A friend asked me what the difference between anime and manga was and to be honest I thought she was joking. When I saw that she seriously didn’t know I told her and I thought I would explain to any other people who don’t know because I know some of you are from Entrecard and other traffic exchanges that this blog is a part of.

First off, there is a BIG difference between anime and manga. Anime is basically cartoons but some aren’t exactly for the preteen crowd. Anime can be a television show like Sailor Moon or a movie like Princess Mononoke. Anime basically means animation in English and you may think what is the difference between anime and American cartoons, the difference is the styles and the fact that they come from two different cultures.

Manga is basically a comic book and is what most people commonly call Japanese comic books but more and more American mangas are being made such as Cosmogirls CG! section. There are obvious differences between comic books and manga.

I hope that answers all questions about the differences that you may have had :)
