As exaggerated as the title may sound, I honestly believe that manga/anime will fuck up the world in every possible way. Now I assume there was a period when anime/manga was good; a period when it was, most likely, all mecha-related; but something terrible happened: It spread like a goddamned virus.
The problem with Manga/Anime(now just referred to as manga to save time) becoming popular is it began to prosper, and like a shark with it’s first taste of blood, manga began to such up as much blood as possible by any means necessary. To appeal to a larger market the average idea of an anime became more and more stupid: Teenage Ninjas(NOT mutant turtle ones) wearing flamboyant clothing or being emo? can you say MILLIONS!?! Two vampire twins hell-bent on destroying each other while their victims are turned into loyal servants and one of them is an opera singer ? they are clearly on to something there.
Even when mangas have good stories they usually end up fucking it up. Death Note, for instance, was new and original, it was entertaining and clever, and fucked it all up by the end. A mastermind killer’s masterpiece plan was subpar for a fifth grader and he was reduced to begging a death god to help him like a crack addict reduced to sucking his dealer’s cock. Not only that but they managed to fuck up the mech genre aswell, specifically in Eureka 7. The story is about a boy and girl in love, girl is actually an alien type thing and has adopted the most annoying children in the planet. Oh and there are robots that sky surf. Yes you heard that correct, WIND SURFING ROBOTS. The dialogue is just plain terrible and the coming of age stories featured in just about every episode was terrible.
While some instances of manga are good like shin-chan(on occasion), Akira, and FLCL, The entire medium is in general just awful.
Though The comic industry is doing fine, its no secret that manga is far more prevalent read for (pre)teens. They(by which I mean goddamned weeaboos!) have also started to invade on Comic territory which is just angering for your average /co/mrade. In Comic-Con there are booths for such weeaboo distributors a Tokyo-Pop which may seem logical but I assure you it isnt. Comic-Con is a convention for comics, things like Anime Expo is for things like anime/manga. Having the tokyo pop booth at comic-con would be like a mac booth at a pc convention. I saw more goddamn Naruto Fags at Comic-con then I did any comic star which is angering because A: Naruto is one of the shittiest mangas around and B: like I said its not their goddamn CON.

Oh cut it some slack. So what, manga and anime is being created and becoming more friendly, get over it. So what if children and preteens are enjoying it? You sound like you’re obvious enough to simply choose *not* to watch the bad anime and manga, that’s what I do. There is always going to be crap out there, no matter what. They’re simply importing things that appeal to a younger audience, because, in America, the anime and manga audience generally is a younger audience. In general, America just sucks at this point, look at our reality tv shows, honestly.
