# 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.

here's the company's description, they sure as hell don't make them

# 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).
