oh my god... Manga IS a comic. 'Manga' is simply the japanese word for 'comic'. How do I know? Because they call Superman comics 'manga' there. Do you call Superman comics 'Manga'? Sushi is raw fish made a certain way that us westerners don't make it, thus its name stuck. Infact, know-it-all Yosokuda, the japanese word for 'raw fish' isn't sushi. Acording to my japanese translator, 'sushi' translates to "sushi; anything made with vinegared rice". When I searched 'Raw fish' I got Sashimi.

Say what the hell you want, but anime is a freaking cartoon. And those of you who go, "Anime is Anime" are just idiots who are far too ashamed to admit that they're watching cartoons.

Hm. While i'm at it, lets get the translation for 'Manga' "(n) comic; cartoon;" ok, now anime, "(n) (abbr) animation" wow. Looking at it that way, its not that different from Looney Toons, or the Disney Channel, now is it?

They don't even always call it manga.
I've seen 漫画 written as コミック before.

YennonCrow is right in what he's saying.

And anime is just short for animation. Japanese people like to shorten loanwords.

You're an idiot, seriously...you're going by exact translation. everyone, listen...anime is not the same as cartoons and manga isn't the same as comics. comics are for little kids and people who are still going to be living in their parent's house/basement when they're over 30, and Manga has many different series for many ages, not to mention manga is still in japanese form.

Calling a person names goes against the rules of Japan Forum.

"your going by exact translation" probably because thats exactly what it means.

By the way, as far as I know, most of you live with your parents, and read manga, and watch anime. Thats what DC comics, and Marvel comics fans did, and still do. You arent any better. Pull your head out and open your eyes. And stop believeing your above other people.

Well duuuhh I know what sushi is, if you read my post I was questioning the intelligence of another member by asking if he thinks and calls sushi what the stereotypical view on the stuff is. Read again.

Anime is not the same as cartoon, Manga is not the same as Comic.
Cartoons and comic are for kids, Anime and Manga is for all ages, adults included.

and I in turn questioned your intelligence.

Comics and cartoons are for the enjoyment of everyone just like manga and anime is for the enjoyment of everyone. You're still no better. And you're not going to be any better. Sorry.
