Can people who read manga tell me the appeal? Why do you like looking at storyboards?

I like
>seeing what it took to make the episode from behind the scenes
>director's comments and notes to animators
>seeing rough sketches
>seeing scenes/angles that got cut
There's honestly just a lot more variety in Manga than in Anime.
Only certain types of manga ever really get adapted

There are a few draws to manga. It's more of a casual thing than anime. Anime requires your full attention while watching, while manga can be picked up and put down easily. Anime adaptations are often poorly done, which might only be noticable if you've read the manga. Manga will usually go into more depth in the story, and you'll lose out on lots of small details in the anime. Manga almost always has better pacing than anime as well. And there's the benefit of reading stories that will either never be adapted or long before adaptation.
All that isn't to say that manga is better than anime. A well done anime series offers a lot that manga simply can't. But it's rare for an anime adaptation to be better than the source material, and the truly great series are usually originals.

Oh and there's usually less censorship in manga as well, which is always nice.
So all you do is watch commercials? Because that's all anime is.

A lot of the time the manga is just done better than the anime. Not to mention that a lot of really good manga don't get anime adaptations

Why do you like watching 20-30 minute long advertisements?

While of course you're not wrong, it seems weird to paint an adapted anime as a totally commercial endeavor and the manga as somehow purer. They're both created with intent to drum up media sales.

Nope, I'm not denying manga can be created for the sake of money, but that is not the problem it faces. See manga has to pander to the audience in the mangazine that they are published in to stay afloat. The anime is used purely as a marketing tool to make sales from a manga, usually when a manga is undergoing rising popularity.
Manga such as Blame, Dorohedoro, Akumetsu, Homunculus, are examples of manga that enjoyed a decent amount of popularity at their peaks. So why weren't they ever adapted into a studio anime adaption? Simple the source material was not only mature but lacked a tangible target audience.
I could give way more of an in-depth analysis but nobody would read it. tl;dr: Anime is for hardcore otaku who can spend money on the blu-ray, Manga being published in a mangazine->tankÅbon opens it to a wider casual audience
