No
On a long enough timeline the japanese eventually go extinct and the americans reign supreme once more
Post the official Goku art that was traced from Captain America
I don’t know what this is, I didn’t ask for this
A western comic that was ripping off the manga Bleach.
a western comic no one heard of until you posted it, and probably published by a literally who
wtf are you doing Anon
I didn't post it though, I merely was answering because at the time this comic, Incarnate, was considered high profile plagiarism given that the writer and artist ripping off Bleach was Nick Simmons the son of Gene Simmons. Even Kubo commented on it in his Twitter account, asking why would the son of such an internationally famous musician enter a grueling career such as comicbooks, and rip off Bleach of all things,
Wow, that is just really fricking stupid impressivley so.
Every single comic book and manga artist is a cartoonist
There are manga artists that draw using their ESP powers. How about them?
>2013: manga and comics are different
>2023: actually they're the same
Desperate cope
what are you talking about?
No, and they don't have to.
you read comics for certain types of stories and you read mangas for other reasons.
Imagine if comics and mangas were the same thing but drawn differently, shit would get stale really quick on both side
Yeah I mean who like my hero academy.
not all shounens are about superheroes
Honestly, the Japanese seem to prefer their superheroes as tokusatsu. There's rarely any super hero manga and more often than not they aim for a young adult demographic of neets and salarymen fed up with life (Kamen Rider W: Fuuto PI and Sentai Red is an Adventurer come to mind. the latter though has a nice message to not let your childhood spirit and idealism die to the bitterness of adulthood)
>to prefer their superheroes as tokusatsu
Or, and this might blow your mind, they prefer them as tokusatsu, mecha and mahou shojo.
I meant customed heroes in general. Not just Super Sentai which goes full into mecha, but also stuff like Garo which is more magic-based and yet it is live action.
>I meant customed heroes in general.
Yes that's what I was refering to. Mecha, especially the super robot genre, is in a way that but the suits are the mecha themselves. I know that some nips view it like that. I also don't think they view tokusatsu like americans view super heroes movie and comics. I doubt a nip heavily into Garo for example would like to read a superhero comic about magic. They are different beasts imo.
I once read Yuusuke Nakano (the Legend of Zelda, Super Metroid and F-Zero X artist) once say that, because american comics are very rarely translated to Japanese, most people who buy and collect them in Japan are artists themselves wanting to explore more. So, I believe you're right, your regular Garo viewer wouldn't, at best a Garo fan who draws stuff on his social media might dwelve into it, but that's more the exception.
Then there's actual madmen like Tamori Wataru (Robopon) who actually imported the MOTU toys and drew Skeletor because there isn't much like that in Japan.
I wonder if it's a cultural thing, or general population lack of internet. From what I've heard, the MCU doesn't really perform very well over there, with Spider-Man only doing decently due to Supaidaman-nostalgic boomers, it always falls behind Sentai and Rider movies.
I neglected to mention, or rather forgot, but there was once upon a time Japan loved costumed heroes... Tatsunoko's large repertoire of heroes like Gatchaman, or Hurricane Polimar.
Still one of them is going to die this decade on a maor scale.
>Still one of them is going to die this decade on a maor scale.
It's such a shame the west only has Marvel and DC for comics and literally no one else.
Who gives a shit about the others
No. But they have the movies so who cares, really?
The movies are almost all fricking dogshit though.
>it's about sales
>um...I mean it's about quality
pick a lane moron
These threads were about quality for a little while, but manga lost, so they became about sales.
We were talking about sales of the books though, which the trash movies don't help at all.
Manga are comics moron
Who cares
Why is Cinemaphile so obsessed with Cinemaphile?
We don't go over there and ask them questions about Spongebob
I haven't seen cartoons mention ones on Cinemaphile. If I had a penny for every time someone made a thread with the title "cartoons are shit" and someone replied with "anime is even worse" on Cinemaphile I would be a millionaire.
*mentioned once
I'm goin to assume it's made by Anons who read both mangas and comics and they're b***hing/trolling than either
>their comics doesn't have the same amount of fanservices compared to their mangas
or
>their comics has gone "woke" compared to their mangas
or both. don't fool yourself, the guys making the "West vs East"
threads are actually reading both on a regular basis and pretend they're on one side only.
this, I rarely lurk on Cinemaphile but when I do it's only mangas and animes, sometimes weeb autism is a good thing
Comics are better.
Why compete?
Also Manga gets ultra convoluted and old school in social issues so its not even in the same league.
