i grew up on japanese mangas and animes.
that said, i wish south korean ideas win. excluding their k-pop frenzy. i don't check their webtoons often. but i am happy with their movies and some of their music.
why?
japanese animes and mangas have become one dimensional. high school boys and girls saving the world. the lack of imagination is outstanding. and if i was not attached to these shows, i would have canceled them eons ago. most of us would.
they suck now.

- kayxspre 4y agoI rarely find anything that isn't in the genre of "Tensei" (Reincarnation) anymore except a few longstanding franchise, anime/manga with much hype (Demon Slayer), or something related to the voice actor. In the last case, I picked up Birdie Wing due to two big name VAs (Tōru Furuya and Shūichi Ikeda), and it doesn't disappoint me at all.
- langsoul-com 4y agoTroupes and cliches have always been huge in Asian stuff. It's just the volume of content is higher, thus it feels more repedative. But, this is true of all media really. Like the heroes journey, pixie girl (girl that comes outa nowhere and takes you on an adventure). Korean dramas have a up down peak cycle, high highs that crashes into a low low and repeat. Chinese has a lot of study study, work hard deal. Family drama or overly high amounts of social drama Or Japanese with their Japanese world view onto everyone lens. Ie nice main character and acts holier than thou.
