>Of course you, because you are fucking stupid. Manga is personal. Anime is just mainstream shit created by a huge team on an assembly line. Any artist with common sense searches mainly in manga for inspiration, not fucking anime.
Manga is just as much as a rushed assembly line of drones as anime can be, if you're only willing to look at the lowest common denominator.
Just because a work is created by a single person does not make the work any better. This only makes sense if the artist have a consistent, high level of artistic vision and integrity which is definitely not a common thing in manga, OR anime.
Generalizing an entire medium like that simply doesn't make any sense, especially seeing you are willing to single out a top 0.1% artist like Inoue to generalize the entire manga medium, but refuses to do the same for anime.
And of course when you're correctly studying anime, you aren't studying a random batch of keyframes by a random nobody from a random anime. You're studying specific keyframes by a specific artist they deem to be highly competent.

>Then go and show me a single picture in an anime which looks as good as pic related.
Ok.

>Anime obviously has better animations, sure, but manga has better single pictures.
Nobody is saying that you should never study manga or that you should only study anime by the literal sense. There's value in studying both. If you want to study a specific aspect like painterly rendering or hatching, then go ahead and study manga. Whatever is needed to improve a skillset you desire, you should do.
Trying to dogmatically confine yourself to something as arbitrary as a single medium just doesn't make any sense. It's much more productive to judge at the level of individual artists.
