Manga is what's published in book form. Anime is, well, animated.

Manga is more comics or graphic novels. Anime is actually just the japanese word for animation.


Some people actually say "anime" is a genre, but really it's just Japanese animation. Genres are more like fantasy, romance, sci-fi, etc. There are different genres within anime as well. Like Gundam Seed is more sci-fi/mecha, whereas Rurouni Kenshin is more historical/action. It's just that there is a distinct difference in style when you consider japanese animation and um... American animation? lol. What I'm saying is that the style in art, storytelling, and characterization is quite different. You have to consider the cultural differences between Japan and the U.S. and how they shape animation.

Once seasonal0.gif finds sum'n he likes, he'll know what xmas.gif is talkin' 'bout. cool.gif
