i know itsjust bait but ive seen people criticise every manga/anime in that image

It's been a long while since I've seen a Freesia thread. There are Jiro Matsumoto storytimes of course. Same for Homunculus. I'd imagine the criticism for homunculus is the ending and/or that it seems to an entry point for psychological stories here.

I enjoy manga about as much as I enjoy anime. I think that anime allows for higher peaks, but manga has more artistic merit as projects are made by one to two people as opposed to the large teams required for making top of the end anime. There's a lot more of the creator put into manga works on average than anime, which is something I value a lot.

The experience of reading manga is a lot easier in some aspects and a lot harder in others. Reading a chapter is a lot easier to do than watch a full length episode. On the other hand there are proportionally so many less manga series translated in English than anime series. And even the ones that do have scanlations aren't necessarily completed/up-to-date. My biggest grievance with manga is reading something I like only for it to not get updates for months due to scanlators not continuing their work.

Stops making sense the moment you realize that most anime and manga adaptations

Just the other day I saw Freesia criticized as terrible for being “amateur”

Most manga don't have adaptations

Yes, hence why
>On the other hand there are proportionally so many less manga series translated in English than anime series
doesn't make any sense, considering that you will always find more manga than anime and if you get an anime, the manga counterpart is most likely already ending or even finished

A while ago I saw Freesia be noted as the only manga that's /lit/ tier, quite the difference in opinions.

Bro the point is that the amount of anime that you can't find subbed is much smaller than the amount of manga you can't find translated. If you think this doesn't make sense, then you haven't read much manga.

2/2

If this is meant to represent Any Forumscore tastes, I'd probably replace some with/add Baki, Chainsaw Man, Voynich Hotel, and Summit of the Gods.
Maybe skip Chainsaw Man if its too 'mainstream'.

i like how you blend trash like baki and csm with actual good series like VH and SotG

The OP already does that.
Its meant to be an image that shows what people on Any Forums like and feel smart for liking.

I like csm so far. It's a bit too fast, but it's solid, not as good as fire punch though. Recent Any Forums core for ongoing ones would probably also mean the fable as well probably. You could also find some other jiro taniguchi manga up there besides summit of the gods, probably a distant neighborhood or the walking man.

Surprised Akagi or Kurosawa isn’t on this.

>Recent Any Forums core for ongoing ones would probably also mean the fable as well probably
No such thing as "Any Forums core" since 80% of what is being shown on the catalogue is ecchi bait and meme manga

I enjoy reading Manga more, because i don't have the chill to sit still for 20 minutes to watch something.
Also i can portion the chapters over my day and read whenver even when i'm out and about.

>If this is meant to represent Any Forumscore tastes
It's not, you already said this the last time the image was posted. Baki is a shounen, all the picks in the OP are seinen.

The creator of the image must have liked those.

I have no idea what you're talking about.
All OP did was go to an 3x3 thread and pick out what was posted the most commonly. The magazine demographics of the series in the image probably never occurred to them, and didn't occur to me until you brought them up.

I filtered by Seinen in AniList and MAL and picked popular stuff I recognized. I didn't even consider FKMT at all, I completely forgot he existed.
If you've already convinced yourself of that, I can't help you.

For me manga>anime

My problems with homunculus wasn't the ending, I think it did it fantastically, or the main story beats, my biggest problem was the pacing through the middle, especially considering how great the first couple of volumes flowed one to another. It felt like it was repeating itself at times, and overall 15 volumes was a bit too much for what it's trying to do. Still a great series though, but its the only thing I've read from the author, his other popular work is ichi the killer, how is it compared to homunculus?
