How do fan engagement and community interactions typically differ between followers of comic characters and those of anime characters?

Fan engagement for comic characters often revolves around collecting physical issues, attending comic conventions, speculating on story arcs, and debating continuity or character interpretations in forums. Cosplay and merchandise are also significant. Anime character fandom often involves watching streaming series (subbed vs. dubbed debates), attending anime conventions, engaging in online fan art and fan fiction, discussing manga vs. anime adaptations, and participating in watch parties. Both foster passionate communities but with slightly different focuses driven by their respective media.
