News and thoughts on manga, anime, games, and everything else that's Japanese popular culture at 夜風記.
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."
