How and why do you think anime exactly became as big as it is starting from the late 90s onward?It's kinda funny and weird how many zoomers and zillennials born from the mid 90s onward have a weird anti-western style thing going on now, but I guess it's just how things go. Anime and japanese media in general were weird and dumb to us "old school" pre-2000 nerds back then, but now comics and western games are ugly and dumb to younger people. I also noticed that lot of weebs have like a weird face autism and think anything with grounded or realistic faces is ugly in art for some weird goddamn reason, even if it's anime/manga, If you show an current internet brainrotted kid Tetsuo Hara or Ryoichi Ikegami art I bet they'll call it ugly but if you made the faces more like generic modern anime they'll like it.
>>153553678Go for either the manga/comics or anime/cartoons discussion. Not both.
>>153553971>>153553678OP, you should samefag this thread less and let it die instead of argue with yourself.
>>153553678rule of cool always wins
>>153553678Comics went to shit in the 90s and they had always been pretty shitty and limited anyway so it made sense they got completely taken over, I mean what is the competition another shitty X-men or Batman comic? Once you had another option available there's no reason whatsoever for people to stick with just comics. Cartoons lasted a little better but again are just so small and limited you can't really compete with the variety and quality of manga, especially when cartoons gotten a lot worse since the 2000s.
>>153553678People were tired of the censorship present in action cartoons, so people moved onto videogames and animehttps://youtu.be/p3xp-AqW5s0
>>153554728Nope
>>153554763Not watching your gay video.
>>153553678In short, anime felt fresh and unique as western offerings began to grow stale and uninteresting. Also, anime appealed to teens in a way no pre-existing western cartoons or comics had since maybe the 70's. Fwiw I'm pretty tired of anime, about as tired as I am with beanmouth shit really. I wish we could go back to the standards of the late 90's and early aughts. Lots of episodic comedy, action, and slice of life cartoons.
>>153553678No kid wants to watch CatDog after they've seen DragonBall Z. I'm glad Anime ate western cartoon's lunch.
>>153554941Faggot.
>>153553678Comics and cartoons just aren't good.
>>153555029No
>>153553678Goku goes on adventures where he gets to fight and be cool for the sake of it. Cap spends more time bitching about foreign policy and hanging out with queers than he does fighting. Most young men prefer the former. It's that simple, really
>>153554941That's kinda of it isn't it? Like the appeal is pretty obvious, quality and variety are just much, much higher overall in anime and manga. What does the West do better at all here?
>>153553678>It's kinda funny and weird how many zoomers and zillennials born from the mid 90s onward have a weird anti-western style thing going on nowDepends on the gender and sexual orientation, honestly.Straight males of all races? Definitely anti-west.Gays and trannies? They love cartoons because cartoons are super gay, they don't really give a fuck about comics except gay webcomics.Women can be a toss-up, depends on the race really. Western Asian women generally prefer anime and manga, western white women if they're on the right will lean towards anime/manga, and if they're on the left will lean towards cartoons/comics.Black women are a wildcard, they've become more anti-east now that Twatter has revealed that they're disliked in Asia as well, so they'll probably just become more black-insular.
>>153555076>Cap spends more time bitching about foreign policy and hanging out with queers than he does fighting.Nice fanfic
>>153555443
>>153555443Riveting stuff for a teenage boy. Definitely cooler than the frieza arc
>>153555545Nice cope
>>153555557What's the cope?
>>153555616Your argument
Increased distribution in the 90's
>>153555734How? Comics lost to manga because they prioritized being faggy over being cool
>>153555809You are faggy, stop projecting
>>153555841>Personally insulted by realityEither a troon or a dumb broad
Western cartoons and comics have steadily declined and anime and manga haven’t.
>>153555962But enough about you
