It's even comparable to literature?

>anime and manga
Get the fuck out.

>It's even comparable to literature?

In what sense?

Veeky Forums will say 'no' but the answer is 'yes'.
they are all narrative artistic mediums, of course they're comparable.

I love visual storytelling but i can't love literature that much. Probably because my imagination is really pessimistic.

I really don't know how the fuck does people watch anime
I have tried watching some but it's just cringe af and childish no idea man same with manga and graphic novels

They are all art forms and as such can be "compared" in regards to their ability to "open up worlds" for their users but they differ on an essentially ontological level - they are made up of fundamentally different "materials", and as such, to be good works of art in their own category, need to successfully and completely develop the intrinsic qualities of their mediums; this makes them hardly comparable as, for example, the narrative quality of a novel is rooted in language and its properties/possibilities, while the narrative quality of a movie resides in images, single frames (and their usage), the manipulation of a camera's ability to capture image. James Benning or Stan Brakhage's movies, while being amazing as they are, wouldn't be great books - they wouldn't even be possible as books, though you can argue for a book (or any other art form) to share their ethos and aim, being comparable that way - which is what I said at the beginning of the post.

I don't knwo if I made myself clear, go read Heidegger's On the Origin of the Work of Art, it's laid out better in there.

Sounds like your issue isnt anime, its that you've only seen bad anime

the hostility is hilarious

I've only seen evangelion but I liked it
I don't watch movies because it's hard for me to focus that long on a single stimulus
Never read manga or a graphic novel
