don't think most people who go out of their way to buy the original magazines (not sure what the exact term even is) from decades ago represent manga fans in general. I occasionally buy some for much less money than the dude in the picture in order to collect a specific mangaka's work that isn't available online/in tankoubon form, and I feel like a dumb autist at times for even doing that since it's more effort than reading a single chapter is probably actually worth.

>>287646163This one is cope. By the early 2000s, 2001 or so, 8th MS Team and Outlaw Star had their Japanese endings playing. That anime was japanese was known among the toonami kids very early on
It's fine, following Witch Hat Atelier manga is UN sponsored slop anyhow.
Logan "Loofy D Monkey" Paul
>>287645492People who cared before this already have their copies. This only affects people who are jumping on the bandwagon after him.
>>287645598Video games are also not random and are a fixed product with a fixed price.Yet, old and historically significant video games that were mass-produced by the million resell for ludicrously high prices.I can't tell if you're being disingenuous on purpose or genuinely retardedThese manga are already collector items. The problem is that Logan Paul is going to manipulate the markets and inflate the value of them way beyond reasonable limits.
>>287646163Did people not experience this? The same kids in my school who only liked Saturday morning shounen like DBZ and Naruto bullied the girl who was a little too into Inuyasha
>>287646312You do realize when Gundam Wing debuted on Toonami, it had initial higher ratings than DBZ? lol
>>287645598He means that other normalfags will start buying manga as "investments" in the hope that they become valueable later. It'll probably only hit popular titles but scalpers are retarded so who knows.
>>287646312This but the weird kid who was into Totally Spies and Winx club.Considering my taste in anime, I am that kid now. Weird how the world turns out.
>>287645492>owning a physical copy>in 2026>>287645517chads who watches anime like him are the main reason why you weebs aren't getting bullied anymore. yes, hate it or not, you can't deny that logan is a chad.
>>287645644Try reporting instead of bumping
>>287645492These retards are trying to go comic collector investment shit. It's just laughable that this fotm manga/tankubon collecting craze will fail.I think it's the old cels/frames used before digital animation will be the valuable ones.

>>287646488It's univerally known that the janny online at this time of day just ignores all reports. That's why this thread was posted when it was.
>>287646579At least those things are limited compared to whatever Logan Paul is trying to do, especially Wan Piss and Dragon Ball being well known.
>>287646594Tanks get reprints when they sell out. This isn't burgerfagland where shit gets one print run and then the licensee loses the license.
>>287646643I think there's sometimes a janitor active in around half an hour. But yeah, before that is pretty dead on the moderation front.
>>287645492>Be prepared for manga to become unaffordableOdd, because despite that faggot wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars, Dragon Ball chapter 1 is free to readhttps://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100011despite that faggot wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars, One Piece chapter 1 is free to readhttps://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100020owning some paper that was printed a few decades ago is entirely meaningless, they don't care about the medium, they care about arbitrary collection values
>>287645492I don't think that'll ever catch on because unlike trading cards you get the manga to read through. I know comics being graded is really old, but I don't think it ever got as popular as the non-graded comics. It seems like something that only appeals to high end collectors. I know some of the older Shonen Jump magazines are more expensive, but once again I think there is a really small subset of people collecting them that will actually grade them (especially in Japan).>(second highest in existence, pop 3)Oh golly gee I wonder why the population is so low
>>287645492>mangas

>>287647186How often do you read old issues of manga magazines?
>>287645492>Another e-celeb scam*Ya~wns
It's trying to apply the American comic mindset to Japanese magazine issues. Since a lot of American comic collecting is about getting the first appearance of some character. It isn't about reading anything but just getting the first appearance.
>>287645492>Be prepared for manga to become unaffordable for anyone who cares about the mediumUnless you're buying first printings of manga (lmao) or specific older issues of magazines (lol), this will have zero effect on you. The only things that might become unaffordable are things that are already unaffordable, out of print titles namely (ie, "Zatch Bell", "Ultimate Muscle", the Go Nagai classic collections, etc.)
>>287646298>immediately brings up video gamesWhy are 90% of all threads on /a/ filled with people who only read shounenshit and play video games?
>>287647598Video games are otaku core and if you consume nothing but anime and manga you're dumb weeaboo. Especially because mangaka and animators play video games. Shounen is what both kids and adults enjoy.

>>287645492The funny thing is that this dumbass tries to apply American comic collecting logic onto manga when issues of WSJ aren't really worth anything unless it's a debut issue of a famous series (OP, DB, HxH, JoJo, Naruto, etc). Finding those in good condition can be difficult. Like a lot of manga magazines, WSJ is made out of really cheap materials to keep the price as low as possible.

I read thought-provoking deep high art manga for big dawgs like Monster and Mushishi.
>>287645492Just don't buy "Graded" nonsense?
>>287645492I hate this guy more than you could imagine.He's not only a huge scammer piece of shit, he also ruins literally everything he touches

Nobody's going to pay top dollar for a vs cel
>>287645586>americaI keep all my mangas inside a block too, and I'm a poorfag from a post-Soviet shithole.
>>287645570The same scam as it always was, like any TCG.
>>287647728Moderation is active in other threads. This is sanctioned discussion thread. Keep on topic.
>>287647940It has consequences but only for poor people thats why the US will never do anything about it. They only care about billionaires
>>287645492I get your point, but I feel like manga will be a lot harder to commodify, because people don't normally collect manga like they do with Pokémon cards or American comic books, since most manga readers either buy individual volumes because they're the completed editions that has drawing mistakes fixed and they don't have nearly as much resale value, or they read manga online.
>>287646782This. Graded manga copies are not really a market right now and probably won't ever be. The problem with Pokémon was that there already was a massive scalper/investment scene, l it was just brought to the spotlight by Logan and became way bigger. This scene doesn't exist in manga, as there really isn't perceived value outside certain series that have run out of print. Yeah, series like GTO are very expensive but the average manga collector just wants their modern series which are readily available and are not resold for profit.The average Pokémon card collector wants the cards that DO have perceived value attached to them. That's the issue. This doesn't apply to manga. People are more likely to collect modern series like Jujutsu Kaisen that are printed to death than they are old clamp volumes or GTO that are extremely expensive.
>>287646782>>287648475Another big issue is that these scenes tend to want "hype" and that's difficult to generate with something as mass produced as manga.Your only options for "hype" gradings are>First appearances (magazine releases of a first chapter, iconic moment (ie Goku SSJ), or last chapter)>First printing (a specific volume dated to a specific date)And not many of these are actually that valuable or that sought after. If you're buying the first appearance, you're already within a niche within a niche within a niche. You need to be interested in importing, buying things in Japanese, buying things for their showpiece value more than anything, and be aware of magazine releases. Outside Japan, this is a subset of maybe a thousand people, and inside Japan everyone who is interested already got what they wanted because these magazines aren't actually worth much. They're garbage, 300~ yen books filled with crummy newspaper grade paper.If you're after first printing, then you're still interested in much of the prior stuff, but unlike books (where first printing typically means different bindings, covers, often different internal contents), the difference between a first printing tankoban and a current printing tankoban is near non-existent beyond how aged the paper is. So outsiders won't see value in this like, say, buying a first edition Harry Potter book 1. What's rare in the anime and manga scene is just what's OOP 99% of the time and that's all, but you can't collect that either because your "empire" crumbles the moment it goes back in print (see Sentai's release of Nadia on BD, which tanks from $400 to like $60 when the GKids BD came out, or how Evangelion prices normalized).
I don't give a fuck if some asscancerous scalpers want to make it impossible to buy 40 year old copies of WSJ. manga isn't like a trading card game where I need actual copies of the item to functionally play the game (yes I know I can make proxies but then you get into their legality for sanctioned formats etc.) the point is, if I want to read a manga, I can just find a scan online or a reprint of a reprint of a reprint of the tank.
>twitter screencap>logan paul>mangas
>>287648618Another big issue is how ingrained piracy and ease of access is into the medium, so again, you won't have people going "I'd love to have that" like you would with say, someone wanting a copy of Silent Hill 1 for the PSX (which averages $200+ due to collector markets and isn't available legally on anything else). If someone wants, say, Hunter x Hunter's 1999 anime, which you would pay roughly $1200~$1500 to own legally on DVD, they'd just pirate it. If someone wanted to read Gash Bell, they'd pirate it instead of paying an arm and a leg for an OOP and incomplete English release. This also becomes hard to really sell past a point. You got Dragon Ball, One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, but how far can you dip beyond that?There's hardly any classic series that get the same kind of pull in terms of name recognition. Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Yu Yu Hakusho, JoJo, Hokuto no Ken, and that's about it for the pre-00s in terms of what the average westerner being baited by this might recognize.You could dip into the 00s with Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, and Soul Eater, but these were mass produced far beyond the ones I just mentioned. And if you jump to the modern stuff, you're getting jackshit.This doesn't even get into the big issue of these guys coming so aftermarket that the market is already thoroughly poisoned by bootlegs for these older ones. There's just nothing within anime and manga collecting to truly get people with (which is the whole point of speculation in this way).
>>287645492The funny thing is that, you can tell this dumbass is a tourist, because picrel is the actual first appearance of Goku just like the Romance Dawn one-shot is the first appearance of Luffy
>>287645492same thing with happened with retro games you know where to go
>>287645492>Grifter finds a new grift to chaseLet me guess he, or somebody he knows, started one of those scammy "rating" companies and he's looking to cash in on retards chasing the craze
>>287648961i'm pretty sure he just uses PSA (which is a known scam, and quite literally has been since day one. the first card they ever graded was that honus wagner that gretzky owned and they knew it was cut at the corners to make it look nicer but still gave it high marks anyway. nevermind a billion other controversies they've been involved in since then.
>>287648961I may shit on the anime/manga community a lot, but I'd always give it to them how they're not as easily gullible or as retarded as the comic book cucks.
>>287648475Yeah, the only manga that's really expensive is specific foreign releases that went out of print ages ago and can't be reprinted because the local publisher doesn't have the rights any more (or doesn't even exist any more), and in those cases the value drops like a rock if someone else gets the license and publishes a translation. Slabbing and grading that stuff is retarded.
>>287645492At this point, even as a white man, I won't shed a tear if this faggot gets merc'd

>>287651422>cute girl = literally hardcore gangbang pornDo you not understand that humans are attracted to beauty, and that seeing ugly goblins every single day in real life, and then coming home to enjoy a hobby and escape only to see more ugly goblins, is one of the main factors behind modern depression?
>>287651822I didn't say or imply that.> one of the main factors behind modern depression?I think it's more of an education issue. Neither you nor >>287651715 have given me any strong indication you're actually able to read or understand things other people are saying, so it's almost unreasonable to expect either of you to care about art beyond it just being a vacation for your eyes. So I won't. Try reading books or watching movies you'd assume were boring with an open mind. Goodbye.
>>287646476Logan Paul is a test tube baby with a malformed face who was molested at Disney kids before being put on anabolic hormones as he got older so he could be an online clown for the people who own him.

>>287651976You don’t understand art just because you watch anime from the 1960s. You’re just a midwit who wants validation for being different. Posting that image already destroyed any credibility you could possibly have.
>>287645492Realistically all that's gonna happen is that a bunch of retarded scalpers are going to buy up a bunch of Shonen Jump issues that they're never going to be able to get rid of.
This is certainly stupid but I don't think it will affect anything widely. And it's separating comics fags from their money. This retard thinks manga works like comics, and at least for Luffy he didn't get the first issue he appeared in like >>287648770 said.

>>287653512>complain wherer you shouldn't to people who don't care>waaaaagh why does nothing changeeee i'm complaining and nothing happeeeens
>>287653271>>287653337Unfortunately I don't think /a/'s bashing of the faggot Logan Paul does anything to him
>>287645492heh
>>287653556Nothing will change if you don't complain at all. Have fun paying up the ass for manga, you deserve it.
For real?
>>287653567I still don't understand how he's still free. He's involved in what, 3 crypto rugpulls and 3 scam apps at this point?People have been jailed for less.
>>287653629>paying>for manga?????????????????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿??¿¿¿?
>>287653629Just buy digital, it's cheaper and more convenient. All the Japanese are doing it as well.
>>287653512I actually don't necessarily disagree that discussion of scalpers and manga graders potentially hiking up the price of manga as being on topic, but orienting it around Logan Pull criticism is a bad idea
>>287653629Why? There's nothing to worry about. Graded manga makes no sense because if you put it in a case, then it defeats the purpose of the book. At least with Pokémon cards being graded, it's a single image. With WSJ its multiple pages of multiple series. Plus, there isn't any perceived value in manga outside certain series that have run out of print of which most are Japan-exclusive and/or really obscure. Your average manga collector just wants their favorite series readily available and digest them. Logan Paul is just a retard who wasted his money for nothing.
>>287653726You're not reading manga if you don't pay for it.
>>287653779>you will own nothing and you will be happy :DMeanwhile these scalpers are flipping these assets to make even more money. Back to your cage, poorfag.
>>287653629>
>>287653830Graded Pokémon cards made no sense either, since it prevents you from using them in the fucking game they were made to be used on, yet here we are.

>>287653854Is this the newest paypig cope? The only reason I'm in this hobby is because it's free or extremely cheap, that being a few series I'm caught up raw and no raw site updates for some reason, or they take a long time to do so, and that's just a handful of yen a year. The moment anything changes I'm fucking off to Libgen or some other timewaster.
