I agree that most of this shyt is just not worth watching :scusthov:, but there's some good anime out there, especially the stuff from the 90's and 80's. Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in The Shell, Akira, Berserk, Fist Of The North Star stuff like that is quality sci-fi and seriously some of the best animated programming ever produced, and DBZ was :wow: growing up, we can all agree.

Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Sword Art etc. are hot garbage, but if people find joy in it, let them :yeshrug:. I'm not heavily into it myself, but there's no need to judge dudes for being black and into it.



Basically.

Naruto, Bleach etc were made for little boys / teenage boys. Not for men.

Berserk, FoTNS, Cowboy Bebop were made for young adults/ grown men.

No doubt. The best anime is usually the stuff for adults, but I think even some teen/youth/family targeted shows like Hunter X Hunter and Miyazaki films are light years ahead of Bleach, naruto etc. Hunter X Hunter (which Naruto ripped off smh) is pretty solid for that teenage boy demographic/genre.

I peeped the character in your av (google image), and from what I can see "Blaster Knuckle" looks pretty tough :whew:. I'll check it out.

Togashi ( Hunter x Hunter ) can actually write and doesn't follow the typical shonen tropes. Same goes for Studio Ghibli. I prefer shows/movies with characters that have gray morality. It's also one of the reasons why I can't stand American comics and TV shows.

It's pretty good. One of the few mangas with a Black main character.

I thought it was just an original character not from manga or anything in your sig. Might check that out.

And yes, Togashi doesn't just do shonen tropes which is why he's better than 99% of mangakas. HXH and Yu yu Hakusho is better than almost all the competition.

Nah. I can't draw that good... yet. :lolbron: Maybe one day when I get an art tablet I'll make a cool comic for all the brehs out there.

More Manga authors should focus on their writing skills tbh.
