Which anime/manga genres are least discussed here?

Delinquent manga are a genre (or theme, I'm not sure what the definition would be in this case) that was quite prominent in the 80s and 90s with things like Crows, Bebop High School, Kyou kara Ore wa!!, Shounan Bakusouzoku, Angel Densetsu, GTO and its prequels, etc. The banchou/delinquent character is very popular and I believe everyone has seen them in various anime and manga, but works with this theme don't seem to have as much appeal or popularity here (if you don't count Tokyo Revengers).

Aachi and Ssipak

To give a really bad summary: Conventional energy sources ran out, and they started using feces as the main source, where people who defecate a lot are rewarded with Juicy Bars, a kind of addictive popsicle that, if consumed in large quantities, transforms the person into dumb, addicted blue creatures.

Between Suehiro Maruo, Shintaro Kago, and Hideshi Hino, who produces the most fucked-up manga?

I’m going with Shintaro Kago. Kijin Gahou was one of the most fucked-up collections (especially the second story) I’ve ever read in the medium.

There's a lot of talk about Togashi getting someone else to draw in his place, but has there ever been a case like that with a mangaka who's still alive?

I know things like this have happened before, when someone died, and one of the only examples I know of was in the Pokémon manga, where the artist was sick or injured and was replaced, but soon returned. How do you think the impact would be if this decision were made?

Recommendations for horror anime/manga from the 70s/80s

It’s a genre I’d like to delve deeper into. I’ve already read some works by Hideshi Hino and Kazuo Umezu, but I want to go a bit further.

How common is it for fans of Japanese movies to watch a significant number of live-action manga adaptations without realizing they are adaptations?

I say this because I've noticed that a large number of manga have live-action adaptations, many of which aren't very well-known or don't have much value outside of Japan. Obviously, in the case of Attack on Titan, AoT, Jojo, Gintama Cutie Honey, Sailor Moon, Devilman, etc., it's noticeable because of their fame and overall style; you can see that they are adaptations. But there are also many more grounded live-action adaptations like Old Boy, MW, Sanctuary, Dragon Head, Himizu, which many people don't even know are live-action adaptations.

O que acham do Go Nagai?

Eu tenho uma relação meio complexa. Dentre os autores clássicos, como Shotaro Ishinomori ou Osamu Tezuka, as obras do Go Nagai foram as que eu mais li e menos gostei. Óbvio que é inegável o quanto ele foi importante não só para múltiplas demográfias como também para vários gêneros, mas tirando Devilman, Violence Jack(ao qual só li metade) e Getter Robo(apesar de muito da graça do manga ser por causa do Ken Ishikawa), eu realmente achei a maioria mediana para baixo. Isso que eu nem peguei os ecchizão fodidos. Só que curiosamente, eu tenho muito interesse nos spin offs, animes e alguns live actions das obras deles. Cutie Honey mesmo parece ter um anime e live action muito divertidos e os animes de Mazinger Z também parece bem interessantes. Mas mostrando que o ser humano as vezes gosta de sofrer e não se ajuda, eu vez ou outra sempre acabo lendo algum manga dele(geralmente os que foram traduzidos recentemente). Agora mesmo estou lendo Jushin Liger e parece que ele fez uma speed run, pq o negócio rushado

What made you like Kamen Rider?

Besides the fact that my inner child never completely died and my eyes light up when I see guys in armor and plastic weapons fighting with CGI effects that, even though cheap, end up being incredibly cool, something I really enjoy is how a children's series manages to address so many interesting and adult themes, directly and indirectly. We've seen things like the consequences and effects of war, dehumanization, maturation, the weight of actions, suicide, and even metaphors for drug trafficking. All this in a way that doesn't seem overly edgy, but without losing its impact. It's not as much compared to other media, but every now and then I see some people saying, "You still think this is for kids? It has deaths and heavy themes!", when I, personally, think it's really cool that a children's series addresses certain themes better than many "serious and mature" series.

Has the manga ever mentioned whether the Mamodo World is a different planet or some kind of alternate dimension?

I hope it's not just my bad memory, but I don't remember exactly when this was mentioned, but it's something I've been thinking about lately.
