Koreans are completely insecure about being less relevant than China and Japan which is why they're shilling their garbage media so hard.

As a completely impartial observer, Korea has been more culturally relevant than Japan the past 10 or so years. Kpop, Korean films, Korean tv shows. Japan really only has anime

>>220469240
>Kpop, Korean films, Korean tv shows. Japan really only has anime
What about jpop, Japanese films, and Japanese shows?
>>
>>220469240
Many of Korea’s entertainment systems, like idol training, visual aesthetics, even parts of modern East Asian pop infrastructure, were themselves influenced by earlier Japanese entertainment models.

Idk what level of weeb you are, but hopefully not so extreme that you think jpop is anywhere near as huge as kpop. Parasite was a huge movie and won best picture. Squid game was huge. Japan kind of fell off

I'm sure Japan has as many musicians, shows and movies as Korea. Probably more since they're not facing nearly as bad a demographic collapse.

Is Korea just more relevant because Netflix is recommending more of them to America? I don't think there's any other reason to believe Korea is more kino capable than Japan.

I think the western tastemakers are turning against Japan (mmo junkie anime was made by an antisemite. Angel cop manga was considered antisemitic. Golgo 13 manga had some issues recalled for antisemitism. The Fugu plan and being an axis power and a former colonist of trade partner China and resentful Korea) because they see Korea as more malleable, so more Korean shows and movies are on streaming or theaters.

Japan has close to 0 relevant non-anime shows or movies and K Pop superseded J Pop globally. Like the last relevant Japanese film came out over 20 years ago.

well, both are kinda true. almost all of k-shits look like a mix of jap shit and western shit.
koreans tend to be insecure about their identitity and their status even now maybe because of thier history of being an opportunist among bigger countries.

I watched this and it was ok and cute. One of the better korean animated movies but obviously inspired by anime(they even used a japanese composer) and doesn't touch the greats of anime.

It's all about advertising. Kaiji is 100 times better than squid game but very few people know the anime/manga.

Actually, Japan didn't fall off at all. Japanese things were always niche but also pretty huge in terms of quantity and variety. It never really went mainstream like recent korean things that you mentioned, though.

Is this true? Are Koreans the jews of asia?

I read a lot of manhwa and most of the time they just use pregenerated assets for backgrounds. manga tends to be hand drawn and it has its charm even if it cheaply done. manhwa is also generic shit it's all hunter/gate or tower climbing shit and they spend half the time just talking in an office

>Kaiji is 100 times better than squid game but very few people know the anime/manga
I once had someone on omegle call me a faggot for liking death note. They suggested kaiji watched a few episodes. Not impressed. Later on i heard "lying game" manga mentioned. Its the same shit. Is "we're stuck in a life or death game show" a whole genre just like "we're stuck in a video game" is a genre with log horizon, sword art online, etc?
>>
>>220469977
>Not impressed.
It gest really good depending on where you stopped. Kaiji himself is a more inetresting character than everyone in squid games but maybe it was not for you.
>"lying game"
Liar game has great games that rely a lot more on math than luck.
> Is "we're stuck in a life or death game show" a whole genre just like "we're stuck in a video game" is a genre with log horizon, sword art online, etc?
In a way but there are lot less actual death game manga/anime. It's more of a subgenre to manga that are focused on strategy games.
>>
>>220469931
agreed except with anime it is pretty mainstream at this point, mostly shonenslop though the average normie doesn't know about logh or something for example. japan has and probably always will be very focused on its own market first and foremost whereas korea wants to desperately shill itself to burgers and seamonkeys
>>
>>220469977
I don't know if kaiji is better than squid game but the thing is, most japs can't really think like they lost to korea even if so many people watched squad game or parasite and kpop semen hunters won oscars
maybe Japan has moved on from that kind of phase, for better or for worse. japs don't think one piece is a ''win'' for japan, for instance. there won't be a big hype even if a japanese movie wins oscar.
>>
>>220469977
>Is "we're stuck in a life or death game show" a whole genre
It's a popular enough thing in Japan.

Korea was the intermediary between China and Japan. many cultural developments flowed from China through Korea and from Korea itself.
for a long time, it was 1. China, 2, Korea, 3. Japan

What's some things you like and some things you don't like in manhwas, also prefered site/app to read them, and your age
I need this info, manhwafag, post it!
>>
>>220471671
I mostly just use yandex and search "title name chapter 1" because google filters them. a lot of sites just rehost content. asurascans is one and mangaread is another. webtoons is another but that's an official source so they get things later than scanlators. some manhwa and manhua I just scanlate myself if it isn't available. the english is a bit janky but I don't mind so much I just think koreans and chinamen are stupid so they don't know how to talk
>>
>>220471671
oh as far as things I dislike there's always a missing parent and they have a sick sister or some shit. also when they rush the powerscaling it's a bit ridiculous. it seems like a lot of them just delete adults. even stuff with a school setting might have one teacher and a headmaster or sometimes it's just students and you don't even see an adult. I like it when the MC is past adulthood and they have been through the military. arcane sniper was a fun read. the MC makes a friend and they are like brothers. I hate it when the MC is conceited and just uses everyone as disposable

Recc some good manhwas and mangas for me
>>
>>220471932
as for manhwa try checking out surviving the game as a barbarian, hand jumper, return of the blossoming blade, swordmasters youngest son, the world after the fall (though a lot of people hate the ending), star embracing swordmaster, A Regressor's Tale of Cultivation, return of the crazy demon (xanxia comedy novel).
umm there's some manhua Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess, heavenly demon cultivation simulation, and cultivator against hero society. they're sort of genre twists
as far as manga there's too many to list maybe read claymore, ubel blatt, wolfsmund
>>
>>220471932
The one manhwa I've really liked was Annarasumanara but I haven't read that much. Like the other anon has said there is a lot of manga to recc so you should just name your favorite genre.
>>
>>220472071
>>220472137
>favorite genre
Idk about genre
I like death note. I like fma. I like avatar the last Airbender, breaking bad, house of cards and mr robot if there's a manhwa like that.
I like danganronpa and chaos;head and steins;gate
I like mafia movies. I like Golgo.

Idk how many manhwas are covered by any of that.
Is there a good story about Korean/jap/china racism?
>>
>>220469019
This gives off the same vibe as those 00s french pseudo anime that would air on Jetix

nips don't bother mentioning korea they mostly make fun of americans. koreans hate japanese and I'd say most manhwa that brings up japanese people they're pretty racist toward them. the beginning after the end isn't a bad manhwa but I wouldn't recommend you watch the tv show it's pretty trash. manhua also likes to make fun of americans I was reading I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey a bit ago and they put charley kirk's death in the story just a couple of weeks after it happened. manga has memes but they're mostly in reference to older manga and not about current events.
I'm going to be honest I'm a trash bag and I read lots of trash manga. I like yuri and stuff like that. rosen garten saga isn't bad but uhh screenshot related
>>
>>220469382
Koreans weren't hired to be key animators.

>>220469192
Probably different publishing world. Did Korea have the same kind of comics anthology culture as Japan where the goal was to create disposable weekly/monthly books? Or was it more like the U.S. where titles were sold individually from the start? I know now most Korean comics are just webtoon things distributed initially through mobile apps.
>>
>>220472202
Like I said Idk that much about manhwa, but for manga I can rec One Outs, Liar Game, Ajin, Pandora's hearts, Akumetsu(if you like political shit), Dorohedoro, Claymore.
>I like mafia movies.
If you are open to anime as well Gungrave is a fun mafia story and Texhnolyze has some good mafia bits in it.
>>
korea won

>>220469019
at least their charecters look asian unlike japs anime. the japs want to you to believe the clearly white looking anime character is actually japanese. it's pathetic

They still have huge eyes and don't have actual asia facial features.

>hey chatgpt, if manhwa is the Korean word for Manga, what's the korean word for anime?

The Korean equivalent of “anime” is usually:

애니메이션 (aenimeisyeon) — literally “animation”

or shortened colloquially to 애니 (aeni)

Unlike Japan, where “anime” became a distinct cultural category associated specifically with Japanese animation, South Korea generally uses the broader word for animation rather than a uniquely Korean counterpart term.

So the parallel is a little uneven:

Japanese comics manga

Korean comics manhwa

But for animation:

Japanese animation anime

Korean animation usually just “animation” / “aeni”

Some fans online occasionally use terms like:

“Korean anime”

“aeni”

or “hanguk aeni” (Korean animation)

…but there isn’t a globally dominant Korean-equivalent branding term with the same cultural weight that “anime” has.

Japan does this often, like how Squid Game is a Japanese psyop to destroy kdramas from the inside.
>>
>>220473981
Most of gook history is being conquered and mind broken.

Japan is like Rome and Korea is like England.

Pre-roman England was white guys in swamps and mudhuts. The romans came over and civilized them.

Fortunately for England, Rome died so they don't need to be insecure about it.

The Tokyo skyline glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, all steel and light, a city that had long ago perfected the art of looking forward. Hwang Dong-hyuk sat across from three men who understood him better than anyone in Seoul ever had.

Takeshi poured the whiskey. Three fingers each. No ice.

"You've seen the numbers," he said. "Episode one alone. The debt. The desperation. The violence of simply existing in your world." He smiled. "It plays in Omaha. It plays in Jakarta. It plays everywhere we wanted it to play."

Hwang nodded. He'd written the script for a decade, been rejected countless times. Then these men found him. Saw something in his work that Korean broadcasters couldn't—or wouldn't.

Kenji spoke next, quieter than Takeshi. The strategist. "The romance episodes in your original draft. The backstories between the guard and the player. The moments of kindness."

"I remember."

"We were right to cut them. Weren't we?"

Hwang thought of the scenes on the cutting room floor. A young guard bringing water to an old player he recognized from his neighborhood. Two contestants sharing a moment of quiet before the next game. Human moments. Korean moments.

"Viewers don't need them," Hwang said. "The games are the story."

"Exactly." Kenji leaned forward. "This is the model now. Not just for one show. For everything. You understand what we're building?"

Hwang understood perfectly. He'd understood from the first meeting.

For decades, Korean drama had been defined by what Japan could never quite master—the pure romance, the family saga, the tearful reconciliation. Korean television had built a global audience on the back of stories where the worst thing that could happen was a terminal illness or a chaebol mother's disapproval. Wholesome. Predictable. Korean.

The Japanese survival genre had always been different. Darker. More willing to ask what people became when everything was stripped away. Manga like Kaiji didn't flinch from the ugliness. Battle Royale didn't pretend children wouldn't kill each other. Liar Game understood that trust was just another weapon.

"And now," Takeshi said, "you've dressed our stories in your faces. Your actors. Your locations. And the world thinks this is what Korea makes now."

"It is what Korea makes now," Hwang said. "I'm Korean. This came from me."

"Of course." Takeshi's smile was patient. "And yet, without our Kaiji, without our Liar Game—would this exist? Would any of this exist?"

Hwang didn't answer. They both knew the truth.

The second round of whiskey came.

"The next phase," Kenji said, "is the romance. The thing you're best at. We need you to kill it."

Hwang's glass paused halfway to his lips.

"Not literally. But make it ugly. Make it transactional. Make it something people are embarrassed to want." Kenji pulled out a tablet, scrolled through images. "Look at what's in development now. Fifteen new survival shows across three platforms. All greenlit because of you. How many have the kind of love stories that made your industry famous?"

Hwang scrolled. Saw the loglines. Saw the concept art. Saw bodies and blood and desperation.

"None," he admitted.

"Exactly. And the ones that do"—Kenji pointed to a single title—"this one. The producer wants a romantic subplot. Two contestants protecting each other. Very your country."

"What happens to it?"

"Nothing. It gets buried. Lost in the noise. And when it fails, the next producer learns. And the next. Until no one tries anymore."

Hwang set the tablet down. Outside, Tokyo gleamed. He thought of Seoul, of the dramas he'd grown up watching with his mother. The slow burns. The yearning glances. The love that took sixteen episodes to confess and a lifetime to fulfill.

He thought of what he'd helped create instead.

"The violence isn't the point," he said quietly. "Is it?"

Takeshi's smile widened. "The violence is the delivery system. The point is what it replaces."

Later, walking to his hotel, Hwang's phone buzzed. A text from his mother in Seoul.

Watched your show. Too much blood. When will you make something beautiful again?

He stared at the screen for a long time.

Then he kept walking.
