Fanlore's Journal

And again, I posit they're not different sources at all -- I don't see why you would think so. Live Action TV Series are also in different languages in different countries, have different aesthetic and cultural clichés and plot types, probably have genre differences, etc. Manga and comics and manhwa and historietas (which is also a translation of the term manga, and manhwa, and comics) are not substantially different in any other sense that all those. The only difference is a classification one based on fandom culture. What is then the argument to separate comics (which apparently encompasses not USA stuff too. Like what?) and manga?

(sorry, animé is how anime is written in Spanish; I sometimes flub when I write in English. Though you may have supposed they were the same, no? They're not really written substantially different. Are you finding this discussion disagreeable or aggressive? Why the reaction?)
