Is manga literature?
No.
Death to frogniggers.
>>25229701I can tell this is one of your first times on this board, if not the first.
>>25229704but why????????????????????????????????
manga has more in common with trading card game copy than literature, anon-kun
>>25229701Only in a literal and technical sense, yes.
>>25229723>literal and technical senseahhh so the only senses that autismo automatons know how to use, kek
>>25229723ThisBut I’ll admit to having been a fan of it once. It was pretty comfy I suppose. But I still have friends in their thirties who still swear by it, thinking it’s the best medium of storytelling the world has to offer, refusing to read a real book for once in their fucking lives. It frustrates me so.
>>25229740Wait until you meet someone who likes films.
>>25229723Imo manga also retains the spirit of literature as well. A good artist is capable of doing the same things as a good author, because he is one.
>>25229749hahahahahahahahahahahavery good!
>Iss pictshurr bewks lituhrachurr?Dead board full of bots and brownskinned buffoons.
>>25229780Post bookstack
I'm at work right now, bb but I'll definitely do so when I get home.
>>25229749Okay slow down, he’s an illustrator, putting a speech bubble next to a character and writing a line that any 12 year old could come up with isn’t exactly literary. The art can be aesthetically appealing sure, like look at that guy who draws Innocent. They’re still picture books though. >>25229742I’ve met too many and they’re even worse, especially David Lynch fans. A load of quirky, style over substance dreck in my opinion.
>>25229749>9th grade reading level prose>almost no risks taken with style>diction almost never requires a dictionary>action figure pull-string dialogue>contrived, asinine sci-fi/fantasy tropes fit for teenagers>no anagogy>no poetics>spirit of literature
>>25229742>>25229809film > anime, but anime nerds > film nerds. film dorks are by far the most ostentatious prickly little worms you'll ever meet. i'm starting to wonder that film studies majors are just psychology rejects at this point.
>>25229813I’m not very versed in cinema, but I recall someone insulting Bergman, deriding him as a “failed novelist”. I saw the Winter Light, and it was fine but not as replete with human depth as it implies that it is. It’s like a teenager tried to mimic Dostoevsky (whom I’m not really into anyway, but I’ll admit he expounds his themes very well). As a result, I’m inclined to believe whoever made the aforementioned statement about him, without having any evidence of it.I feel his fans follow suit in that way. >>25229810>>9th gradeThat’s generous.
>>25229701Haven't read many books that matched this moment
>>25229879Looks pretty gay.
>>25229884>knowing what's gayit ain't me.mp3
>>25229898This is the gayest board on the website. Of course he knows what’s gay. You however, have just outed yourself as a tourist.
>>25229903>This is the gayest board on the website.hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no. That would be /fit/
>>25229823>BergmanI've only seen the 7th Seal. Was it good? Yes. Was it on par with life-changing /lit/? Absolutely not.
>>25229749the shittiest, stinkiest, dankest sections of Macbeth brutally mog all manga i've ever read, sorry if this simple truth triggers an HRT-adjacent melty
>>25229879*Haven't read many books
>>25229964Actually that makes more sense. I’ll rescind that comment.>>25230012Yeah I never saw seventh seal but as I understand, it’s fellated as something of equal value, if not higher. to (good) literature. These films are fine on their own, but you get this impression that the director seems to think he’s creating something on par with Shakespeare & Milton, or Michelangelo & Rembrandt. Tarkovsky is also guilty of this.
>>25230028i've never seen tarkovsky but judging by his fans i'd bet you're on the money
>>25229704Death to tourists>>25229712Cus frog posting resulted in meme magic, and meme magic scares sub-humans who usually consist of soulless leftists.
I like anime, I like cinema. I enjoy Evangelion, I enjoy Chris Nolan films, I enjoy Miyazaki films. I even love low brow content like Ranma 1/2.
>>25229701No, but it's fun. I'm diving into pre-DB Akira Toriyama.
I loathe this board.
>>25230835Then leave. You won't be missed.
>>25230833>Comfy asf
>>25230863I'm loving Dr. Slump.
>>25230835Y doe. We laff. We love. We're human :)
>>25229701Of course not. If literature were only storytelling then films and TV shows would be considered literature too. They have more words and complete sentences than any manga.
>>25231093>literature=more words and complete sentencesFucking lel
>>25231100Are you an idiot or a clown? What are you even laughing at? A fact that you have no counter to? You have absolutely no ground to stand on here. Filmography has complete scripts and dialogues. Shakespeare wrote stage plays. Not saying films should be considered literature but manga is not even in the conversation here.
>>25231108Just a shallow definition but i know what you mean. Calm down.
>>25229701No, but western comics can be sometimes.
>>25231093The only point of pretense is the notion that literature is art. Art is time, place and a feeling. As far a I am aware manga as a medium has the capacity to cultivate all of those components. >m-muh words and complete sentencesWhat the fuck are we talking about here?
It could be but most of it is still written for adolescents with no life experience. Are children's coloring books literature, too?
No, but does that even matter, if you like it then whatever but don’t be a faggot about it.>>25232039If I were to use one for my diary desu then yeah.
