>>5089390I'm going to be replying to this thread with a very BASED answer that I'm pretty sure a lot of the previous responses have brought up piecemeal.
Why is Manga and Anime simply more superior to Western cartoons and most especially comics? That answer is surprisingly simple.
Reason 1: American art is fucking stale. (Duh) The rest of the replies on the thread also say this. The classical Loomis style perpetuated by artists like Jim Lee, George Perez, Michael Turner (may he rest in peace), Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby are immensely out of date. I grew up reading comics made by these guys and yes, they were awesome and they have influenced me subconsciously as an artist.
Yet, the American comics industry became as stale as hardened cement, at least artistically. Sure, there are manga copycats here and there but they lack any authenticity and are clearly just trying to mirror a more popular and superior art form.
Reason 2: The reason for Manga and Anime's supremacy over the Western styles and mediums is quite obvious. They got them big waifu tiddies and hot sexy babes that are absent as fuck in most commercial American comics. Sure, the western world and more specifically, the USA is progressive as fuck nowadays but not in the way it appeals to hormonal teen boys (and gals). I don't think disabled trannies, Black landwhales, and Twitter garbage like Safespace and Snowflake. At least manga/anime have good looking gay and lesbian people.
# 3: This endless cement-hard LEFT WING political circle jerking that is injected in every fucking issue. Whether it be identity/woke politics, LGBT, Anti-Trump nonsense, or canceling famous Celebrities is beside the point. Can't we just have some quality entertainment? Who gives a shit about these issues anyway.
#4: Manga and its production, regardless of lack of color rarely disappoint. Read Berserk, Kingdom, Punpun, Jojo, and Vagabond. You''ll see what I mean. Western comic books rarely depict proper fight scenes.
