You should feel bad if you're an anime only watcher and or don't support the industry. Why kill the people who make what you love?

It sucks anime is used to promote the manga but many people are anime only watchers and many don't support the industry in anyway. And the same people who complain the anime sucks never check the manga and see if its better, they'll simply drop the series

You should feel bad your making all those people work horrible wages

Why don't you support the industry or mangaka?

But what if you buy the DVD or Blu Ray to the anime that you watched? Aren't you supporting the industry?

So I should feel bad because I watch anime that is offered FOR FREE on Japanese television?

According to your 'logic', one should feel bad for watching commercials and not buying every product that's shown on TV.

Weird.

So wait... Sales of anime don't benefit the mangaka at all? If the mangaka makes the brand and the trademark, doesn't he get paid for the deritive works IE anime?

So if I make movie adaptation of a book, I can do it legally with no copyright protections and pay no royalties?

Even if i had money to support both anime and manga which i dont, in the end that money would not end in the hands of people who made actual stuff i am 99% sure of it, unless you import directly or someting(importing to serbia online would cost enormous fucking price) you dont support owners but someones else pockets.

The very making of an anime benefits the author because they're made for the sake of promoting the source material.

Wrong. The ones who get money from anime are those that have put money into the project. Studios are usually contracted to only do the animation work with bigger studios participating in the production committee and some very rare occasions where they even lead it.
Also the mangaka profit a lot from it because in the first place the majority of anime adaptations are for the sake of promoting the source material and there are some series whose sales jumped by 10 times like last season's Gakkou Gurashi which has 1.2 million copies in print after just the first episode.

Being an Anime only watcher doesn't make you any more culpable than leeching off both Anime and Manga.

The whole concept of anime being made to increase the sales of manga is strange to me, because I prefer anime format. The way I see it, manga is the script and anime is the realization. That being said, I would buy anime if there was a reasonable way for it (something like GOG distribution model). I don't buy manga because I don't read it.

Fear not OP, if anything "saves" the industry it will be the industry learning to adapt to the internet and price things properly, not the last remaining suckers who pay hundreds of dollars for a single season of a show.
