Shouldn't it be "manga"? Anime, as far as I imagine, should stand for animation, and either Japanese animations are really slow, or there are no animes in this thread by this definition.

is it just me...or do they look like cartoon 8 year olds...with boobs.

Sure you can say manga but no one would know what it means.Its like when you ask some one if they know whats trance is and they say "NO" but if you say tekno they know what your talking about.

We do Asian people always have nasty breath? Does anyone else notice this?

You could say "Asians" Cook cats and dogs for dinner

TRUE

I think its beacause of their diets. They tend to eat alot of fish.

LMAO

No but Space Marine should.

Uhhhhhh... off the world of negative generalizations...

Hey, I want a cat. I'm not going to eat it though. I'm going to pet her, adore her, and show her my collection of EDM. Pets are recognized as part of the family, and in some parts of the world, cows are sacred. It's a cultural thing.

LOL, haha... so true. The definitions will continue to collide and evolve -- better to get someone hooked than tie them up in technical jargon at the gate. It's like being stripsearched at the foreign airport if you have nothing on ya, and makes you feel sooo uncomfortable going to new places.

But check, speaking of anime... manga... animanga... if you like Pepperidge Goldfish treats, here's something for you:

aspergian you into anime?

Partly, yes . . . I like Digi Charat, Azumanga Daioh, Chobits, some of the more character moments that aren't so sweatdroppy... how 'bout u?

...but my involvement with anime is mainly because my brother is an animanga artist/color commentator... ho ho ho... his website's at:

http://www.xynthica.com

Or as he describes it: Zephos's ice creamy anime and manga art, featuring Xynthica, a fluffy little female biped who works as a summoned monster for endorsing products -- instead of killing things! Contains cute colorful cartoons and caustic cultural commentary!

Way cool man,ill read it a little more closely once i have more time.School tommarow.

if its porno in nature, its 'HENTAI"

Manga is the actual series.

Anime is the style

hentai is the pron

further extrapolation

Contrary to what most people in the West think, manga (both the singular and plural form are the same) have NOTHING to do with pronorgraphy. Some manga are pornographic, but that's just a small percentage of manga.

Manga, in Japanese, means "flowing words" or "Undisciplined words". It is an ancient art that has been used for centuries as a form of entertainment. It's basicallt Japanese comic books, which can be easily translated to English. However, just saying manga are comics from Japan is wrong.

First of all, in the US and in Europe, most comics are addressed to young children between the ages of 9 and 13. That is not the case of manga. There are 6-7 major types of manga, each having its own audience. Kodomo manga is for children. Shonen manga is for boys ages 12-18 , Shoujo manga is for gilrs age 12-18. Josei manga is for adult ladies above the age of 20, mainly working women. Seinen manga is for young men between the ages of 18 and 30, and Hentai manga is pornographic, adult manga.

As you can see, saying "comics from Japan" is wrong. Another difference between manga and Western comics is that each comics volume has its own plot, while manga volumes all follow the same plot. The artwork is VERY different. Manga has its own particular artwork, especially when it comes to human faces, particularly the eyes, chin, nose, mouth, forehead... Manga is also read from RIGHT to LEFT. (Yes, even the English ones).

In Japan, 40% of all book & magazine sales are manga. That's a huge number, considering the Japanese read A LOT. In 1998, about 3 billion manga volumes were printed in Japan, I'm sure that number is higher now.

Many manga have been translated to English and are sold everywhere.

GTO, Excel Saga, Inu Yasha, Fushigi Yugi, Naruto, Pretty Face, Hunter x Hunter, Confidential Confessions, Love Hina, and Berserk are all examples of manga.

Haha... Orbax that's GREAT!!!

That kinda reminds me of my brother informing me about the whole Japanese entertainment industry.

It's interesting to highlight cultural differences and see the appreciation for different artistic stylistics. Now that a lot of this has come Stateside, we'll see more fusions: including the comics read left-to-right that purists may dread, but which is inevitable. My bro, "Zephos", calls it BANGA: Bastard Manga. Ha ha ha. Not such a funny term if you consider the names of some of those Mangas, sometimes poorly translated.

In this way, I am enthused because it makes me recall Detroit techno heading for friendlier climates in the acid house of UK and Europe and then making a ubiquitous return to the USA more recently. There are a variety of ways of doing things all over the world.
