/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Surely you mean corours.

ITT we remember when American comics were drawn by Americans.

>>3060132
Eat shit, Gurihiru is awesome

>>3060132
I'm pretty sure Japanese don't remember when American artists started doing manga style.

THE DOCTOR WHO JUST CAN'T READ THE MOOD

>>3060132
Nope

>>3060161
Sniktbub looks vexed.

>>3060175
1/1½? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

Needs less super hero garbage.

>>3060198
You just omitted 99½% of all american comics.

Reverse weeaboos are pretty interesting.

>>3060181
Given power pack has the explicit purpose of making superheroes look like creepy pedophiles, it's not surprising.

Japan really looooved Iron Man.

>>3060212
>Reverse weeaboo

Like this guy?

>>3060221
Considering how sexy they look, anyone would go pedo for them.

>>3060221
Did you know they made comics about you, /jp/?

how come all american comics are about superheroes? Theres no imagination, unlike in Japanese ones which are about everything under the sun.

>>3060253
Used goods ,man.

>>3060258
European comics are good too.

>>3060258
They are not.
You just know of only main streamlined DC/Marvel comics.
Kind how like /a/ only knows and judges translated manga series(though now more and more older series are worked on)

This guy is the greatest ameriboo ever

>>3060272
Fuck yes.

>>3060261
You're the best, Tony.

>>3060274
>main streamlined

I never thought I would see rivers mixed up with aerodynamics.

>>3060272
Tell me about it.
You can go to /co/ and say 'Moebius' or 'Hugo Pratt' and most people will have no idea.

>>3060258

Well, not really. A lot of western comics are about different thing, just not the popular ones. And popular Japanese comics aren't actually about everything under the sun; they tend to lack originality too. You have your shoujo romance, your shounen fighting, your cooking/sports/gambling/pick-a-random-generic-activity manga. The core plots are very few. Again though, the less mainstream manga tends not to rely on cliched, hackneyed plots.

Well, you see, westerners are not as fucking lazy as asians.

THIS THREAD MAKE AYUMI BECOME TRURY ANGRY!

>>3060297

Wow. How about Herge and the like? Tintin was fucking awesome.

>>3060320
Well, they know Herge, Goscinny and a few big titles like W.I.T.CH, but the European scene is largely ignored in /co/.
Same for Latin American comics.

>>3060297
...You're kidding, right? God damn, my dad used to buy all kinds of comics and stuff so I grew up reading Corto Maltese, Inspector Canardo and whatever else.

>>3060336
>Well, they know Herge, Goscinny and a few big titles like W.I.T.CH, but the local comic book scene is largely ignored in the rest of the world where it is not local.

>>3060308
Who is this chick with the chompers?

>>3060352

Are you trying to imply European comics have a limited, local audience? If so, ｗｗｗｗｗｗ.

>>3060352
Europe is a fucking continent.
Most of these are available in English, internet or otherwise.
If they just limit themselves to a minimal aspect of American comics, their loss.
Pretty much why I do not post there anymore, and just lurk on release days.

>>3060297
Really? Don't they have any euros posting there?

>>3060371
>>3060374
I'm saying only some comics make it to the global audience.

You mentioned popular European comics that /co/ because they've reached across the pond.

Likewise, you think you know ALL the American comics being in Europe? Of course not, you only know that which reaches you because it is that popular. Then there are those who take the time to learn about lesser known comics of the world.

Quit acting like you're some kind of victim of American geocentricism.

>>3060374
AMERICANS READING AMERICAN COMICS?
EUROPEANS READING EUROPEAN COMICS?!

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?

>>3060405
I actually know more, because I have actively searched instead of waiting only for what can reach me. I am no victim, as I get to read my comics, and I have no real problem if others do not discuss them. I've been reading comics far longer than I had had access to the web.
Like a few people in /jp/ search for VNs outside of the ones released in English.

>>3060388
Not many, I'd wager.

>>3060258

You forget about Garactus. Can you not understand that he not rive on pranet, he EAT it! Garactus is pure genius. You are fairu.

I don't like colours in my manga.

Covers look good in colour, however when you get a page with multiple cells all coloured it just becomes a clusterfuck.

>>3060440
>colours
>colour

>>3060454
Colour
Armour
Honour
Flavour
Grey

>>3060454
Are you retarded, or trolling? I can't tell, what with the reaction image and green text. Either way, back to /a/ please.

>>3060454
Hey Amerifag.

>>3060440

You think you've seen clusterfuck?

>>3060464

Your that moron OP from the classical jap thread. You sound the same in every post....sad

>>3060459
>>3060464
>>3060466
Third world crack babies

>>3060489
Actually, I'm an amerifag, brosuke.

>>3060487
I don't think I am, unless you're talking about a very old thread. Also, learn to spell "you're" before calling someone else a moron.

>>3060454
>>3060487
>'Correcting' someone's spelling and then using your instead of you're.

>>3060424
Hey Jim, I wanted to ask you for a long time. Do you visit any greek forums? I've tried visiting again after many years to search for any decent people but all I've seen are still general shounenfags, yaoi fangirls and antiloli moralfags.

>>3060454
Colourisation.

>>3060526
Most people who dabble into JP media are what you describe. It's quite sad. And they talk about Naruto too much. So, no.

Sometimes I check GreekTracker for releases though.

>>3060304
>pick-a-random-generic-activity
Ok that makes no sense.

>>3060551
Hmm? I just meant something else that seems mundane. They have bread making manga, for Christ's sake.

>>3060551
Like delivering newspapers and such.

>>3060549
Oh well, /jp/ and 2ch are nice but sometimes I'd like to meet more people around here. At least it's reassuring people like you are around.

>>3060597
That really doesn't sound like a cliche plot.

>>3060607
My point was that the plot is essentially the same, but the activity is different. Seriously, read some of that shit.

>>3060586
Ok I see. Mundane and generic are different things though.

Pick subject. Anything will do.

Make protagonist a genius regarding the subject, however it's something he's never done.

Introduce protagonist to the subject, with other people/the future rival going 'whoa' regarding his talent.

Protagonist starts training regarding subject with a challenge versus the rival being the goal.

Protagonist wins challenge, end manga or introduce new rivals from all over the place and repeat.

If you decided to continue on, introduce new super techniques along the way, meaning more filler training chapters. If applicable, make a rival a female and future love interest.

Continue for 400 chapters, most of your readers will have started getting bored by then so start wrapping it up with a new super rival/original rival appearing. Milk it until chapter 500 when you finally end it.

----

Having said that, formulaic shounen can still be good. Ippo is hardly mould breaking whilst still being enjoyable.

>>3060649
I know. I used generic to mean non-specific. As in the activity can be anything.
