What are the key differences between anime and manga culture?
Anime is stigmatized. Manga isn't.
One is a filthy secondary.

Filthy secondaries tend to defend shit adaptations.
Anime - has colours, animation, and voice acting
Manga - has no colours, no animation, and no voice acting
Manga is a choice of retards.
>>134402571
Manga is for entitled little pricks who are the equivalent of being first in line for a burger.
Anime is for people who have patience and wants to see shit animated because they don't have the time to read a book. Like an asshole with a kindle fire.
Then that brings us to Sub and Dub. Sub is for those who think that listening to the melody of actors they can't comprehend in language is better than someone acting it out in their own tongue.
Dub is for those who want to comprehend and not read the screen to get what's happening in the anime.
Take your side and be autistic somewhere else.

That's why I'm a mangafag, I can get through half a seasons worth of story in chapters in the span of one episode of anime. Anime is so slow.
>>134402571
the opportunity to reinvent maybe?
Often story elements are removed during the television version or some are added, either by decision of the writer or the publisher or network executives but often such changes improve or worsen the history
anime fan base without a doubt will bring cancer to a manga fan base if an adaption happens
>>134402676
>don't have the time to read a book
I can see that argument being made for actual novels, but if you think that manga takes longer to read the content that the 13 episode will cover, you're a fool. Most 13 episode seasons cover, what, 6 volumes of the manga? Of course many differ but that's about standard. That would be 5.2 hours. Reading 6 volumes of manga takes about 3.

>>134403090
what the fuck should we call it then
Okay here is my opinion:
>Manga is cheaper and easier to make than anime
>This means more people make it
>These people have different ideas
>Therefore there is greater variety in manga than anime
>This means it appeals to a larger range of people and is more original
>The most popular manga get turned into anime by popular anime
>These are generally the more mainstream manga
>Therefore anime is less varied and original than manga
>However it adds a new medium which allows for new features
>Animation, voices, color, background music
>This adds to the story and makes it have greater effect and reach
>Manga readers may not like the changes, but for those who only watch the anime it is excellent
In short: Manga is more varied, anime is 'higher quality' (not necessarily in terms of story or depth, but in terms of delivery)
I like both mediums but usually only read the more obscure and unusual manga, while I watch anime for the more generic shit (harems, SoL, etc.)
>>134402571
The animation of the anime is fine, but I prefer the manga's voice actors.

There are many mangas much more detailed in the art than the anime though.
Manga is more popular, more diverse, and has better art.
Anime is an advertisement.

>>134403943
>3D over 2D
>ever
>>134403554
pretty much.
except that often the move to anime means that each individual frame is less detailed than any one panel of the manga.
I'd also argue that there are some manga where the artwork conveys motion better than some shitty budget animation does, but that's just me.
I think anime is a better medium just because you can watch things happen instead of looking at still images of something. The only problem is that they all have animation budgets so they never really reach maximum potential. And one page in a manga is generally more detailed than a frame in an anime
Overall anime is a better medium, but manga is just generally more detailed and reaches its full potential
>>134403879
True, it is far easier to draw single frames in high quality than to make a smooth animation in the same quality. On the flip side, animated action scenes are more compelling and exciting even if less detailed because they flow better, show movement and cover all moments of the action rather than just key moments.
>>134403885
Really? I always thought it would be like the book-movie debate in the West, where movies are generally watched by more people but people who have read the book always prefer it to the movie
>>134403992
Yes. Normalfags are much more likely to read the big manga titles than watch popular anime.
>loved Triage X when it was manga-only
>hate it now because of the shitty unfaithful anime adaptation
>>134404165
I sorta agree but
you are right if an anime was compelely perfect and hit all marks (music,voice acting, animation, art, story) it objectively would be better then a perfect manga which hits all the marks (art, story)
but the problem is that most thing don't hit their maximum and I believe that manga often get closure than anime
so idealy anime is better overall but in reality manga is better
>>134404260
That just seems weird to me given that anime is freely available on TV and can be watched while multitasking, whereas you have to buy manga (or at least I presume most of them do) and concentrate solely on it
>>134404260
>implying
>>134404251
It's normally the same
>Before an anime is made of a manga, it's literally unheard of
>After an anime is made everyone says this anime is great
>>134404251
Anime is more niche, usually airs late at night. Manga is slightly more normalfag friendly and accessible.
>>134404343

How socially acceptable is reading manga in public in moon land. I heard that in allot of manga shops they'll ask if you want a book jacket when you buy it so people wont know you are reading comics.

I was so pissed when I bought the volume with this in it and found out Murata took it out. Like what the fuck man
Manga is a static medium and anime is a moving medium
These realities place both constraints and grant opportunities to adopters of these media
Manga artists can rely on the ability of the consumer to take as much or as little time as he wants to read the manga
This allows for more complex dialogue, greater detail to art
It also means that anything related to tone of voice and background noise must be conveyed through visual representation (such as how the cracking of Sonic's blade in OP picture is demonstrated by both SFX kana and directional lines to indicate action); music *rarely* carries over well into manga
Since pace of narrative flow is controlled by reader it is impossible to startle or shock the reader through things such as jumpscares
Colour is harder to accurately print on most paper without incurring exorbitant costs (which is why most manga is black and white)
Gross and net revenues are usually low relative to most anime of comparable popularity
Vice versa for most of points above re: anime
The pace is set for the reader which provides opportunities to easily manipulate narrative flow unexpectedly in order to emphasize a plot development, startle the viewer, etc.
No need to fill pages with sfx kana or directional lines since you have already have sound and movement
Nuance and complexity is, to an extent, lost in most anime since the pace is not set by the viewer, and trying to replicate it therefore incurs unneeded expenses that increase with the length of the anime
Anime is almost always much more expensive to produce and sell
This list is not exhaustive
>>134402763
kek
>>134405475
>of comparable popularity
But the curves are completely different. The quantity, the distributions and the biggest series. And breaking even is often the target of anime unlike manga which barely costs anything.

in the volume releases they changed some of the flipbook scenes into redrawn shorter scenes(sometimes they just cut some panels though to make it only like 2 pages long) That was to be expected though, considering the flipbook style wouldn't fit in printed form
They cut Pri-Pri-Prisoner and Sonic's adventures in prison, and the narration during mumen rider's fight with the sea king which just made the whole scene awkward

Music is one of the biggest draws of anime for me, possibly even more than the animation. Music adds a way higher emotional connection to the story, and makes sense that I didn't really care all that much about in the manga, come off as really emotional or exciting.
If manga had soundtracks written for them, I'd listen to them.

Anime;

>Will ignore glaring issues of the animation, so long as there is audio. (I don't mean key frames and QUALITY frames, but legit bad animation)
I was originally anime-only, but I've since moved on to enjoying both mediums. I deeply regretted not reading some of the manga earlier, such as Needless. The big differences between the anime and manga were unbelievable. I still love the Needless anime, but the manga was 10x better, especially when I understood what was going on.
Anime-only is introductory. Manga-only is bitter and overly cautious (rightfully so in many cases). Manga and anime is perfect.

If I said my opinion was that manga readers were weird, that would be subjective. But saying that it's a strong social trend for people to think it's weird is not subjective at all.

>>134402571
Anime has the weakness that they are bound to a pretty tight episode air time and takes longer to produce it properly. Either anime has to drag out an episode with flash backs constantly or overly long talks or they have to cut cool moments in a fight either because it won't look good animated or they simply don't have the time/budget to do it properly.
And because manga has a smaller production value and is doesn't take as many people they can take more risks which can lead to some really great stuff, but also some really terrible things. Manga is also quicker to consume which means authors can put in a lot more small details and jokes that a casual reader won't notice but a person who goes back and reads older chapters once in a while.
Generally, an anime that is well made will be better than a manga that is well made, but it is also far harder to make a well made anime since it has a lot more pitfalls where it can go wrong. Sound design, voice actors, fluidity of animation are a few that spring to mind.
ITT: Animeonly fags are certified autists.

In Japan manga is widely accepted, but anime not so much, the general consensus is that it's either for kids or otaku, even when it's the same as the source material. I know it's retarded double standard but there's nothing we can do about it.

Mangafags are autistic fucks, who think their medium is better because it can convey more messages than animation. They are lonely kissless virgins.

>>134412348
Name a decent, complete manga that has been adapted from an anime and I might give it a try sometime.
Manga:
> Pure, just as the creator intended it to be
> Quality depends on the creator's (and his assistants/editor) skills.
Anime:
> Quality sometimes depends on luck (which licensing company, which studio, budget allocation, etc)
> Story can be altered due to director's interpretation or just pacing.
tl;dr you shouldn't expect good anime adaptation until you see it, but you can always enjoy good manga.
>>134402571
In anime, the medium decides the pace.
In manga, the reader decides the pace.
Manga does not need to "kill time," between scenes.
A manga falls in love with an anime.
Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the anime's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls him, and is overjoyed to find out that he has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the anime, he only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the anime he called is not the same anime he fell in love with. In fact, he doesn't exist in this universe at all. He is the boy's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the manga's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of his crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of FICTION.
