Depends on the anime you are talking about. In most cases, it is a manga tradition so readers can understand what attack they are using. It is also something similar to when chess player call out their moves. You mostly see this in ki/energy based combat and card games. In a manga like...Claymore, I don't think they call out their attacks.In an anime context, certain moves are used as indicators so the shout out is for dramatic effect. Also...try to find a 20 year old person that has never heard of a Kamehameha wave. Hell, they may even act it out XD

still I think the shouting is unnecessary since there already are thought bubbles and internal monologues which tells the reader what is to come next. Like for example, Star Wars characters never shout the name of their force attacks despite how powerful they are, and Superman never says Heat Vision, he just uses it. Realistically, I don't think anyone would ever shout their attacks if they had special powers unless they were trying to be goofy or sound melodramatic. it just doesn't make sense in a dangerous situation, especially if you're fighting enemies that can move at insane speeds.

Again, I point out that post-modern French Impressionism can fulfill the same roll - tell a story of people through art.I thought this was a discussion of art though, I am now providing my believes that French Impressionism, specifically post modern is the most superior of them all.

in the end it all just comes down to taste, some people like Manga more, other people like comic books more, same goes for other forms of art. Art is art, it's all about preference.

And why is that relevant? They can both have people as subject matter. They can even be sequenced together to tell a story.

I just fail to see how it is relevant to the whole art debate between comic books and manga.

I'm guessing it's something like an incantation. You need to say the words.

the problem with that is that it is never specified if the attack requires the user to say the name of the technique. Like I don't think Goku ever really needed to say the kamehameha wave's name to use it since energy is not magic in DBZ and plenty of characters have used powerful energy blasts without saying a word. I feel like it is just used for being extra dramatic.

I prefer post-modern French Impressionism as an art style. I believe it is vastly superior to comic book style. Much more diversity than scrub comic books.

you are aware that nether manga or comic books follow that style of art right?

Naruto: Of Compassion and Tyranny

can someone please explain why so many anime characters shout out their attacks? it makes no sense, by doing that they give away what their plan of attack is and gives their opponent an idea of what's to come. strategically it is very not smart.

back on the subject of Naruto, Sasuke fans just accept the truth lol'

Teen Titans: Reborn

Hadrian was annoyed at being left hanging, but he followed everyone into the main and asked, "what's the situation?"

He hadn't heard the others talk about a robbery

For the love of god, who cares? Comic books have cons of their own. Badly drawn comic books have characters that are just as disproportionate as bad manga. So drop this inferiority complex on behalf of comics and stop trying to pick fights with manga.It is getting more and more irritating to see this pointless discussion drone on. American comics create symbols independent of whatever comic they are featured in. Superman especially. The reason he is basically unbeatable is because that was how he was created to be. His entire personality was BASED around the fact that he was a symbol. He wasn't and still isn't a CHARACTER. He is an idea, the All-American superhero that fights for justice for everyone. For the longest time, he had no other motivation or goal except to protect the planet as a World Superpower (which many believed that was America's role in worldly affairs when he first came around). You can't really compare any American superhero with any manga character. They are created very differently. For the most part, most super strong manga characters are not MEANT to be unbeatable. Goku (the character people always pit against Superman) will always lose. That is what his adult character is meant to do though. He embodies strength through sacrifice. Goku is "cool" but think of his most iconic moments during the DBZ franchise. Most remember the Saiyan Saga and the Cell Saga. In both, Goku dies via sacrificing himself for the good of everyone else. And ultimately fails in both cases. In all of my years of reading both manga and comic books, I couldn't tell you much about Superman. But I can spend hours talking about Deadpool, Spider-Man, and a slew of manga characters. Yes, Superman is nigh unbeatable, but there was a reason he needed to be repackaged from a character standpoint. Like all American Comic Book heroes, they were blank slates when they first came out. Boring as hell. In recent times, they've been getting emotions and motivations independent of their creators. I cannot think of a single manga character that needed a character repackage to make them actually have a personality. There.

dude I am just having fun and getting a laugh lol this whole argument was hilarious and very amusing to me.

even if I was being serious, Itachi explains it pefectly

There's only one basic style of drawing, and perhaps a couple of other styles deprived from it in American comic book art. There are some rare unique styles that can also be realistic but their plots are usually different than the normal DC/Marvel comics.Japanese art is a part of their culture. You can't compare the drawings in Death Note to, I dunno, every DC comic ever. Every person who makes comics can draw with that style.

Comic Books do it better because it is a team effort and the color and detail is done better in my opinion. Most mangas when I look at them really start to use the same art style over and over again to the point where the is no diversity. if you look at a comic book from the 90s and compare it to the comics of today, there is a big difference coloring and style, and that's just talking about the mainstream series, once you go off stream then you see almost every type of art style you can think of. comic books are way more diverse than manga. there was a DC graphic novel called Kingdom Come which was drawn like watercolor style painting, it was really interesting to look at.
