What is anime and manga? "Anime" refers specifically to Japanese animation, which in itself is a unique style of storytelling and film making. Unlike in the west, which is due to the public perception that animation is for children, anime in Japan is made for all types of audiences including children, adolescents, and adults. “Manga” are basically Japanese Comics. It is a respected form of literature/ art and can be made for any age group. Manga is distributed in Japan by being printed in a thick phonebook size book called a manga magazine. They are very cheap and their circulation is widespread. |
