Anime, Manga & otaku culture

2. A cartoon is an animated scenario designed
for entertainment. Cartoons these days
and time come in the drawn and animated
forms. There are cartoons based on every
topic imaginable. From cats (Garfield) to
superheroes (Batman).

4. Anime is the Japanese shortened
pronunciation of the English word animation.
Anime refers to traditional Japanese
animation, but is also used to describe those
animations which were created by computers
as well. In Japan the word is used to describe
anything animated, but outside of Japan the
term is used to reference specifically those
animations which originate in Japan.

6. The major difference between cartoon and anime in
today’s world lies in that cartoons have become
associated with children, while anime is considered more
suitable for adults. Cartoons also have unrealistic
scenarios and characters such as a talking mouse, while
anime are situated more towards realistic but may also
incorporate magic and other such things. However, again
this depends on the creator of the show and is not used as
an appropriate classification. The lines between both of
these have been created by many lovers out there so
suggesting that anime is a type of cartoon has become a
strict no-no among these people.

8. In modern Japanese slang, the term otaku is mostly
equivalent to "geek" or "nerd". However, it can relate to
any fan of any particular theme, topic, hobby or form of
entertainment. "When these people are referred to as
otaku, they are judged for their behaviours - and people
suddenly see an “otaku” as a person unable to relate to
reality". The word entered English as a loanword from
the Japanese language. It is typically used to refer to
a fan of anime/manga but can also refer to Japanese
video games or Japanese culture in general. The
American magazine Otaku USA popularizes and covers
these aspects.

14. Being an otaku means that you love anime
but at the same time you don't get obsessed
over it, are rational and critical but enjoy
the anime/manga/LN/VN with your heart.
otaku culture can be a very educational
culture both in mental skills and general
knowledge if interpreted correctly.

15. I'm an Otaku because i love
anime as it teaches us diff
things. For an example in DBZ
we get to learn that we should
never give up and we can also
turn our enemies into friends.
