So as I've mentioned before I'm working my way out of normie status with Anime and I was curious about something. With Western entertainment I generally don't watch anything made after 2014 without someone I trust (friend/this group/youtuber) recommending it. Is modern day Anime good to watch or has the woke virus attacked it? I remember hearing something about translators having issues.
Also, when it comes to Manga, what do they do differently compared to modern day comic books? In my local comic book store, the back issue section gets the most business to the point where sometimes they put a time limit on people shopping in that section. As expected the new comics don't get as much attention but the Mangas do. Also I notice a good split of men and women. Does Manga understand that certain types of stories appeal to men/women differently and plays to that, or is there just generally a lot of crossover with Manga?
Lastly, until I pay off my remaining debts I won't get anymore streaming services. Are there any free anime streaming services like tubi or crackle? I know a lot of older anime used to be on youtube but I don't see it as much.
Thank you for your time.
I'd highly recommend to buy the manga of something you enjoy and not give streaming services your money. Not only are a lot of them woke but they're also inaccurate. If you've never seen the amazing meltdown by a guy getting angry at the word "sus" on Nagatoro you owe yourself that privilege to see it. I dunno if I can link the kiwi place here but if you search for locksneedfartin nagatoro you should undoubtedly find it.
Anyways, back to topic: use nyaa.si, it's your friend and there for you. Buy the manga to support the author or get some merch or even the dvd's if you don't get price-gouged like in my country.
Don't give streaming services your money who will fuck over anime. The latest season of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for example is just thrown out in batches, no one likes this, took over a year to even announce they'll throw the next batch out and after there's probably gonna be another. Streaming services are the inferior way to experience anime.
