i understand the history, like the first Japanese cartoons followed Disney and things liek tom and jerry closely, but eventually developed into its own unique style. now a lot of people use this Japanese style in their own non Japanese comics, so is it manga? does manga still mean exclusively Japanese comics, or does it mean the style? does it really matter? all comics are comics, whatever the style or origin, it doesnt really affect how good it is.
or does it just depend who u ask lol
i noticed soem people tend to get real upset when non Japanese comics are refered to as manga, and a little condescending, despite the fact that labels and "pedigrees" dunt reallay make a differance when it comes down to the actual quality of the comic!
"manga" refers to printed Japanese cartoons. "Anime" (taken from the English word "animation") refers animated Japanese cartoons. These terms are unique to Japan.
Comic books like "X-Men" and "The Fantastic Four" are not "manga". Television shows like "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" are not "anime".
If someone (non-Japanese) were to produce animation that looked 100% like Japanese anime, the Japanese people themselves would be hard pressed to refer to it as "anime" simply because it didn't come out of Japan.
