Why do some of you exclusively watch anime/read manga?I mean there are a lot of great movies, television, comics from other countries out there too. I see no reason to stick with one country.
I watch law and orderIt's pretty much always on so I dont really have a choice.
but that stuff isn't from glorious nippon, you baka gaijin
>>30471780I love Law and OrderIt never gets old.
>Implying
i dislike 3D actors and manga/anime is about the only format that takes 'cartoons' seriously
>>30471820There are quite a few comics out there that are quite serious.
3D media are just as silly, and not as pleasant to look at.
People don't read manga or watch anime on /a/. We just troll.
>>30471820Bullshit, nobody dislikes Robert Downey Jr.
I think /a/ has a lot to do with it. I mean I'm constantly trying to keep up with /a/ so I don't have a lot of time for other stuff. I don't even play video games much anymore.
>>30471767 I actually do, marathoned Megas XLR yesterday - it was glorious.
>>30471767I moved my PC to the room without a TV.
>>30471863didn't mean seriously as in subject matter, rather a general acceptance as a mode of expression granting it certain freedoms.
I watch TV and anime, but I rarely read manga.
>>30471767all stuff on tv are so fucking long
>>30471767Because only the japanese have a good supply of new shows every month a few here and there from other countries is easy to miss and not much to build a hobby on.To be honest I can't even say a single animated show from another country that is really good.
Yes, I do enjoy everything you listed. I don't think much of superhero comics in general because they read like Naruto in terms of quality but I thought the Watchmen is good, and Batman can be good, mostly because of the Joker
The only time I watch TV is when the Lakers play.
I sometimes watch tv but the list of things I enjoy is very short. I also read books rather than manga.
Anime is easier to download, especially older stuff.That's the only reason.
I don't own a TV. Don't know what shows even air in the US anymore, so don't bother downloading anything.
>>30472076Batman TAS is good anime-level quality.
Yesterday I watched Groundhog Day .. Now that's a good Loop
Not interested in comics and what's on TV. I stopped watching TV years ago anyway.
>>30471767Is dat some Clannad? Why is Ryou crying?
I turned on the TV about a week ago for whatever reason, and Catch me if you can with Leonardo Di Caprio was on. That movie is awesome. It's like Monster
I know no other comic style than manga(korean is fine 2) that I manage to enjoy. As for story, All american comics I've read so far other than V for vendeta has been terribly boring and unintressting. But yea, there's great movies out there as well.
No fansubbers.
>there are a lot of great movies, television, comics from other countriesNo, not really.
>>30472206Tomoya revealed his closet pedo
>>30472154Batman? seriously dont you have anything but superhero crap to point to. SURE some of them aren't bad but its been done to much and stoped being interesting a long time ago.
What is that French anime? The one with the hot elf girl?
"Great" doesn't mean the best, there's obviously something better around.
>>30472307being done much doesn't make it any less awesome.Batman just got better and better with each season
>>30472307Avatar: The Last AirbenderAnd Batman TAS is the pinnacle of "superhero crap", and Sunrise helped with production, ya know.
>>30472330wakfu
>>30471952hello there myself!most of my free time is spent on /a/, anime in second place and vidya in third (manga some times like weekends or holidays)
>>30472154Yeah but it ended in 1995. There is a gap between Western and Japanese cartoons. Japanese cartoons aren't the glorious, super deep philosophical masterpieces some of the people around here seem to think they are but there is definitely a very large gap and there has been for 20+ years. On the movie and especially comic front the gap isn't as wide. I cannot think of a single non comedic Western cartoon series that is blatantly aimed at a 16+ audience (and I'm not talking about sex and gore).
I like anything with a good story. It doesn't matter where it came from as long as I can believe that "wow I can totally understand everything"
