Why are manga, LNs, and VNs superior to anime?
Why do people wait for the superior medium to be adapted into an inferior medium? Please make me understand.

In answer to your question, I have no idea. I've pretty much given up on anime adaptations altogether.
Why are books superior to movies? Anything popular in its original medium gets adapted for easier consumption by the ignorant masses.
The music, voices, colors, and movement. It's usually inferior but it's more gripping. They still have shit taste.

Because I can't be bothered to flip or swipe through the pages.

So what does that say about /a/?

I miss those days
The same reason people go to see capeshit movies (especially Marvel ones, considering they're missing half the canon and all of the decent villains that belong to them) that they don't really care about
Anime has more buzz, more OC
More memes, more porn

>why is [opinion] true?
It's not. It's just your opinion. Sage. Bye bye.

I thought sage was no longer a thing.

It's not the medium that counts. It's the quality of their own works.

It's more entertaining watching than reading.
>>143276722
Well you see most of us live in first world countries where we have real forms of entertainment and don't have to degrade ourselves to reading like a bunch of poorfags

I'll give you Lns and Vns but Anime is superior to Manga.

I disagree. There's something special to manga. Anime just looks and feels cheap in comparison.
It's the same reason Fate isn't as good as an anime.
You lose out on the nuances of the medium it originally came from.
It's like turning Metal Gear Rising or Bayonetta into a book.

I thought I would never see that pic again

it all comes down to effort, when given the choice to actively read a detailed, unique, and specialized medium and receiving nearly everything the other medium offers while also sitting back and letting entertainment come to them, most individuals would choose the latter.

That why a work of adaptation must be done. An adaptation can be good, if adapted. Not transposed.
Also, sure, there are some elements that are better done in manga, and some better in anime.
But some things translates well in anime. And some things can even be sublimed by the adaptation. Some other times, and that might be the wisest choice for most, is to make an adaptation that has different qualities than the original.
For example, Berserk. Berserk manga is unique and impossible to reproduce fairly. But the anime did a good job at creating an unique atmosphere for itself, the mood conveyed by the art and the soundtrack.
Also, most of the Tetsuro Araki's adaptation that are kinda "action-oriented". Death Note ain't action-oriented at all, it would have been boring if it had been treated like Monster, but both anime and manga have interesting qualities. As for Shingeki no Kyojin, you can't find the creepy atmosphere created by the shitty drawing (unintentional but still) in the anime. Some people prefer the anime, and others the manga. Both are interesting takes on the franchise.
After that there are the most interesting cases like GITS or Patlabor.

I'd use it more often, but I don't have thethymeanymore.
There are certain scenes I need to see in motion. Like Uiharu getting fucked up or the upper half of Frenda's corpse.
It's not black and white. K-On for example the anime added tonnes to the themes and characters
