- What is Manga?
Manga (MAHN-gah or MANG-ah) n. - From the Japanese, literally meaning "whimsical pictures". Manga has its roots in early drawings done in the 1100's, and it has since then evolved into an art form that has encompassed a significant portion of the Japanese culture. The equivalent of "comic books" in Western culture, manga is intertwined with anime due to the fact that many popular manga series are transferred onto video or the TV screens as animated shows. Japanese comics are usually released in black and white, small volumes containing several stories. Artists who draw manga are often called "manga-ka" (literally, "comic artist").
Anime (AH-nee-may or AN-nee-may) n. -Short for "animation". Refers to "Japanese Animation", a genre/medium that has its roots in the 1960's when the Japanese began making television versions of their version of comics (manga). Unlike the "cartoon", America and other culture's counterpart to anime, much of the Japanese animation shown is one of deeper, sometimes more mature themes, including developed storylines, linear plots, and aspects of violence, sex, drama, and comedy (not unlike live-action films in the States). There are different kinds of anime and each kind embraces a different age group or group of people. In Japan, the medium is as much respected as the "live-action" genre of movies.

Al zijn je zonden rood als scharlaken,
ze worden wit als sneeuw,
al zijn ze rood als purper,
ze worden wit als wol.

A journalist from Mexico asked me some useful question. I thought it might be useful to post my unedited answers online.
