Of course a cartoon full of movie references and meaningless techno babble and philosophy would appeal to Kojima.

Armored Trooper Votoms is still an underrated franchise. It's still way harder to watch any of it than it ought to be.

People get weird about anime coz it's surrounded by pedo stuff and weird poo poo in a way that batman or marvelboy aren't

I don't ask for manga reccomendations anymore coz adtrw was talking about a psychological thriller and it turned out to involve the main character eating his own cum and raping a minor to fix her mental problems

And every time I run out of Baki on a manga site I'm dumped out into walls of horny isekai trash like I'm in some weird comic store steam store hybrid hell dimension

I'll still read that garbage but there's a reason people are still cautious about it all.
There's a lot of good manga or anime where you gotta go "yeah ignore that bit"

It actually is now, scholastic comics for kids and series for young adults that end up in barnes and noble are way more popular than the superheroes now

Demon Slayer crushed all of them though as far as I know.

I recommend that if somebody told you to read 1 comic and it was bad you dont decide to stop reading all 300 thousand of the other comics that come out every year because of that one bad experience, thats wierd.

If you want to find cool comics you have to be willing to just go in blind and sometimes a comic isn't to your liking, but theres so much variety out there and quality stuff even in the niche subgenres people deride as inherent rot like isekai. If you don't want any romance or sexual content at all theres thousands of comics just for you, because manga is a medium and not a genre.

Just remembered that somebody also did the same to Giant Robo and I really recommend it if you've never seen it, its my absolute favorite of the entire Mecha/Wuxia/Mystery/Thriller combination genre and is only 7 sub hour long episodes.

american comics have that one artist who literally traces porn for every frame in his comic nominally for kids

even if the actual target audience for American cape books is other 30-40 somethings at this point

e: Japan appears to be literally better than America at creating new superhero stories for kids at this point with MHA and such, which is kind of like lapping the American industry and managing to perfectly lob a spitball into their face as you pass them.

it's not that hard to make compelling capeshit when you're starting from scratch and aren't carrying excessive baggage from half a century of brand building. There's plenty of American superhero comics that are good but they're mostly indie titles.

even the better known indie titles are riffs on superman and sometimes dbz (which is a rifc on superman as well)

not that there is no good indie super stuff; but what american comics needs is literally anything but 50 year olds whose ambition never reaches the lofty heights of a sports shonen because they're obsessed with a different type of peeps in spandex

Season 2 of TPN is maybe one of the most baffling things I've seen out of an anime studio in the modern era. most shonen is about milking the fanbase for as long as possible, but TPN just decided to condense 3/4 of the plot into one season and end it with a slideshow that makes no sense unless you've read the manga.

A silly little mouse!
The Anime went to poo poo because after the terrible Manga finale ended the franchises profit potential the producers told them they weren't going to fund more seasons so just throw together something on zero-budget to fulfill contractual obligations and milk whatever little money from fans there was left through pre-orders of the disc-set. Plus there's the fact that a huge amount of anime these days exist (and are funded) mainly as vehicles to push interest and sales of the still ongoing source material. And since the Promised Neverland source material had ended (regardless of if it had ended bad or good) the anime lost a lot of its reason for existing.
