>According to Digieco, a Seoul-based technology think tank, the market for webtoons, and their "derivatives," is currently valued at around 420 billion won (US$368 million) and is expected to more than double to 880 billion won by 2018.

>Their popularity has drawn the attention of the wider entertainment industry, and top rated webtoons have been successfully adapted into TV dramas, films, online games - even musicals.

>With fan bases growing, dozens of webtoon creators earn six-figure US dollar incomes, made up of fees from Internet portals and advertisers, as well as licensing contracts for TV shows, films and other adaptations.

>The most popular South Korean webtoons are now being offered in Internet and mobile platforms in China and Japan. And, after a barrage of requests from foreign fans, Naver recently created a global service offering hit webtoons in English, Chinese, Thai and Indonesian

>>135301617

The amount of whitespace always confuses me. Like, I understand that it's more convenient to read on small phones when you only have to read a single panel at a time, I also understand that it's easier when you just draw single isolated panels instead of bothering with proper page layouts. But why do they always leave five-inch margins between them? It doesn't make it any easier to draw, display, or read, and it just makes everything look slow and braindead. I don't see any reason why they bother doing it save for the fact that it has now become convention.

As expected the weebs are buttmad over the success of Korea.

It's time to face the reality: Korea is the new Japan.

-Samsung and LG are destroying Sony/Toshiba/Panasonic in electronic sales (Smartphones, TVs etc)
-K-dramas are much more popular than J-dramas
-K-pop is more popular than J-pop
-Japanese video game industry is dying and Japanese publishers are resorting to mobile to make up for the lost sales.
-Japan GDP is shrinking and unemployment at all time high.

Japan is a dying country.

>>135301726
They do it because it's easier to produce that way and simple to read. You get a panel and then you swipe down and get another panel. The problem is if you try to look at it as a piece of cohesive work. It's not. It's just lazy visual garbage.

As the other anon said, there's little to no thought put into the layout and the way focus is supposed to flow on the "page". The visual pacing is often just as bad as the story pacing. Many of them have pretty bad or mediocre art, even if it is in color. There are a few decent looking ones, but even then it doesn't change the fact that the vertical phone format is garbage for anything more than a simple 4-koma.

Japan is nowhere near as interested in exporting their soft culture is as korea, they're an insulated country because they can make enough money on their own. As a fan of both kpop and jpop, this is so fucking obvious it's not even funny. Kpop groups desperately try to get noticed overseas, Jpop groups have their videos banned on youtube so access is restricted to paying Japanese people.

Not to mention that kpop groups who do well in Japan fuck off over there for long periods of time to rake in yen, and nearly get forgotten by both Korean and Western fans (which is fine, because they aren't nearly as profitable).

But they're clearly not scanlated by the same people. And now online readers aren't the first port of call because Line will release it first in a format that can be viewed reasonably. Webtoons have been less and less popular in the scanlation community since Line took up the job and what was formerly #1 in popularity on MangaUpdates for instance, is now replaced with chink novels which are the new hotness.

ToG was pretty good at the start but introduced too many characters so it was ruined by trying to give every character page time like One Piece.

Nosblesse was kind of good for the first arc but every subsequent arc was just a repeat of the first arc.

Third, a shitty copycat with terrible art is something you can post on deviantart, not here.
Fourth, a place of origin 50km off? Don't make me laugh with that shitty reasoning. If there were a board about English culture, does that mean you could discuss French culture there, since it's only couple clicks away?

Well since its a made up word, the definition depends on the context. The best definition of the context of the original discussion just happened to be style.
Anyways, I guess Id be okay with people calling Avatar anime, but theres enough non-Japanese style for me to not call it that.

And good job on sage and reporting, at least you're not a newfriend

They were at least panelled. SAO (Shin Angyo Onshi, why do I even have to clarify this in this day and age) threads were pretty good. I actually don't have any problems with traditional manhwa, but this webtoon craze is fucking awful. And it's the only manhwa that exists, because their industry wasn't profitable and died.

Ok, let me phrase it better than that anon: It's an archaic definition from two decades ago when Internet wasn't a thing and no one even knew China and Korea produced comics too. Now that we know, we have 3 different words for basically the same thing, manga which are basically just comics too.
Then we have a subcategory called webcomics which are called webtoons in Korea, but some anons like you are too stuck with some words, that they can't accept small changes.
>>
>>135303265
Allow LNs on /a/ again, already.
>>
>>135303135
why not, anime and manga will be globally produced in the next 10 years.

first wave of Chinese anime is happening right now

Korea is following suit with releases starting next year even though already have a history of making independent animation and cartoons.Even the korean government know what's up.
http://www.cartoonbrew.com/business/south-korean-government-to-pump-338-million-into-animation-industry-110320.html

Their webtoon industry is growing so rapidly that tecent invested so much into ac.qq and bought a majority stake of a number of chinese anime studios.


French animation movies and animated tv series such wakfu and ladybug whatever have been successful


In short, times are changing. And the anime definition will evolve.

Same writing quality, especially The Breaker and Veritas.

SAO was quite a bit better, especially with villains and setting up a conflict early on rather than spend 100 chapters where they just keep adding new bad guys. Like alot of manga and manhua. I dropped Feng Shen Ji because it was just endless like DBZ where bigger and badder guys just come from nowhere.

But no one would immediately notice. Breaker and SAO were right to left, as I recall to remove another distinction.

Veritas was mainly popular because of the give-no-fucks MC, much like Teppu. The Breaker first season was alright, definitely better than some of the other manga that was popular. New Waves was just bullshit powerlevels all over the place.

Why do /a/nons get so furious at any mention of non-japanese asian cartoon media?
There is no reason to be this upset.
Saying it goes on /co/. Why? Anime and Manga are literally just Japanese cartoons and comics.

Why must they go on the western cartoon board, and not the asian cartoon board?
