How much anime/manga you consumed vs everything else?

[modrawmanga]

Question for otakus hangin out in tapas forum:

1. How much Japanese anime/manga that you consume as your entertainment vs everything else?
2. What are the 'everything else' that also entertain you? (Cartoon? Kdrama? Hollywood stuff? HK movies?)

I'll go first:
For fiction reading, I consume 95% manga and the rest of my attention span is split between webtoon, american comics and few webcomics.

For watching on the telly, it's split around 60/40 between anime and hollywood/uk tv series, mostly scifi. Used to be 80/20 until I ran out of anime to watch (refer me some good one if you can, I like shonen or seinen scifi/action)

how about you?

I started watching more anime then reading manga. However the older I got the more picky I got with watching anime and now I read more manga then anything.

[HollowEve]

I read a lot of manga, but my anime watching is split pretty evenly with youtube videos.
However, once school starts, I'll be reading more american novels, since the genres of manga I like are... not really a good choice for school... yeah.

I'd say my entertainment breakdown is:

%20 watching my cat do stupid stuff
%10 watching my kid try to do the same stuff the cat tried
%10 watching mickey mouse playhouse with said kid
%30 reading webcomics
%10 movies/date night with hubs
%10 reading western comics
%1 reading manga
%5 watching anime
%4 watching general TV (Game of Thrones, Voltron, Supergirl)

Even tho manga is one of my preferred styles, I stopped from cosuming 95% of it to 1%, I got saturated and now I feel all are the same, I mostly go from videogames to watching any crap on youtube now.

I love to watching gameplays, tutorials or derping in Blender, that's my main entertainment now.
50 games.
30 derping with new tools.
19 Youtube.
1 TV/manga.

I guess it's not just me who think alot of the new anime is kinda... meh.....

[Puppisama]

Yeah, I feel I'm watching the same thing with different hair colors.

[modrawmanga]

LOL

I would never call myself an Otaku but the majority of series I watch are manga, I just happen to like the genres and art styles most.
It's pretty much 95% anime and manga and then 5% American shows because Archer, Samurai Jack and Rick &Morty are incredible. That said though I'm lucky if I find the time to watch anything at all. My day is work/ study and then comic work. :0

[Luminosophy]

Agreed wholeheartedly. There seems to be a lot less effort going into production these days. I had a look at Shounen Jump's Black Clover and the plot is painfully just the unwanted lovechild of Naruto and Fairy Tail. I've become extremely cynical towards most new series being worth watching.

I used to read a ton of manga and 50% of the books I owned were manga (vs 35% american novels, 10% nonfiction books, and 5% notebooks with original writings). Now I've slowed down on reading manga because I can't find anything new that I like.

The same thing happened with anime. I watched a ton of anime growing up, but now I can't find anything I'm interested in (and what I am interested in a tear through so fast I'm almost immediately looking for something else). The thing with anime might be because I don't want to watch it pirated, and I can't afford a Crunchyroll subscription, so I'm limited to what Netflix has.

[sarrowsmith10]

Anybody watching the new Voltron series on Netflix? It's incredible!

[modrawmanga]

A friend recommended that, I find Castlevania more interesting although it's only 4 episodes.
I'm surprised not many ppl here watch tv anymore? It seems more youtube

[modrawmanga]

The dialog in Rick and Morty is incredible and the scifi is mindblowing

[sarrowsmith10]

I watched Castlevania too. It was so good! 4 episodes was NOT enough. Hopefully they will release moooooorrreee

[modrawmanga]

I know right??? I love the Alucard character design!!! I recognized Richard Armitage voicing the other guy immediately!

[indagold]

I'd say I scratched the surface on the beast that is anime. I might watch maybe 2 or 3 anime series in one year at most. I used to play games a lot, watch movies and tv series but don't have the time anymore. Now I just watch what I can on youtube so most of time is devoted to videos on the internet.

[dawgofdawgness]

I haven't found any good anime/manga to watch recently but I've always been a big fan of Fullmetal Alchemis (especially the manga it's gorgeous)

[lunaartemisasama]

1)Nowadays almost nothing maybe a 8%. I was interested in manga but now I prefer webtoons. But I had a time when I would spend at least half of my day reading manga lol. I probably read at least 50 series or more (most of them are still ongoing but I just lost interest). The last anime I watch was " Your Lie in April" I loved it .
2) Free time: 50% reading webtoons, 20% trying to advance my comics or novel or doodling, 20% youtube or movies, 10% reading the newspaper.

[Heliox14]

For this...usually 60% webnovels/webcomics and 40% split between manga (One Punch, Kakegurui, etc), anime (Clannad, YLIA, etc) and writing my story on Tapas.
Sad thing is, I don't have that much time to watch all those anime stuck in my drive...maybe next month I'll be able to watch them
