well yeah long strip format purpose is so ppl have easier time with reading comic on phone
but still converting a traditional manga into long strip comic is extremely questionable if you ask me
especially when almost all of them look worse thanks to that
just try to read any manga release from INKR that converted to long strip and tell me if there is one title that look decent
it really doesn't matter if you have the physical, and I'm sure they just upload the pages normally on their apps or something
It just gives people options
I mean, it is wast of time from my point of view, but whatever
btw Shounen JUMP used to have fews long strip title
that got licensed in English at least
but most of them got axed anyway lol
American audience is weird
We keep the shit we read
I heard most manga gets thrown out in Japan
except thishttps://anilist.co/manga/108199/Tate-no-Kuni
A world stretching down from the heavens: the Vertical World. There lives a boy named Ruska, who finds himself fascinated by the world below. One day he sees a girl falling from the sky above, straight towards the bottom... And so begins his adventure surrounding the mystery of the Fallen Maiden!
is that meta?
@weak glacierbtw this is a nice scifi manga
it got classic western scifi novel vibe
I enjoyed this a lot
wdym by meta?
you mean popular?
the theme is pretty niche
plays into the long strip format, self-references itself
oh, no
JUMP+ does have several long strip manga titles now
but as far I aware, almost none of them licensed to english
so I suppose most (non-Japanese speaker) manga reader especially the casual never aware of their existences
I just stumbled upon them randomly
ore wa nihongo ga wakaranai kara zannendesune
are you referring to "ore twintail ni narimasu"
but i like it :/
i mean
if you ignore the plot
its not awful
its just the story is so bad
character writing sucks
plot sucks

@somber relic Here's some comic artwork
Way better color work than most manhwa
Imagine if they gave mangakas/manhwa time 
They did an excellent job for the color editions for HotD, but tbh they didn't have to do that much work
Like 4 volumes?
You have a phone that lasted for 7 years? 
This is the 3rd phone 😄
this is manhua btw
but i alway use that wallpaper

Manhua is intersting
the artist is a legendary Hongkong manhua artist
Manhua is a mixed bag
old veteran
In the year 2049, the Earth has settled into a period of relative peace, thanks in large part to the global efforts of GUTS--the Global Unlimited Task Squad--an international alliance dedicated to protecting mankind from threats within the planet and beyond. But when a mysterious meteor carrying an ominous message crashes next to GUTS headquarte...
too bad 99% modern manhwa exist doesn't look like that
lol
modern manhua nowadays are filled with mass produced trash
don't forget ai stuff now
Ultraman is chinese? 

Are we talking about chinese or korean?
Ultraman Tiga somehow yeah, don't ask me tho, not a fans of ultraman franchise
maybe it was adaptation or smthing
But manhua QC is inconsistently consistent
is that from after where the anime ended
Tiga is Chinese :/

both, but Manhua is 10 times worse
Iron Ladies keeps coming to mind
at least we got Boichi in manhwa scene now lol
I thought Ultraman is a show in japan
It is
it is
Just doubled check

This is a different manga :/
(i haven't read it)
which one 
I guess they were doing China market thing
I just checked into one of the recent chapters 
Glad my girl doing strong
I'm sure haru can translate
btw most of the artist work of the manhua I posted above already licensed in my country, but sadly none of them licensed in English
I owned one volume of the author's work btw
dang
What country you from?
I'm singaporean yes copium
I figured

one of Mangadex staff I know is singaporean and he can confirm
indonesian or malay
Ding Yuan is my favorite manhua character
(not the warlord)
Jesus, talking about any Iron Ladies characters, I'm like NO that's not the ancient chinese person™️
malay/melayu
Malay supposed to be the indeginous languange of their country

Have you try in Japanese
surely iron ladies wiki has it written
定遠
doesn't always work
Better than nothing

since same name spelled in english can be written differently
slow af
Imma use my name to search on pixiv
I mostly use it for searching pirated rare japanese music though
Chinese literally got anything
Always can count on that random Chinese uncle to start a business out of anything
I find some weird stuff
ayyyy lmaooo
Oh well
Man i'm sleepy
Iron Lady is decently popular there so it's not surprising
fucking hell
There ain't shit on google
even a manhua that barely known by western manga community have their own nendo merch as well

how I click on the website
For all the shit I give China, Ding Yuan stole my heart
Now I won't shut up about a random estoric manhua to a Western audience

Use what
most of the time I just asked my chinese friend to find stuff there
lol
lot of Canadian-Chinese I met in discord somehow have massive knowledge regarding piracy topics
I almost thought Ramz was a Canadian as well
most of the time they use weibo
biggest social media platform there
Twitter?
or they just use pixiv as well

oh there is Bilibili as well, though Bilibili is more focused on video content, similar with NicoNicoDouga
Bro she got her own sneakers?
They really pushing it with thise one lmaoooo
sorry for image spam
It's just I'm taking aback about the amount merchandising
remember china is 1 bil + people
so something that appeals to 1% of the population is still like a million people lol
million 10 million
wtf
I'm caught off guard by western memes
and you still don't count their diaspore lol
my "chinese" friends I mentioned here are all chinese canadian/american
yea that too
bruz google gonna think I'm Chinese now
Who cares
i just adblock everything away
They won't get an accurate profile on me
Same 
pogu
Oh that's blood brilliant
They exist because otherwise, the industry devolves into a nepotistic mess where only those with connections (aka the rich, or with family ties) can get any business done
Which is even worse for creativity
And as Sam can probably tell you
Is why Indian film and especially TV industry sucks like hell in certain regions (languages)
start speaking tree to distract google
except manga and manhwa market are completely fine before WN content invaded the market
the golden age of manhwa when original manhwa is flourishing and we have various amount of genre circulating around
and manga not flooded with low quality isekai and romcom based on LN

also the time when we don't have manhwa with mass-produced art quality
now manga and manhwa's creativity level are getting way worse with WN adaptation circulating around if anything
especially with manhwa, it's way worse
at least with manga there are still some big manga magazine that stay faithful with original manga
but that's not the case with manhwa
now original manhwa is so fucking doomed in the market
i have 5 lns on me currently from the library, and the only one thats not isekai/fantasy and/or romcom is 86 
At this point I have to ask
How strong is the connection between WN and direct to manga adaptations

Cos Haru is making it sound like it's the source of all the world's evils
wn -> manga is rare for jp at least
cause all the isekai trash gets insane views on webnovel sites (kakuyomu, syosetu, etc.), then publishers notice and license them into lns, which then gets further licensed into manga
also it's not take long to wait the transition between the adaptation from WN to LN to manga
But LN->Manga adaptations are always monthlies...
not like adaptation of anime
yea usually its less than 2 years between vol 1 of ln publish and manga being launched
I still don't see how the concern is that relevant tbh
number of manga artists is finite
well its not increasing at the same rate that isekai trash is being pumped out thats for sure
I mean you say that Sam
also you have manga artists wasting talent on isekai trash
instead of stuff with more potential

But even with the large majority of said isekai trash
Their manga adaptations are horrendous
yes
yes, we pretty much already reach the point that lot of Hentai doujin artist that have zero fucking clue with how to draw action manga working on fantasy manga
aaand also this
The mangaka that end up drawing LN adaptations
Probably aren't that good to begin with lmao
So I think little is lost honestly
or more like they are greenhorn
they have talent
but it's hard to enter the market with a lot of mass-produced garbage nowadays
so one of the way is to join the bandwagon instead
win a newcomer competition at jump obviously
entering one-shot contest in a proper manga magazine
instead of enter the pro scene with shortcut
called working at trash WN/LN adaptation of manga
Is that really a shortcut tho
yes, because trash JP publisher like Alphapolis is desperate and basically will take anyone
Also, the industry is already far too high in demand for just competition winners to hard carry lmao
kagurabachi pogu
Alphapolis literally only got wn adaptation trash
So if anything, blame the increase in the number of fans
yes
Which sounds extremely dumb
its a never ending cycle
I've read one with stunning art and battle, but it's Hmanga
trash fan taste -> more trash content to satsify that taste -> takes away from actual good content -> more fans get trash taste -> cycle repeats
like regression manhwa
regression manhwa make the IQ of their reader regressed indeed
some with zero character development, bcs that's what the fans likes
one of the dumbest premise in a fiction I ever seen
I find that if the whole point of the story is character growth
And you don't show it
What's the bloody point even
Make it a damn power fantasy at that point
No one expects character development from a power fantasy
you say that like its not already a power fantasy
As in
because they are always sugar-coated power fantasy title lmao
Clearly make it one
strike through text
i love strike through text
||spoiler||
how to strike through text
Tho I suppose you could argue that Rimuru goes through 1 major character development throughout the entire series
~~TEXT HERE~~
And that 1 character development is that
"Some humans are assholes", and those deserve to be crushed
mc with zero character development is one thing
but at least make the sides have chara deplopment lmao
don't just mc centric and kaboom
whut
twintail
copy paste this into your discord text bar, and press enter
then see what i mean

~~TEXT HERE~~

here is the thing
most of those author don't want to use their brain when writing the stories, and clearly barely of them doing any proper research for their story either
visual studio code
TEXT HERE real
What research do you want people to do for their power fantasies

What, "how to write a story?"
is this right
Yes
rising action, climax, conclusion where 
🪑
for manga & manhwa especially the action one, you probably will notice this when reading the current shittty fantasy one
-shit combat action because the artist barely do any research about how human body move when doing a basic martial art move
-poor transition scene between panel
it probably sounds like trivial thing, but it's actually fatal
Oh that I can understand
like this
Ex-arm manga isn't that bad tbh
anime fucked up
decent actually art-wise
similar to kingdom
anime now: BB anime girl
and Sawano is the one who working on the ost
blasphemy
anime then:BB anime girl
Yeah the anime was
na he only joined it from s3 onward



and Kingdom manga is great as well
s3 was when they did a staff overhaul and stuff
And kingdom has
so then it became good
but you know, good manga with bad anime adaptation curse
5 seasons now?
I meant
🦭
🦭
also no offense but I'm surprised that you actually watch Kingdom anime, is it because of Sawano?

i heard manga was good
Ex-arm anime was horrendous because they thought it would be a good idea
To get a studio that has never done animation for anime
To do animation
then i was like fuck it ill watch the anime
so im like 20 ish ep through s1 so far
maybe more
one of the best war manga you can find that still ongoing atm, also arguably the most popular war manga ever exist
Kingdom used to stay in top 10 manga selling chart consistently
we need something like shoukoku no altair again
though personally Kingdom isn't in my top 5 war drama manga
thats why i started it
also i checked and im 17 episodes in
there are some better war drama manga but all of them have smaller popularity compared to Kingdom
when Shin as body double role somehow joined the fight instead right
shin?
Xin/Shin
yes xin
king is the body double
still the prince
yes
both of them are in the middle of fighting henchman
something liek that
arc almost done
xin is the original chinese name, Shin is the japanese name version
in anime he called as Shin right?
or not lol
shin is the pronounciation yes
It's not like my Michaelsoft Binbows posters isn't already
its spelled zheng
xin/shin sounds the same to my ears
But I'm just a white guy from Texas

the crunchyroll subtitles use the cn name spelling
the most american take I seen in discord today
even if its not pronounced like it in the anime
like with the other guys with longer names
Me trying ら、り、ろ、れ、る will give a Japanese person a stroke

I can't do that weird sound between an l and r, just kinda default to a strong R
"ra" is closer to a British "r" than an American "r"
I kinda don't like Altair but not because it's a bad manga, but it's because it's a super goddamn-loose historical manga and it's more like a fantasy manga than a historical manga
I'd rather have a pure fictional war drama manga instead like Arslan Senki
that not based on historical event
Quickest way to tell the difference between a British and an American accent is how they pronounce the Rs 
If you want to really make a fool out of an American, tell them to roll an R, like the spaniards/mexicans do 
Pronouncing rural will give a Japanese person a stroke, I'll tell you
yes
"th" sound will fuve any non english speaker a stroke
I mean
Ash is no longer the MC anymore
So he's free of his 10 years of age curse
wait which one ash


who
I mean did anyone not see that coming
who's that🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️
the adult guy with green ish hair
who's the gurl🔥🔥
I'm out of the pokemon loop
his partner is serena (kalos)
Kekw
serena has the best drip too
It's less offscreen

Rare nintendo W
bruh
the curse of kid anime/manga lol
i mean from ash's previous age to his age on that poster
Scottish trainer 
Nah mike
nah mike
🐴
Same for Serena
who :l
life tough
10 yrs lad has to cross cities
pokemon
Mike, explain yourself 
I know it;s pokemon but which character


serena (kalos protagonist)

I mean realistically
its fanart
The only other person Ash would end up with

Is Misty
But I doubt that would have ever happened
I thought about that
wait


Dawn and May were more neutral
Mike. you ever read the shit before posting?
iris was the most neutral
Although it's clear that Misty was definitely closer as a friend
no?
then add the gen 7 stuff
Iris was outright antagonistic at times

I want scottish trainer
And then somehow became the champion
Nintendo

the pokemon games themselves aren't voiced
so that wouldn't help lol

wait what
same VA that did Jean?

Like
You telling me the woman who voiced in my CHRISTIAN TV show Veggie Tales, also voiced in Genshin? 
I don't think y'all understand the importance of Veggie Tales
Iris sharing VAs with Taihou and Tanya and Maomao is hilarious
ok, but I think whoever wrote that is wrong
It was Della Saba?
EEEW
She's a Londoner

No wonder why that accent was familar
Taihou with high pitched voice still feels uncanny to me even now tbh
I still feel that
the reason why I never like her voice
Taihou and Kawakaze should have swapped VAs
Incidentally, Kawakaze's VA is also
And
Which is the most bizarre thing ever
I'm still trying to process
The Jean's VA from Genshin also had a role in Veggie Tales
tf why she credit for gloria
She's from Utah
ooooh that explains it
I bet $10 she's was/is mormon
Quite a high proability 
These share a same VA
This feels a bit fake 
I had a feeling
@somber relic why is baidu search so limited with image search?

I can't believe that after all the hyping up I did in my head based on basically nothing, Frieren ended up just as good as I expected it to be if not better 
At least first 12 episodes (I'll wait for the rest till continuing)

weird how yoasobi re-releases their anime songs in english

Huh?
was theresa a novel character or irl char
im maybe mixing up omniscient reader viewpoint
Yes you may have
so theresa doesnt have any mysterious blocks like ||how alice was censored||
Nah
in starail you can put your named down as heisenberg in the hotel review
You can also answer March's shower comment with "I got a bad feeling about this"
Anyways is it abnormal to be watching muliple shows rather than just finishing at least a season of one first?
Ritt is adorable yes
Lewd as well
Very much so
Still remember how pissed she got when their bed got wrecked by an intruder

Akshually
For those who don't know the meaning of his name "AL-Haitham" it's an Arabian origin name and it's written " الهيثم" in Arabic. His name means "young eagle" or "young hawk" It is highly popular among Middle Eastern communities The name is used by Muslims, Jews and Christians .
wasnt this cos it was time consuming
she wasnt that lewd yet
Nah their house did get wrecked by an intruder
And the bed was one of the casualties
ye
I think this is one of the things the anime missed out on
it was in the manga
That said
Rip
When you think about it
Both figuratively and literaturally
It's pretty unusual how Ritt went to seek him out
Shows how much she cared for him lmao
Even tho they weren't exactly the best of friends initially
Also @somber relic new LN vol of the Undead Unwanted Adventurer
define irl char
so in omniscient viewpoint
there were some humans that spawned with the sudden world change right
some of them were part of the novel, but some other dudes werent part of the story and are normal humans
so IRL

or like the murim humans, they are tower humans, not IRL humans
same thing

I gotta roll dice for April

lfg
That I do
Based
this art isnt derpy enough
Fairouz Ai as a VA already makes it derpy enough
After all
hmm
and the third most important character in skeleton knight
I still remember how she said in an interview
behind arc-des and ponta
and then everyone hated her in jojo

This is very wholesome series
Update

New chap yes

That's
spoiler she is just tsun
EHAT THIS NAME
Ichizu Bitch-Chan
This
At least spell properly if you're gonna big bold the thing
ok ender sama
sorry I'll stop


this is the most based list

Are they gonna animate the whole manga do you think?
depends on the degen level
I mean I just like the nice animation
Like the night sky looks top
it's not that degen
so likely no
middle schooler dating 30 something year old vamp?

I never expected moriarty the patriot to remind me of kuroshitsuji 
I didn't expect the kuroshitsuji one since it was ciel's flashbacks arc 
Moriarty the Butler I suppose

They are kidnapping kids from the street and torturing them 
I remember the kuroshitsuji one was cause alot of people were obsessed with Vincent whose actually ciel's dad , so someone went into thier Manor and killed everyone there excluding ciel and his twin and then they sold them and things happened which led to summoning Sebastian who is the butler now

I remember a character got a surgery cause he wanted to look like vincent in the manga

I know vincent looks good , but he was married already but other characters kept wanting him 
Even the guys 
This all happened in the manga

I forgot to say here that thier Manor got burned after they took ciel and his twin , so the corpses turned into ashes 
I've seen this before
stomp her

that one is ant though
not the roaches one
Ah right

Did your emote cringe hard that it didn't work 
the ants are brown and have antennae tho
oh, nevermind. that's the ant
i found one where they're black with antennae in one panel and black without antennae in the second panel
that's confusingly inconsistent

Anyone here read wortentia saga?
