Do you think modern readers have a proper appreciation for the classics and history of manga?

Even with modern remakes, the vast majority of modern audiences aren't going to care about works from the 60s and 70s. It doesn't matter how influential they were.

Modern readers only care for parasocial relationships with 2D characters. They couldn't care less about the history of the medium

No, obviously. There's plenty of translations these days, but still a lot of major stuff missing, and appreciation is pathetically low. There's a bunch of incredibly good and interesting manga starting from around mid to late 60s. But modern readers are in this medium for the crap they are already used to, and it's not going to get better in that sense. Best you get is a handful checkmark/cred-seeking retards with zero appreciation. At least online.

Modern readers can't even fucking spell correctly, meaning they probably can't read correctly either, OP. So no, they don't have a proper appreciation of fucking anything.

Yeah, far more than fag boomers did. Devilman and Ashita no Joe only recently got official translations due to the demand from the current generation.

Dororo was pretty dull. The thing manga of that era did where they did a lot of looney tunes fourth wall breaking comedy undercuts the otherwise self-serious plots

That was mostly Tezuka.

A "proper appreciation" isn't being an old good new bad fag and having no independent thought of your own like a lot of people on /a/.

When did I say new bad. I think dismissing older stuff is just as annoying

If the new manga and anime don't have the ideas from old manga I like then they're bad.

Devilman was so kino and I was distraught to find out it was a total fluke.
Every sequel he wrote was dogshit :'(

Its insane how good the astro boy manga is until the last few volumes where it goes full schizoid, its just incredible storywise and it obliterates 99% of manga out there in terms of quality

A few of the arcs are good but I don't know how you could consider it better than 99% of manga. It doesn't even compare to a lot of Tezuka's later stuff.

Everything? I get the French have their fair share of weeaboos, but I want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

its not just manga its comics in general too because they have the french stuff obviously but almost all the other stuff translated as well, which makes twice the amount of comics youd find anywhere else

Of course. No one on here buys physical manga outside of the people who can read moonrunes and in that case they're just getting it from Amazon up

t. Own ~250 volumes of manga

Depends on what you mean by "modern". 17th century onward?

009 seems like it was mostly translated but it might be hard to find the way it's scattered around.

Grimoire is pretty good.
Devilman Lady is... not good, but kino.
