how do you emotionally invest yourself in manga? anime has music, voice acting, sound effects, and is animated at a deliberate pace
with manga it's just black and white pictures you're looking at and you read as slow or as fast as your brain dictates
whenever there's an anime I can't help but feel like it's the "real" version while the manga isn't just because I don't understand how you get emotionally invested in something you can only read
Am I the only one who feels this way?
you ever read a fucking book before? you use your brain to fill in the gaps
seems like you have zero imagination
This is your average zoomer ladies and gents. They've officially been stupified from decades of bad teaching.
being a tripnigger is unironically worse
Use your imagination?
Do you have an internal monologue by anychance?
I use my fucking imagination to simulate all the sensory feedback every character is experiencing, including emotional sense. Do you not read novels for fun?
I read WT with the anons here and its fucking great makes boring chapters feel fun and engaging when everyone is hypothesizing future shit and making fun of characters.
Sounds like you don't have a good reason to be vested in the medium.
I prefer anime to manga but you're being retarded op
I saw a green apple
literally nobody is 2-5 besides the like 2% of the population that has aphantasia
the only books I read were the ones I was forced to read in school
I hate reading
I also have OCD and it makes reading a genuine struggle, I even have a hard time with subtitles
good manga has better animation than anime
NAYRT but I feel for you. I'm convinced reading is something you are either meant or not meant to like. My brother used to be a huge reader, one TBI later and the boy can't even concentrate on manga much less a whole book. I think it's still worth trying to make yourself read stuff though. Maybe you can start with manga that's more visuals heavy than dialogue heavy.
The older you get you will realize that less is more and abandon your reddit ways.
I like the art, the greater world detail, and the geater introspection. Alita is my favorite manga.
based but why do you have this saved on your computer
>says the tripfag being an attention whore
YOU READ THE WORDS! YOU READ! YOU READ! YOU READ! If you feel a giggle when an user makes you laugh, or mad when you rightfully get called a faggot, that's also a form of being emotionally invested. If you're able to do that when on Any Forums, then you should have no trouble when reading manga or a book
People can get emotionally invested in books too, which are just text. Being able to determine the pace yourself (to an extent) and what you read being your own personal version is part of what I like about manga (and books). With anime adaptations you're watching the manga filtered through the many people working on it, which may be different than what you would get if you read the manga yourself and might not mesh with you.
You use your imagination to fill up the gaps
You know, just like with a novel... but I doubt you ever read one, zoomer
>you read as slow or as fast as your brain dictates
When the art is good, I like to savor the amount of effort the artist puts into panels that most people will skim past in 1 second.
> SPOONFEED EVERYTHING, I WANT TO BE PASSIVE, BE MESMERIZED BY MOVING IMAGES, FLASHING LIGHTS AND SOUND
You're the reason why CG Hollywood crap is so popular
