OK so I'll admit to knowing absolutely NOTHING (and I do mean nothing!) about Anime and Manga.

So we'll start with a simple question ...

What's the difference between the two? :blink:

Simply put

Anime = Animated (e.g. cartoon) version

Manga = Non-animated (e.g. comic) version

Yep, Manga is tradionaly read the japaneese way IE from right to left for example you would read the panels something like this

3 2 1
   5 4
8 7 6

although Tokyopop do publish some books in the manga style which u can read the tradional english way.

and anime is a name for the cartoons done in the same style,

I prefer reading Manga the japanese way (but in English,since I can't read Japanese at all :blink: )
I'd put the url for my website here,but it's probably not allowed :(, so I won't.

if you buy a book that is printed in japaneese there are a lot of websights that allow you to get the translation!

Although I will add one thing to that analergy. MANGA is also the name of a producer of anime - DVDs, videos, etc.
