Answer 8 out of 8
 
A:

To be honest,"anime" (not "anima") and "manga" are the Japanese words for cartoon and comic, respectively (ranging from Dragonball to Donald Duck), but outside Japan, the words have gotten a slightly different meaning.

Manga is Japanese comics which carry a special style of art (though not all manga looks the same) that also goes by the name "manga;" however, it does not have to be drawn by either a Japanese or in Japan.

Anime is the animated form of manga, cartoons made with the manga art style. Funny trivia: anime is the first part of the Japanese transliteration of the English word "animation."
