I'm finding myself pulled towards anime after being exhausted from CGI and terrible/reused set design. Live action shows are so boring and plain these days, everything looks the same with slightly different costumes. Nothing is really engaging visually, and the storylines seem to be held back by what they can do visually/"within their budget" for a lot shows.
- dmonitor 2y agoI think the manga format is really effective at letting new stories reach audiences. US media companies need to realize that funding authors/artists to test run their new stories as cheap comics and increasing funding to the 1/20 that gain traction is a great way to incubate the new talent that the industry desperately needs. American comic books are incredibly stagnant and have been so for the past 20 years. Not a single new character with any cultural relevancy (besides reboots of old characters) has been made in the last 20-odd years. Meanwhile, series like Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen have become million dollar global franchises in the last decade. The manga => anime => cultural zeitgeist pipeline has produced tons of recent compelling series.
- hiccuphippo 2y agoWhat I like from manga is that there's usually a single author who envisions the whole story, there could be a small team of assistants and an editor to help but the story belongs to a person alone. Not a team of people writting a story by committee.
