>Why is visual entertainment more popular than reading
Bit of a redundant question

You can't expect more than that from a meshifag

That's not redundant at all.

New Dakini translations when?

It should go without saying. People would much rather watch something instead of read. Especially nowadays with peoples increasingly shortening attention spans.

Chapters 1 through 9 are translated and are on Amazon Kindle, just not 10 yet (sorta).

That's not true though. It's more true for abroad markets but not in Japan. Often the anime serves more as an ad for the printed work.

I haven’t even finished reading up to the latest chapter yet, man.

Reading is hard.
Personally I have no patience for anime.

Not just japan but asia in general.

autists need moving pictures to stay focused

anime is a lot easier to get into, just like most adaptations (manga as well as books) they skip over details and scenes so that they can entice the watcher in a condensed form. I would say that most people like manga over anime it's just the time spent invested in an anime is far less.

But it is not.
Take one piece for example, the manga is bigger.
And if we only speak about japan, people go about reading manga through the day, and only kids/teens watch anime. Slight exaggeration, but still.

Same. Reading > Watching.

No matter how good the source material is, people would rather read words at the bottom of the screen instead of what equates to a comic.

Even under their own merits anime adaptations in the current era just suck as television shows.

Cringe

Unironically because anime, especially adaptations, are for utter plebeians. Only few are exempt from this category, usually older OVAs and movies of a certain caliber.

Just a quick search on youtube will show you as much.
Filled to the brim with underage plebs and niggers making reaction videos, ebin """analysis""", top 10 bait cancer et cetera.

Of course there's plenty of absolute trash manga, like the flood of cheap and formulaic isekai we've been getting for a while.

because people prefer watching than reading

and that's a good thing

>Visual novels are the least popular
>despite having wallpaper-grade full color art that manga usually uses only as the first page
>despite having the music and voice acting that the other mediums than anime don't
>despite typically having a fully finished story with branching multi-choice plot that light novels by technically can't do
The easier and more superficial something is the easier it is to get into it.

You don't know what redundant means.

>>despite having wallpaper-grade full color art that manga usually uses only as the first page
I hope you don't actually believe this, most VN art is absolutely atrocious in everything but the fact that it's colored.
Even 99% of backgrounds are lifeless.

Why are phoneposters the worst?
