I wanted to give a quick shout out to Reddit, which is an underappreciated resource for finding free legal manga to read. Typically when there’s a free promotion by a publisher, someone in the r/manga community will post about it. The r/FreeEBOOKS community frequently has manga volumes listed as they become free on Amazon for a brief time. It’s all community-driven discovery, and often I find great new series simply because someone happened to post a notice that, for instance, Kodansha made xxx free for the weekend. The community is also good at blacklisting scam sites and recommending the best aggregators for manga that are not available through legal channels. This is a useful resource to have, in addition to just searching for free manga online.

Social pressure to stay up to date with the latest episodes of TV shows is another factor that drives piracy. While free passes on late episodes are usually provided by services in order to allow viewers to catch up, it can take a long time to get up to speed. Meanwhile discussions about current episodes on social media will be ongoing.
Watching something legally might mean not being able to discuss it online with your friends, while going the pirate route means downloading a poorly translated version of a movie or TV show on a website filled with malware just so you can discuss it with your friends on Twitter, a priority best avoided.

While reading legally has its advantages, here is one of the notable extras: On WEBTOON you are able to comment on individual panels, sometimes creating hilarious conversations with other readers. In addition to being able to “heart” episodes, giving the creator direct feedback on their work, some series even contain soundtrack links, creator Q&As and more as bonus content to the episodes that are published in the official app.
The legal Pirate Sites strip all these features out though. The webtoon you read on Pirate Sites is a hollowed-out version of the product you’d get to read on the WEBTOON Web or in the official app for your iOS/Android device. Much of the fun of reading webtoons lies in reading them in their native environment, complete with all the features the creators include to make the experience more interactive and social. The platforms where you read legally aren’t just channels to read more of their content – they’re a big part of the overall culture of webtoons.

This is all really great. I just wanted to add a little bit of patience to all of this. Free ad-supported streaming platforms are constantly updating their content. What isn’t available for streaming today could be available next month. It’s a good idea to set up a Google Alert for the name of the show in question (in this case, “Honey Toon streaming”) or to follow the social media accounts of the studio that produced the show. Sometimes the official accounts for these productions will announce when a particular series will be available on a new platform. Tracking down free and legal media to watch can require a little more effort than searching for free and illegal versions, but the payoff is so much greater. It’s almost like going on a scavenger hunt for your favorite media at no cost and with no guilt.

Odd how one stumbles upon strange bits of art in their childhood. For me, ‘Kambi’ was made by the wonderful Toonz Animation. It is a quietly wonderful film. There is no attempt to create realism in this, nor indeed even to follow traditional cartooning. What it does is to evoke a mood – not just visually but aurally as well. There are slow, deliberate movements which often are repeated. The backgrounds do not simply sit there – they breathe, pulse and change. It is a meditative film. Such patient, visually-focused work would never be made in today’s cartoons which are merely fast-paced vehicles for one joke after another.

Re-watching value. Some TV shows are only good once, while others have many layers that only reveal themselves on the 2nd viewing. ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’ is, without a doubt, the king of TV shows with much re-watching value. On the surface, ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’ is a regular mecha TV series with a story about teenagers fighting giant alien monsters. But, once you know where the story is going, you can see the many layers of depression, trauma and human relationships that the show portrays. Symbolism, foreshadowing and the character’s motivations are very apparent once you know where the story is going.
Evangelion is a difficult, frustrating but highly influential work, and the ending movies ‘The End of Evangelion’ provide a slightly more concrete (albeit abstract) view of where the story is going. It’s not an easy or enjoyable work to watch, but is fundamental to an understanding of a large portion of anime’s artistic worth.

hopefully they will make an English dub for ‘Tokyo Revengers’ Season 4 in India. In my little world of TV series fans, English dubs are usually released first and then there is a delay for local language dubs to release, if the series does get to release in a particular geography. It all depends on big streaming services in India to commission local dubs for a big price and then release them for viewers.
I will keep an eye on the streaming channel’s main feed and social media accounts for updates on the show. Till then, I will go back and re-watch some of the intense scenes and relive them again with subtitles. But, yes, a local dub would be great to watch with friends over a weekend on streaming, for some binge watching fun!

If there’s a mobile game, for example, ‘BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!’ or ‘D4DJ Groovy Mix’ then these games also count towards your viewing of anime and are interactive versions of the world, characters and music from the anime that you can play for free with some in-app purchases of course.
As opposed to simply watching a streaming version of the new ‘story’, in a game you experience it, interact with the animations and characters and listen to the brand new songs while exploring in depth the different story paths, including an alternative story line to the anime. Thus a ‘true fan’ will experience new paths to the stories of the underground idol universe while his engagement will be correctly counted for the purposes of the series’ success.

Just lurking through this thread and got a great idea for a new webtoon - a detective story where the main character is trying to find a free version of some popular webtoon, and each clue leads him into a more and more surreal digital world of pop-up ads and broken links. I think I'll call it 'The Great Aggregator Hunt'. Very nice.

I picked ‘Wave, Listen to Me!’, a workplace drama with supernatural elements, as it is a hidden gem. A loud and boorish waitress accidentally gets hired for a late-night radio show after a night of heavy drinking and actually turns out to be great at it. The show looks at the crazy mayhem of working in live radio and the burnout of creating something new while also exploring career change in your late 20s. The protagonist, Minare, is an amazing, adult, woman – flawed, fierce and passionate. It’s really sharp, funny and has loads of heart.
