does anyone have a picture that showed a comparison between anime and manga? I remember it showed comics being stuck with the same characters like spiderman and superman for decades while mangas went through many different characters over timeI think it was a simple black and white drawing, please I can't find it and I'm going insane
Comparison between anime, mangaMeow

>>1521428oops I meant comics and manga, sorry
>>1521430Then your question morphs into a "generational" difference question. Today's fans are quite a bit different from the boomers and older. And the consumer styles changed from reading into grazing for USA consumers but USA fans still read. Grazers versus readers matter as they have different perspectives on characters changing or not changing after decades.>>1521308>it showed comics being stuck with the same characters like spiderman and superman for decades while mangas went through many different characters over timeAre you referring to a comparison of the FREQUENCY of release on mainstream titles or to how many new characters were being introduced in the USA comics by dc/marvel?As for frequency of new chars, there had always been independent comics with a large variety of characters. But if you were referring solely to mainstream comics like DC and Marvel introducing new characters, they also had a variety of characters and NEW characters were introduced every month but many such newbies were just unpopular.So the USA marketplace was not "stuck" with the same characters such as spidey or superman for decades. It liked the same familiar characters undergoing different adventures and evolving as durable reliable good versus evil MORALISTIC people. In comparison, the manga world had reliable regulars like Atom Boy from way back and onwards. Perhaps you should look at the history of manga book by Frederick Schodt for perspective on long-lasting japanese characters.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga!_Manga!_The_World_of_Japanese_Comics

>>1521487Sometimes, a comparison of change over time isn't reliable because the character is constantly having changes back and forth as it is constantly tweaked in looks to remain interesting. This is to reduce the visual fatique factor.
There once was a website that carried media comparisons between different media versions of specific titles. I wonder what happened to that site?

>>1521308>comics being stuck with the same characters like spiderman and superman for decades while mangas went through many different characters over timeThe danger of this implied question is that it has an answer that can be either way depending on your scope. See Frederik Schodt....Another factor that must be removed from the answer is that many manga artists are young and their art style is not fluid. Stan Lee and Ditko were already established older artists and had strict character design guidelines to keep the look the same. Many manga artists in contrasts were still growing up and so their drawing styles continued to change until they finally entered a period of stability. For example, manga artist Oda of One Piece had wildly different drawing styles from when he started One Piece and where he is now. This drawing style also influenced the changing character looks of the anime which strived to match the looks of the manga at that period in time. You'll have to remove such changes that give manga a feel of constant change whereas USA comics from DC/Marvel don't seem to change the looks of their established characters.
Could differences be due to business practices. Some japanese animators also work on manga projects (such a Toei ones).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J-A-LhptE4
