Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the fr! :3

Of course not lol. You don't have to worry about that at all.
No problem! I'm glad we can have conversations like this ^.^

(Sorry for the late response. I'll be honest, I was lazy to respond up until now. I'm not fond of responding to long texts. Especially when I'm busy)


True. What is considered mature can be relative. Just with movies is trying to sound mature but fail to do so. Not everyone is going to share that opinion, they think otherwise.


Agreed. The target demographic doesn't inherently change the quality. Similar with shounen anime. Just because it targets a younger demographic, it doesn't make it lower quality. Granted, they tend to use tropes and similar writing formulas, but there's nothing wrong with them since they can help differentiate or enhance a work. But if used carelessly, it can be cliche. A shounen/shoujo anime is only hindered by the writer and the execution towards it. I guess what I'm getting at is that there seems to be more cash grab works nowadays with animanga as it's growing.


Yea, I wish I told my younger self that.


Fair. I feel the same way. I don't watch his videos anymore for that exact reason.


It be like that.. just like with vtubers. 2019-2021 were the peak years.

Sorry, what I meant to say is that people have misconceptions about anime due to the fanservice or odd stuff the content contains. Yea, you can say that other mediums have it, but it is much more prevalent in anime. It seems now animanga values franchising more. Of course, other mediums are guilty of this but it is more prevalent in anime. You'll see a lot of isekai light novel adaptations nowadays. What you said is true with a lot of people, but I know numerous people that avoid anime like it's the plague. Personally, I have a friend who is exactly like this even though Studio Ghibli was a part of his childhood. As for the average joe, I know a lot of friends that are like that but used to despise anime. They would flame me for liking "Chinese" cartoons. Bandwagons man...



For sure! Though as I mentioned just now, I think it's much more prevalent in anime. At least with film or literature, the target demographic is more diversified and plenty of content aims at adults, which means better quality control in writing and execution.



True. Especially with gaming, there has been less passion, especially with single player games. It seems like everyone is focusing on Esports since there's merit to it. If you get good, you can make content to promote your streams and make big money. Or you can make tournament earnings as well. I've taken a break from Valorant and Apex to explore other games. I recently played Outer Wilds. One of the best puzzle (if not best) game I've played. It just evokes a lot of cathartic emotions.



There are people that acknowledge anime in the vaster film/cinematic world. With works such as Perfect Blue, Ghost in the Shell or any Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai film for example. But most normies I know either do not watch anime or absolutely loathe it for the sake of hating. What you said about gaming is true and it will probably be the same for anime soon. Depending on how it's used, any form of human expression is art.





I wish that was true. But to be fair it's only a small amount of people that feel this way.



Facts. Gonna keep it 100 and say that they were never real fans. Real ones stay!



Glad that you decided to explore anime! I know what you mean. The profound sense of melancholy in change that comes with the passage of time. Slice of Life is just a reflection of our everyday life: the day where you have a heartfelt encounter with an old friend, then spend the night telling each other stories and talking about life itself. Its essence and emphasis lies in the small and mundane moments that bear the heart of it. It makes you cherish those small moments. This is why I adore Mono no Aware, SoL, iyashikei, coming of age, CGDCT, and drama.

While anime does have a diverse fanbase, you don't see people talk about it in western media since it's not as popular. Maybe except for some rappers and celebrities but that's probably it. Also, due to the misconceptions people have about anime, you'll get flamed for talking about anime or even having an anime pfp. There's so many misconceptions people have about anime in the mainstream media due to the "effortless" shows made. If the industry tries delicately without any rush, the narrative told through anime and manga can contend with the most critically acclaimed shows, films, and novels. But since the medium is predominantly populated with mediocre (by mediocre I simply mean shows with common tropes without any depth in the story or characterization) and worse media—and it's getting more hopeless as time passes—90% of production companies, producers, and authors want to create anime, manga, and light novels that will be popular, so they rely on overly used formulas and generic themes when writing, thus yielding a ton of stuff. It's seen as nerdy, weird, perverted, etc. You can find Ghibli films but what are the chances they would put their time into these movies especially with the misconception's they have? It also doesn't help with the fact it's foreign, so it's mainly a cultural difference issue. In the U.S., we don't really expand our horizons. But honestly, we shouldn't care about pleasing the normies. Despite the issues animanga has, I adore this medium the most.

What I love about animanga is the fact that it's more... honest? Whether that'd be the fanservice, storytelling, etc. As it gets more popular we won't be getting these types of shows anymore. I sometimes gatekeep anime since people love to complain about fiction for some reason. (Such as Berserk. Twitter tried to cancel it)

You're welcome! The goal with my interest stacks is to showcase what animanga is capable of. That it can be more than not just mere entertainment, but a work of art as well. Since people who are not familiar with anime share a lot of misconceptions on it. I hope I shed light for the mature audience.

I agree with you human.. that expression is indeed funny..
but you would never know for sure.. cause laughing is forbidden among felines.

Wonder egg.. was a wonderful show
I do like your pfp more than mine..
since apparently I lack shame and decent manners.

thanks for the friendly request human
