Frick you troon lover. It's the same shit. All you gay apologists need to go back. Cinemaphile is for the conservatives and we don't take none of this gay shit. have a nice day homosexual.
All animation is cartoons. There are different kinds of cartoons but they're all cartoons. It doesn't matter where they come from. Look at all the Franime out there that you wouldn't know is French if someone did not tell you. Anime used to have a more unique style sure, but much like how fusion cuisine grew due to exposure to other kinds of food, the same goes for animation.

How is it different? In what way? Do they not animate by using multiple frames drawn in such an order to illustrate movements and actions? Not everything is the same sure but all anime is cartoons. Seethe more weeb.
Honestly this. Just like anime = cartoons. The kind of dumb homosexual who draws a hard distinction is probably a basement dwelling waifu posting hentai watching obease frick.
They are different. Many things in Japan are different than things in the West. Instead of spending your entire life spamming these images across Cinemaphile, why don't you actually make a logical case for why things in Japan are exactly identical to things elsewhere?
Japan has a more popular style to it that it has grown to be known for. But it's the same thing with a spesific style. Games are games, cartoons are cartoons, food is food. There are styles of games, styles of cartoons and styles of food. All anime is cartoons but not all cartoons are anime.

It doesn't, since anime uses techniques that cartoons do not, and has a significantly different approach to animation.
>Now it's on you to explain how they aren't.

They are the same thing on paper, literally no difference.
The reason they need to be separated in comics discussions is to keep Big 2 gays from claiming everything is fine sales wise because “le comics are up in revenue so that means people like gay Alan Scott, gay Tim and gay Jon” when that isn’t true.

Trolling is also against Global Rule 3.
Fulfill your civic duty by reporting this thread as soon as possible and as much as possible, Cinemaphilemrades.
The comics industry is largely dominated by two massive IP holding companies that are both selling different versions of the same thing, and which are more concerned with farming their existing IP than doing anything new. DC doesn't really care what Batman is DOING so long as they are still selling Batman, etc. Yes, there are a lot of indie comics and some of them are even good, but they are such a small margin in the industry that people regularly forget they even exist. Marvel and DC are too good at sucking all of the air out of the room for anything else to really thrive except for maybe one or two a decade.
The manga industry is much more indie creator driven. Big publishers offer a platform or a spotlight, but its the creator that owns and controls their work. This leads to a fresh stream of new content instead of old IPs, and that new content is more focused on telling a specific story and then ending as opposed to just running forever. Most manga fail within 6 months and die, because with that much competition not everything can succeed, but that isn't really any different from any competitive industry. And manga industry also has a much more direct pipeline to further adaptations, the threshold that a manga has to cross to have a shot at getting an anime is shockingly low.
I get thats true, but the thing is that comics (by which I mean full-issue floppies as a business model, no one is talking about 1-3 panel funny pages comics) are not THAT much older than manga. They have a few decades head start. But comics as we know them had already solidified into the stagnant state we know them as now long enough ago that manga has been around longer than it took for comics to doom itself without doing the same thing.
I realize thats a convoluted sentence, but I hope the meaning came across.
Comics went through eras. If you want to be bored to death you can listen to Don Rosa's podcasts about how the american comics industry "went to shit" after the 19 fricking 40's.
>What are the pros and cons.
Pros:
I can read both and enjoy both
Cons:
Most of these people constantly arguing about them probably would rather watch anime and live action shit.
Manga is going to have more risks to take simply because they don't have the safety net of established giant IP universe.
If Superman dies, no one pretends for a moment that he is going to stay dead. Blow up the entire multiverse and the reader reaction is "Oh, so we're doing another reset."
But in manga, a character loses an arm and the expectation is that will MATTER. Either they are down an arm going forward, or they get a robot arm, or they get their arm healed back but that either costs them something or reveals something important. And because manga doesn't have the same expectation of a status quo that cape comics do, these consequences are almost always considered to be for real.
Manga is generally better. Easy to jump into (dont have to dig through multiple reboots and issue 1's to figure out what is going on), a set story with one writer usually, available, and has more variety.
Comics are fine, but when most people think of that they default to the Big 2. Alright if you are really into capes, but agenda shit is being pushed more and more into it to its detriment

Based on what I've seen manga tend to take a lot more risks than comics, especially officially-published ones.
