Culture and style around the world : around japanese animation ( Culture) + bonus ( a drawing by me )

All begin by mangas

The word "manga" is sometimes used to indicate, by extension, a not Japanese comic strip respecting the codes of the Japanese popular productions or to name, awkwardly, other visual products calling back some of these comic strips (cartoons, graphic style, etc.). Mangas translated into French language are generally read in the direction of origin (from right to left).

It brings a certain confusion because the reading of the words is then made in the inverse sense(direction) of that of compartments (what is not the case in Japan).

origins?

Invented by the caricaturist Katsushika Hokusai ( 1760-1849 ), the manga term means literally " derisory image ". "Manga" of Hokusai were prints caricaturing popular characters. This type of representation, their style and their boldness, eventually gave birth to a shape of graphic expression full, in the same way as the comic-portfolio in the United States or the French-Belgian Comic strip in Europe.

Then it's become an animation

An Anime , also called japanime or japanimation1, indicates a series or a cartoon movie from Japan. It is the diminutive of the word animeshon transcription of English "animation 2 itself".

While the very first known Japanese animations date 19173 and while a good many of original livened up(led) drawings are produced during the next decades, the characteristic and the style anime develop during 1960s (in particular thanks to the works of Osamu Tezuka) and popularize outside the borders of Japan during 1970s and 1980.The anime, as the manga, possesses a wide audience in Japan and is easily recognizable all over the world. The distributors can spread(broadcast) anime by means of TV channels, by video, by theater
