# ugh... not another one
manga = comics (comics ONLY)
anime = "animation" (technically any kind of animation, but it's accepted you're talking about the japanese kind)
hentai = the disgusting thing you're talking about

# technically you are 100%
incorrect.

Manga is a company, their primary industry is their comics, which over here in england and america many many people mistake them ALL as "Manga" however, there is only 1 brand called Manga.

Also, Manga's secondary industry is motion pictures, of which a Few Hentai are made, and many contain.

As such, he was right first of all ;)

Ah Thankyou.

# As far as i remember "manga company" is a foreign distrobution/translation company
and is not in any way the author or production company for anything you've seen under it's label.

# heh :P
I thought they made them, but I don't understand the words. They scare me.

But i'm almost POSITIVE that the original comics were made by a company called Manga.
I just assumed they made the films too as they have the logo "Manga". but Still I was technically right. Manga do films and comics, so urr... you can call the films Manga also.

# Disney didn't make spirited away
but their logo was smacked on the front... you didn't see the little totoro logo of studio ghibli anywhere on the posters.

# what mr zycotic said above, i was refering to the company name, not the style.
haveing a few of the animated series distributed by manga (the company) in the UK.

however you are quite right in your discription of manga in relation to the comic books, as a translation of Manga into english means 'irresponsible pictures'.

# Ironic isn't it?
"irrisponsible pictures" are now a large part of their local economy.

# yes.
i belive it developed from the shunga-e bedroom pictures and some of the other erotic woodblock prints (wuit a few of which involved octopus, hench the tenticle fasination).
