@komaiwa232 Manga = more works and greater creative diversity Anime = larger and more commercially developed? Do you agree with it?
"A lot of them ARE poorly written." Do you objectively think that way in all genres? I've heard some works like Berserks,One Piece,Naruto..etc. I never watched or read. They're popular and still might be good stories. It's not my taste. Generally, comics and animation is nothing new in the World. There are lots of high quality comics and anime. No offense, but If you are knowledgeable about them, you can teach me. When I look at the websites, everyone says something different. I want to read honest and critical arguments. "But when they hit? They HIT." Yeah, exactly. Damn. It's so good that I'll buy a physical copy.

@Her Okay first off I'm not offended at all You like what you like. I'm a screen-rotting gremlin so digital doesn't bother me, but I actually respect the 'going back to analog' thing. There's something about holding a physical book that hits different. I get it.
Also, buying a Monster print edition? That's a flex.
Now onto the real stuff:
1. 'Some gay readers enjoy r*pe as a fetish in fiction' okay that's... a lot. I mean, I knew those people existed but seeing it confirmed is wild. And the yuri point? Yeah, women can be trash too. No genre is safe. We really can't have nice things LMAOO.
2. 'If you have ADHD like me' GIRL. You waited until NOW to drop that? That explains the essay-length comments honestly. No judgment though I hyperfixate too, just on different stuff. But now I get why you said 'remember it' like that LMAOO.
3. The memoir-to-manga pipeline for Until I Meet My Husband is actually crazy. Like, imagine living through all that and then seeing it drawn as a manga? Wild. And yeah, Japan's marriage laws are still backwards on that. But at least we have creators like him putting real stories out there.
4. Your question about Manga vs Anime, hmm. I think manga has more creative diversity because it's cheaper to produce and less filtered. Anime has to go through studios, budgets, committees it gets sanitized. But anime reaches more people, so it feels 'bigger.' I'd say manga = more raw talent, anime = more polished product. But that's just my take.
Also... you asked if I think poorly written stuff is across ALL genres? Honestly? Yeah. Sturgeon's Law — 90% of everything is crap. Doesn't matter if it's comics, films, books, music. The 10% is what we remember. So when I say 'a lot of them are poorly written,' I mean it statistically, not like I hate the medium. I just hate lazy writing.
If you actually want honest recommendations with critical takes, I can try to put together a short list. But fair warning my taste might be trash to you since you're a film person
What's something you've watched recently (film or series) that actually impressed you? I'm curious what a 'film person' considers good.
