  • The sheer volume and variety of anime and manga is why it has such a reach

    There’s only about a dozen things that always pop up when you mention western animations, regardless of the genre or target audience

    Why? My personal guess is that it costs too much/doesn’t generate a lot of profit and that due to that, series don’t build on top of each other like they do in Korea or Japan

    Example off the top of my head, Korea has a lot of “awakened player” stories like Solo Leveling, the anime of which you may have seen recently; those stories are good because they keep building off of each other, eliminating the boring tidbits and coming up with more creative ways for the stuff that is interesting, and more importantly, its current, not 10 years ago, not 20, they refine the genre every season and it gets incrementally better, something that has simply not been happening in the west for a good long while now.


















  • They do the same with stickers here, spelling out entire phrases on the trunk, not just the frame license plate

    You can tell them to remove it when they sell it to you but often times they try to get out of doing that, lack of tools or some bs.

    Long story short, it’s why I own a plastic razor scraper

    Unstickered about 2 dozen cars so far for people I know, ain’t much, but better than driving around with ads on your car.
