What constitutes an anime/manga for you? For me, only these two things are required
>the art style has to look "anime"
>the writer is Japanese
The nationality of the artist/composer/voice actor etc doesn't matter. So yeah, something like Edgerunners is not anime. I still enjoyed it a lot though.

>>280360821 (OP)
If it's pozzed then it's not anime. That's it

I have no idea what you're saying since it both looks like anime, and is written by Japanese.

>>280360981
Edgerunners was written by Polaks.

>>280360981
too bad the shitty game doesn't look like this

>>280360821 (OP)
thinking anime is an artstyle is a clear sign of a newfag

>World Masterpiece Theater, some of the most important anime of all time, aren't anime
OP being a faggot as usual

>>280360821 (OP)
If I like it - it's anime. If I don't - it's /co/mblr.

>>280361053
Yeah, and they still didn't write the anime.

If it's made in Japanese.

>>280361131
Bartosz Sztybor wrote Edgerunners, everyone knows this.

>>280360821 (OP)

>>280361295
Is this manga? It ran in Aokishi.

>>280360821 (OP)
The studio that animates it.

>>280361331
Yes

>>280361295
What about those manga published on Twitter/Pixiv?

>>280361396
If they are independently published online they are webcomics

can someone explain to a boomer wtf is a webtoon?

>>280361444
The longstrip format meant to be scrolled down on phones.

>>280361383
Is this manga?

>>280360821 (OP)
OP is a fag
Edgerunners IS an anime.
Cope. Seethe.

>>280361480
I don't know what that is, but if its a comic in a Japanese Magazine, yes

>>280360821 (OP)
>>the writer is Japanese
Script writer were japanese though?

>>280361482
1. Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a masterpiece
2. Still not an anime

>>280360821 (OP)
Anime is Japanese animation and manga is Japanese comics. What exactly counts as Japanese can get a little fuzzy at times, but there's no reason to get so ridiculously exclusive about something that's so fundamentally vast and non-specific in the first place.

>>280360821 (OP)
Depends on whether I can jack off to the girls or not.

>>280361525
My requirements for something to be anime is not "ridiculously exclusive" at all, in fact I'd say it's very loose. Some people get triggered if they see a non Japanese animator.

>>280361586
>It was directed by Mitsuru Hongō, designed by Hiroyuki Nishimura and Junya Ishigaki, and written by Oketani Arawa, Reiko Yoshida, and Natsuko Takahashi
Yes.

>the art style has to look "anime"
You make it sound like anime is this singular look, when really there's like a million different anime artstyles out there.
Artstyles as varied as Crayon Shinchan, Princess Mononoke, Inferno Cop, Vampire Hunter D, Hidamari Sketch, Ping Pong, Tatami Galaxy and Honey and Clover are all anime artstyles.

>>280361653
Why the long face?

>>280361653
I never said that, yes anime art style is very diverse but you just know when something looks "anime". PSG for example despite trying hard to look like an American cartoon, still looks "anime". I can't really describe it.

>>280361329
But it still doesn't explain, did he wrote the outline or what exactly? This is no in-depth enough. It's just 10 seconds.

>>280361676
>I can't really describe it.

>>280360821 (OP)
Easy
>manga
Original run published/serialized in a Japanese magazine
>Anime
Produced by a Japanese company to be broadcast/stream/sold in Japanese cinema/TV/on-demand service (home-video releases included)
You criteria are meaningless and out you as someone who has very little knowledge of anime, its history and the industry as a whole
>the art style has to look "anime"
is meaningless 'cause Japanese animation is wildly diverse in style and design and has been since the beginning (picrel); by this definition masterpieces of early anime like Kumo to Tulip, or the many Toei movies, and many more examples
>the writer is Japanese
The "writer" of what? The original subject? Then Mirai Shounen Conan cannot be anime 'cause it's an adaptation of an American novel, or the many World Masterpiece Theater series...
Hell, by this definition nothing that is based on Journey to the West is anime, 'cause is a Chinese story.
There's no difference between Edgerunners and, say, Heidi Girl of the Alps or Nadia: the Japanese take a foreign source and write their own version of what they read in it.
It would be like saying that Hamlet by Shakespeare is not an English play 'cause Hamlet is a Scandinavian folktale.

>>280361832
*by this definition [...] aren't anime

>>280360821 (OP)
has to be produced by a japanese studio. which I find a bit disappointing because there is a lot of chinese and korean media I want to discuss but no good place to talk about it on here

>>280361053
He probably did the same amount of work GRRM did when he "wrote" Elden Ring. Which is throw a napkin with some idea scribbles on it for some nip to figure out.

>>280360821 (OP)
Edgerunners style looks unnatural, but maybe its my problem I don't like cyberpunk climates
I would prefere anime/manga based on The Witcher, far better polish book and game developed by the same company as Cyberpunk, but in their prime time.

It's a Japanese comic magazine with exclusively European comics.
