If someone's trying to actually read manga instead of just watching anime and being an annoying secondary who shitposts in every thread, they're on the right track. "Spoonfeeding" that kind of person will only make /a/ better and lead to more manga discussion. Get your head out of your ass

What do you have to gain from acting like an absolute asshole when someone asks you for help instead of actually helping them? The proper response would have been to help them find whatever they wanted, point out the service that you used, and ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE THREAD MAYBE?! But no! You're perfectly content being a complete fucking dick about it. This kind of uncooperative behaviour is the exact reason why 4chan is a complete sinking ship now. Next time when you feel like being a shithead to someone just because they don't have the dexterity of someone who happens to spend more of their day jerking off than they do, ask yourself if the shitposting is the one asking for help or the one that POSTS THE SAME STUPID SHIT OVER AND OVER. So guess who the shitposter is now.

>The market has been particularly good in the past 5 years as english fans' tastes have matured
It's actually become worse because publishers rely on tie-in series that are getting anime adaptations for sale boosts instead of picking up decent manga that haven't been animated. When the good stuff is licensed it gets released as overpriced hardcovers and the publishers throw a fit when people don't want to spend $15-30 per book for a series with five volumes.

I think you don't understand that this manga has cancerous edgy fanbase and everything in this manga just calling it out as edgy. Just look at these psychopaths, especially rize and eto, you fanboy

Tokyo ghoul is edgy stop fucking denying grim dark manga as edgy you cunt.

Also I was calling it edgy as whole, tokyo fucking ghoul was read by everyone so definitely this manga is not fucking good.

So you think berserk is edgy but not tokyo ghoul. HAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK

Don't fucking reply to me ever again, since tokyo ghoul is literally the only manga you read. Berserk and fucking tokyo ghoul are the same by your definition if already, since guts was unfortunate too. It's edgy. EDGY

Berserk and TG are not on the same level of edginess. Rize and Eto are not even close to edgy. Griffith is 100 billion times more psychopathic than anyone in the whole of Tokyo Ghoul. Everyone that Guts ever cared about was killed by Griffith (who was Guts best friend), except for Casca who was raped and turned into a braindead vegetable instead. Guts was betrayed by his own father and raped for a few coins. When did Kaneki ever have anyone betray him? Did Touka get raped? No? Then shut the fuck up. You have no idea what you're talking about.

The only one that's doing well is Gundam because Vertical shilled it on /m/ and said they'd cease publishing it if the mid volume sales were too low. And even regardless of that you can get overstock copies for $5 because they're still not selling.

Wandering Son and Vinland Saga are also bombing hard.

Says the retarded tripshit.

It's still the same shit though, but the only difference is are level gap for edginess. Denying tokyo ghoul as edgy is retarded.

First of all edginess dosn't make the manga bad it's his writing and tokyo ghoul is shit compared to fucking berserk. Just look how big berserk is, the panelling, and the fighting scenes are huge and actuall good entertainment and content. And what tokyo ghoul has? An argument with the inner self? MC with questionable goals/acts? All the ghouls in this manga are fucking retarded. They can't even use weapons. REGULAR WEAPONS against humans! MUH RACE and retarded clowns. ''Good writing''.

RE is special kind of shit with the terrible pacing and shit.

Tokyo ghoul is not even supposed to be a big manga it's a small one. Everything is around tokyo.

The problem is, a lot of the stuff I read takes ages to get translations. Other things are on hiatus. Or the creators are lazy as fuck and only do 1 issue every couple months.

I assume stuff like this is the reason you rarely see Manga threads.
>>
>>139378573

I can tell English isn't your primary language. What's your primary language? We can make this easier for you.

I agree TG feels very small in terms of the world, but I don't think Berserk did a very good job of conveying scale either. Just showing large armies and cities doesn't give a sense of bigness. The fight scenes are not anything special and in fact you can get a lot of shounen manga that have better panelling. The action isn't well drawn. Compare to Yongbi or Gosu. Berserk just has a lot of detail, but the action isn't well depicted at all.

TG has fuck all for action and is just generally shit all round. Anyone who reads TG for action or plot is a dumbass. But if you think it's not anywhere near as edgy as Berserk then you're wrong. Dead wrong. TG is not edgy AT ALL. The kind of people who think TG is edgy are the kind of people who think Baccano was edgy because one of the immortal kids got tortured. You have no idea what edgy means. Protip: One torture scene doesn't make it edgy, neither does "inner conflict", otherwise even fucking Bleach would be edgy which it isn't.

No.
The reason why the site is in disarray is because we keep getting accomodating faggots like you who continue to feed the pigs that view this as a passing hobby, rather than help maintain the quality and experience of the average anon.
While it is difficult to find good manga without access to a japanese book store in japan: reading all the entry-level texts, browsing different mangakas, learning moon, visiting the various groups, PIECEING THROUGH COMMENTS TO FIND INFORMATION, learning about the industry, and going through the paces yourself, grants you the skills to come across interesting material.
But you have to work for it.
You have to be patient, and you have to EARN the know-how.
These types of people are the ones that should be coming in to the board, because they are the ones with the experience that warrants a good conversation about the topic.
These types of people do not need to be fed, they feed themselves. They know how to look, how to lurk, and to bide their time.
But faggots like you continue to spoonfeed, continue to open the door to thse lazy retards that are incapable of seeking information autonomously, or who are still in the process of developing these skills.
In turn, you are not only a detriment to their progress, but you ensure that the people who do not belong here, i.e. the people who are inexperienced in the medium as a whole, continue to visit the site and bring all their tumblr, reddit, facebook, casual garbage with them.

But most importantly, is the fact that I didn't even need to argue any of this, because haven't been here for more than a day anyway.
How do I know this?
>spoonfeeder
>This kind of uncooperative behaviour
Not only are you completely ignorant to the board's culture, but you're so much as incapable of reading the Global Rules of the site before posting, to realize how retarded of an argument you made in the first place.

>>139380240

and I never said anything about daily discussions. If there a legit reason to discuss a series (because a similar series has come out that it can be compared to) then there's nothing wrong with that.

If there's nothing to talk about then that's that. Evidently people have things to talk about and that's just because the fanbase is large and people think of new things.

I'm only against image spamming and shipping garbage, which I consider illegitimate discussion.

>>139380024
>And you projecting a lot
kek, it's the other way around dear anon.

What I tried to say from the start is that edgy is a really bad way to describe something. Why?
Because it tells us nothing about a manga or an anime. It's just implying that it's something negative stuff but there isn't any reasoning behind that. Don't like gore/violence or had enough tragedy in your life? Okay, don't read TG, Berserk, Aku no hana, Nijigahara holograph, Blame!, Monster etc. It makes no sense that you don't like a category (for example horror or gore) and because I don't like it is shit. That's how the term edgy is used nowadays.

It starts out not that great, honestly, but gets progressively better. The Zolo thing can be an issue, but I think it's pretty easy to ignore. The current translator is an OG fan translator for the series, but he also has to do what Shueisha tells him so there is localisation.

It's really not that bad, though. Could be a lot worse.

Edgy has a legit meaning that is misused by newfags. In its essence, edgy means a work is against a large segment of the human population (e.g all females, or all humans). That's why Elfen Lied is edgy because it basically says HUMANS ARE EVIL HURR DURR. Something like Tokyo Ghoul does not have this kind of theme to it (it's just police vs ghouls) so it's not edgy.

More like edgy defines manga as shit

I only said it's edgy because of its concept. Ghouls eating humans. Humanoid creatures that resemble human behaviors are out to eat your mommy. And some of them killing for enjoyment. Tokyo ghoul is shit from other reasons anyway though. And some of the reasons been said in the thread already.

Oh and this tripfag says berserk is edgy but not tokyo ghoul. Hypocrite

>some of them killing for enjoyment

Yes but the manga shows that's just an isolated case and most of the ghouls that we get to see are actually nice people so no TG is not really edgy.

If you look at the cast of TG only a few are actually evil. Most of them are normal by seinen standards.

It doesn't work.
For the longest time I thought the same thing: "Just ignore them, they'll go away," but no, if you don't make it known that they are unwanted pests, they will not leave, they will not change, and most importantly, they will attract more of their kind, and more of the same behavior.
I'm not saying Elitism is the solution. Even if you make the experience as uncomfortable as you can for them, because there are already so many spoonfeeding, accomodating and streaming faggots within the board that they will always find a safe haven to continue to propagate their faggotry. But, with elitism, at least you will be able to ward off the weakest, most sensitive new shits to fuck off to wherever they came from, thus not fixing the main problem, but slowing that rate at which it grows around.
There is no perfect deterrent against these faggots. It's too late. Short of utter and complete totalitarian moderation, the best that can be done is try to slow down the growth of cancer, and enjoy the little moments of fun sprinkled about.

I used to rampantly tripfag on other board years ago and I thrived on the hatred. They are attentionwhores, they thrive on attention of any kind. Ignoring them is literally the best way.

The problem is not everyone is on board to ignore them.

yes, :RE is shit but I pretty much enjoyed the first manga. I hate the fanbase too. The fucked up anime adaption ruined everything. (The only good thing it did is that translation became scheduled.)
I admit that these themes are bringing in tumblr and reddit lowlifes. They want to be the misunderstood anti hero too like their favourite MC, but those people who actually like dark/sad concepts has to lay low because they are straightaway brought together with the scum invading 4chan. That's why I don't like the whole dark/horror = edgy thing. I guess in these genres eating humans or killing humans are not above the line.
