[@AdvyDeven]

The term is "OEL Manga", I believe. Also working on my own.

[@caesarnarro1624]

the orientation depends on which magazine you publish. in Japan it is from right to left. in France it's the same. and other places left to right. what I say is, draw as you want to draw, call it as you want to call it, publish where you want to publish. in the end, the only thing that matters is that it is interesting to read.` I mean, if you're not Japanese, but you want to talk about samurais, ninjas, Japanese schoolgirls, go ahead. research, develop and be original. (because many people fail in this aspect or complain about this? simple, because they have to create something very very similar to something already existing and this goes for all nationalities.) in interviews with editors of the jump have said that the only thing that matters is to be original and interesting. It does not matter where the job comes from. in the end .. it's you, who decides what to do and how to do it.

[@irvingcomics]

Love the analogy of Manga=Comic, Football/Futball/Futbol=Soccer. It makes sense I hate it when people judge me for drawing in a certain style and they call me out like I'm wrong. WELL EXCUSE ME, I have developed my style for years based on comics I like not judging based off of where they came from so let me do me...sheesh. Great video Odunze!

[@GBDubstep]

When I visited Japan and asked teenagers what anime they watched when they were kids, they showed me Dexter's Lab or Spongebob. I don't know if it was because I was American or because they didn't didn't distinguish between cartoons and "anime".

[@samuelmillioud]

GBDubstep anime basically means animation..

[@leviharris-hale6578]

GBDubstep a cartoon is anime

[@pencokun]

GBDubstep Like the others have mentioned before, the word "anime" is pretty much the shortened form of the word "animation" but written in katakana (animation ⇛ アニメーション read as animēshon ⇛ アニメ a.k.a. anime). In Japan anime is basically any animated form of entertainment, including Spongebob Squarepants, Pocahontas, Dexter's Lab, and Steven Universe.

[@purpledawn2727]

In japan they call all animated series anime. That's what anime means. It is short for animation. They also call american comics manga as far as I know, but I guess they might say comic just to make clear that they are talking about a foreign comic just like I would say manga to make clear that it is a japanese one.

[@harveyart3036]

There are people in my school looking over my shoulder when I'm drawing a character that I made or a character from a popular manga/anime and say, ''Ew!! What is that?! Hentai drawing freak!!!'' Or something like that, and it makes me feel.... not bad but just in a worse way than before but I haven't stopped drawing. If anything it makes me feel like I have to prove them wrong

[@ababil4606]

Harvey Art yo what kinda school do you go, there’s this girl in my school and it’s a public school, she would draw gay hentai and nobody gives two fucks about it, and I live in a mean neighborhood, but you really shouldn’t let people talk to you like that or let them get to your head, fuck them. And it surprises me that people still makes fun of or shame anime or manga lovers.

[@AlexKavazArt]

@World Wide Weeb yeh, prejudice when we haven't even finished drawing, them not understanding perspective and anatomy and then asking me those questions as if they know any better lol, its annoying. I get you bro

[@kahasy646]

I'm lucky because where I'm at the most people will do is meme about like Naruto running and here's the thing I love memes

[@todorokisfavouriteobject9109]

That’s just annoying, I mean if you were to draw hentai then it’s alright to call it hentai but not all anime’s have hentai so that doesn’t make sense… My friends don’t really care but it’s the teachers that find anime really weird, I have yet to come across a teacher who likes or understands anime. I hope there is Atleast 1 anime liking teacher considering there’s over 100 staff.

[@2ndai385]

TBH with Manhua now and days being colored with the style they're drawn in looking like anime/manga style just news and Korean instead it still is manga at heart. Differences mostly feel just cultural and style wise with each. I think it's mostly Elitist edgy trashy Weebs that try argue these things tbh

[@angelmakima]

Everytime i see your videos, it pushes me again and again to get up and continue making my comic book/manga, Thanks for the video!😊

[@CedrickTheHun]

Your faces are so appealing. It has nothing to do with the topic of this video, just wanted to share.

[@drebodollaz3504]

I feel like comics and manga are the same medium but the different countries and cultures give them a diff flavor. Like if you ate fried rice from a Latino they have a specific way of cooking and seasoning it, just like if you ate fried rice from a Chinese person they have their own methods and ingredients.

[@magee_gameplay]

America= cheap animation and more realistic looking art Japan= stylized and more detailed animation even when cheaply made compared to America

[@BakaTheStruggler]

Greasy Hobo The exception does not make the rule. Sadly, there aren't many American animated shows who try to up their stylization and detail nowadays, so what he said still applies. I have hope for the future though. The kids who grew up on anime will soon be the ones running the big animation studios.

[@King-hs9zc]

KungFuPandurr the avatar, the boondocks and I think there's one more I just can't remember it

[@BakaTheStruggler]

KrobTheGreat 1 In terms of story and stylization, I would also say Samurai Jack, and to a slightly lesser degree, Steven Universe.

[@King-hs9zc]

KungFuPandurr yes samurai jack is actually the one I was referring to but im not so sure about Steven universe

[@BakaTheStruggler]

KrobTheGreat 1 It really feels like an American anime, and even has fight scenes that directly pay homage to a lot of classic anime. With that being said, some episodes do feel more like just a normal cartoon. Oh yeah, I guess we could include Teen Titans in the list too.

[@samuelqw]

I think that the people who separate those two terms are people who had Japanese media idolized and they don't want to mix their products with others from different parts of the world. But i'm pretty sure that everyone who had put a foot into the actual creation of something (comic, animation) can realize very fast that there's actually no difference, except than cultural ones. This video its very helpful for everyone who wants to start doing a creative work. Thank you Whyt!

[@bumblehoney7206]

I like to think of manga and western comics as different things and as the same. I often say "I'm working on a comic" and "I'm working on a manga" interchangeably and depending on who I'm speaking with at the moment

[@eggthetalonflame1453]

Manga is from Japan created by a Japanese person living in Japan and originally in Japanese. if it's not created in Japan it's a comic even if the artist is Japanese.

[@shio7344]

This is a very interesting point; however, there are other parts that come to play with this sort of thing. Tradition. American mangakas may choose to draw their manga right to left to keep the tradition of manga, of Japanese comics. They make stylistic choices to keep this tradition alive. It is a choice for each author, whether or not they want to do this but it is a reason why some authors do, do this.

[@whytmangatv]

You're right, artists can use whatever orientation they want regardless of whether it may affect their publishing [I'd advise against it, it's always safe to use the orientation of where you want to publish, especially if you want to be published by a predominantly English or left to right speaking publisher]. I just want people to know why Japanese comics are that way to begin with and then they can decide. it's better to understand the foundation so one can then make informed decisions. I know some authors know this and do to keep the aesthetic and Japanese tradition alive and that's an okay argument by fine me but some don't know why they do it and think it's law.

[@jaysato]

one thing i have noticed in the difference of a manga artist and s comic artist is the fact that most manga artist do the pencils, inking, and coloring ( of course just if they do covers, posters, special occasion). of course they have assistants who help them in doing it and also the drawings do not have too much contrast. where as comic artists, youve got the pencil artist, the inker, then the colorist. all separate mostly. im not saying one is better than the other but just an observation i made from a guy who was born and raised reading manga (im japanese btw). also most mangas are stand alone series. yes there are comics like that too. but that's probably why i think manga to me has the advantage of easily diving in because theres only one. i like comics too but i can never dive into like a spiderman comic since i dont know where to start. anyway, do you know of any comic artist who pencils, inks, and colors his drawings? ive been watching manga artists drawings videos (jumpryu) and also some if the great comic artists drawing. im not a pro but im also an illustrator. i love seeing the different process the artists do. especially in manga. they all draw differently and process it differently. i was lucky enough to have scott mccloud come to my college

[@cancan363]

jaysato Sean Gordon Murphy but he only pencils and inks!! And, I do agree about diving in to the comic book industry. There's so many batmans (who I love!!) And Spidermans. It's like where do you start? But, I think if you're creative enough and can retell your story in your own style. Then, you got a shot!! 😄

[@VermillionRacing]

yeah same. honestly I can't get into the western stuff because it's all jumbled together and I have no clue where to begin

[@jaysato]

sean gordon murphy. cool ill check his work out. yeah to me, there is no need to retell a story over and over again. there are too many reboots or retelling by someone else which i do not like. unless its done by the creator himself.

[@jaysato]

exactly. like when i saw the x-men movie, the only new about it because of watching the cartoon in the 90s or hearing about the x-men stories from my uncle who read comic books.

[@samuraireflection]

I'm going to make a guess and say that jack Kirby does his own comics completely.

[@MJAYMONONOKE]

Page orientation is right to left and the (Japanese) text is read vertically.

[@whytmangatv]

TRUE.

[@MJAYMONONOKE]

Whyt Manga *Senpai noticed me!* 😫

[@jaykay6222]

No lie, when you pulled out that mystery material with the dots and placed/cut it out to make it cover the characters face...that was cool. I'd never thought something like that would be a technique used in this sort of thing. Granted, I'm not an artist, so there are loads of techniques that'd likely surprise me like this, but I just found that to be really cool for some reason, and wanted to share that thought... So, there it is.

[@Cuteemogirl94]

To me there are already too much movies, Anime, Manga and tv shows that play in America or Japan so I would like to read more about storys with settings in different places of the world that's why my favorite settings are fantasy worlds that don't really exist in real life.

[@WiredRoot]

I get what you're saying and agree that it's OK to have your own style when it comes to comics and drawing, but it's also important to remember that Japan is a country that has build it's culture on predictability. There are many rules in Japan and those even tell you how far you are allowed to break other rules, but your freedom stops there where the readers feel uncomfortable with what you're trying to do. I think that this predictability is also the reason why Manga and Anime themself are so much more popular than western comics, especially when it comes to quality.

[@whytmangatv]

That kinda makes sense but remember those "rules" only apply depending on the individual artists goals are, For example, If I don't care AT ALL about popularity or how people may perceive my work and just allow them see it as they please or I only make manga as a hobby, I can do what ever I like, or my publisher/editor or boss etc specificaly says, go for it!, there are no rules and even if there are, these rules, if any, depend on factors that aren't always consistent or constant, things change all the time, manga from years ago is very different from manga today regardless of the country of publication, the reasons for these changes also do not negate the change itself. So again, makes sense but thats not even a Japan thing, every one has their way of working, so different rules exist and lastly, I don't 100% agree with your point on Japan with predictability. That doesnt make too much sense to me, for example, there are certain tips and techniques for good storytelling and some might be predictable to a degree but again, it's not a Japan thing... unless I did not fully understand your point. At the end of the day, there really arent any rules, it depends on the creator.

[@WiredRoot]

What I'm talking about is that Japanese culture tends to be more focused on tradition and fixed rules, there is enough flexibility, but less than in other cultures. This is something that you'll often see in Japanese workplaces, just think about how often we hear that Faxes are still popular. There it's often more important to stick to the known process of doing something than to always find new and more efficient ways. Nearly all Mangakas are working in those environments and I often heard that they even get told how to name their coloring layers when they work at something on a PC, but goes as far as what poses and facial expressions to use and how to do their line work. This hidden structure of traditions brings often an important familiarity to most of the popular media that comes from Japan. It's ok to create freely, but it's always important to think about what audience one is aiming at, because art is a form of expression, a language of emotions, which means that someone else also has to be able to understand it. You can always invent your own language, but it often makes more sense to talk the words that will be understood.

[@BakaTheStruggler]

Asagi Your argument only applies to Japanese mangaka, and even then, hardly. Look at Eiichiro Oda, the creator of muthafuckin ONE PIECE. His whole shtick is unpredictability and aesthetic originality. Had One Piece come out in the 80s, maybe it would have flopped, but nowadays, those qualities are appreciated more than ever. If the story is good, the story is good. Doesn't matter if you followed conventional traditions or not. Too many manga end up stale and boring BECAUSE they try to follow convention and tradition to a fault. cough (Fairy Tail) cough. I'm tired of reading the same damn stories with the same damn characters who are just named differently. We need more people of various ethnicities and nationalities to put what they know into their stories. Makes for more relatable topics, humor, and storylines.

[@SupermaninJapan]

Asagi Actually the rules depends on each individual company just like America. For example, Jump comics has a different set of rules compared to KC comics in Japan. The rules and criteria differ because of the different audiences and stories being told. Jump is for boys. KC is for boys and girls. If an artist in Japan in isn't with a company, he or she is much more free.

[@はいるこいち]

[@vxrcii7430]

you just changed my life .. this i needed fuck the haters and dislikes

[@purpledawn2727]

I'm so glad you talk about this stuff. People seems to think that manga and comic is different things. I just see them as the same and I call them the same. Some people seems to get upset if you mix them up and I don't get that. My comic borrows some of the "manga" aestetic, but it stops there. Everything else is in a european setting and my characters is from my country. When I was young I fell into the "japanese manga trap" where I made japanese characters and setting etc. But I quickly realized; "how am I supposed to make a story like this when I have never even been to japan?" I know nothing real about japan and therefore it made no sense to do a comic this way. My tip is to write about something you know, that seems familiar to you.

[@eggthetalonflame1453]

In western Countries Manga and Comics are totally different things. But in Japan manga is any comic book.

[@rexncaesar345]

I like how you are telling people that manga and comics, the difference is just the style and culture. I also like how you mentioned that different comics even have their own style and that there are no real set of rules when it comes to this. Yes, it is all in the style and how you represent your comic or the "feel" it gives.

[@LaroonDynasty]

I think it has more to do with the connotations. Eastern comics and animation has always been known to appeal to all ages. Western comics have the standard connotation of being for children. This applies to marvel, DC, Cartoon Network, etcetera. It's already becoming a worldwide phenomenon.

[@Zaccura]

Thank you for making this video, Whyt! As I say in my trailer vid, I used to be all like "I don't wanna make a comic book, I wanna make a Manga!!" but as I got into it more I started to realize how blurred the lines are between the two and how silly it is to limit one's creativity for the sake of authenticity. Now, I just say "I'm gonna make a graphic novel" 'cause I'm like, screw the boundaries, I'm just going to make the best story I can make and if that means some people will think it's not Manga, who cares. As long as they like the story I will have done my job.

[@ericb5328]

It's just for easy distinction. Not to enforce any hard rules. You wouldn't call the Simpsons an anime, you wouldn't call spiderman a manga. We all kinda get which is which

[@ChibiGrl]

I agree! That's what I'm doing too, putting my Japanese characters in an American atmosphere :)

[@adriangriffin-moore3063]

OmG sO gAmE cHaNgInG

[@evilwifu]

This is just my personal opinion, but i think creators revealing who they are behind the story RUINS the story for me... it really becomes hard to enjoy. especially ecchi type mangas, when reading 'those' type of scenes and the creator's face jsut pop up in my mind, what a turn off lmfao. i think the reason for this is cause it makes the story feel all the more fiction, it's hard to get immersed in the story when i know the creator's face or voice. this is also probably why most mangaka in japan choose to not face reveal and attract too much attention to themselves.

[@2dahiphop]

AGREED. FACTS. Great video.

[@jericgreene5440]

One of the key difference in Manga/Anime and Comics/Cartoons are theme and tone. Hence all the categories of of Manga and Anime out there. If you look at Naruto, My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball they are share a similar story and arc structure and they all function in telling a Aseops like lesson for the society to go by. Yes tools techniques and style are open to interpretation but the function of the media are what marks them as different. Manga and Anime are not the circular story telling of western Comics and Cartoons. For the most part the story are serial and the characters grow and change in approximation of real time, while comics will by there very circular aspect have to be rebooted every few decades because they keep treading the same roads over and over again for a new aging audience. The reason manga are different is in the basis of the storytelling and not necessarily in the execution of the art itself which is why a lot of American Mangaka's are not as well received in the Japanese market place.

[@whytmangatv]

the difference you stated are not necessarily the differences between Manga/Anime and Comics/Cartoons, what you've typed are the differences between JAPANESE Manga/comics and AMERICAN Manga/comics. Same applies to JAPANESE Anime/Cartoons compared to AMERICAN Anime/Cartoons.

[@troydseymore-mullen2274]

You broke that down very well my brother!

[@stefan1669]

Manga and comics are different... for example, Mangas end... they are finite, once they finish they don't get remade by different artists and rebooted, they might have sequeles or prequels but nothing compared to American comics. American comics end, and then get remade again... and again... and again... and never stop, how many versions of Batman, Spider-Man, TMNT be remade by different artists with altered character versions.

[@KamerenBearForce]

I would like to personally thank you for this video, me and my friend are trying to make a comic or manga. After listening to this video I feel that I should change my approach to what I know, instead of trying to be like everyone else.

[@TheBitzr]

I agree! that's a good way to put it! It can be really hard for us people that have our own unique style and it doesn't really fit in Western Comics or Japanese comics but we can use these terms to help explain it. But in the end we're all just creating stories in our own unique way 💕

[@Kazu-pm9jd]

Yeah you're right.... That's happen to me everytime, when i talked about my works, they keep arguing what my work is manga or a comics, i just tell them they're the same, and if they keep saying it, i said come here fight me, i'll show you its the same thing

[@amanwearingsuspenders7390]

Just so we're clear, this does NOT make Cory in the House an anime. Seriously, I am TIRED of that meme.

[@tadashihatsudai]

Although it can be agreed that manga and comics are the same thing when you only think about the semantics, people will want to make distinctions between Western and Eastern comics with short-hand terms because of the cultural differences. And this trend probably will not end anytime soon. A comic created in Japan will often take from, indirectly be influenced by or respond to cultural values shared within Japanese society. In the event that a creator is responding to cultures outside of Japan, that would still be considered anime because the creator will often have a set of values and perceptions shaped by the culture they were raised in. Hence why some people might not agree that "Avatar: The Last Airbender" isn't anime, but rather anime influenced, aesthetic wise.

[@BakaTheStruggler]

Nephtalie Albert That sounds badass. I'd read it.

[@talimediaart]

[@BakaTheStruggler]

Nephtalie Albert I'm Mexican, but I'm kind of tired of stories with only White or Asian main characters, lol. I myself am working on a Sci-Fi/Action-Adventure novel with a heavy Hong Kong Kung Fu movie and anime influence, that has a Mexican main character. I'm interested in stories made by people with very minimal representation in pop-culture.

[@talimediaart]

KungFuPandurr That's cool I would love to see it. How do you feel about modesty in manga like female characters wearing skimpy clothing?

[@BakaTheStruggler]

Nephtalie Albert I think if it fits their character, it's fine, but when you have a very young, shy girl wearing barely anything, I just cringe and shake my head, lol. Also when a female character wears bikini armor. I'm just thinking, "That's not practical at all." lol.

[@blackjack-ks8zn]

Manga and comics are different. Th diffrences is between their main characters. Ussualy comic characters are op.

[@alextankersley5838]

How and where do you get that gray-scale sheet? It seems to make that part of comic-making far easier. It also looks very nice.

[@lokivanni2500]

I would give my comic a Japanese title if the story took place in Japan.

[@robinsinhaxii-a3848]

Comics and Manga are definitely, clearly related. But, the thing is that they both aren't comics. They both are related to a 3rd thing, which they further specialized from. If I had to make a venn diagram, I would make 2 distinct bubbles both contained under one umbrella in another circle. What you said implies that comics is the main thing, and manga is kind of a more specialized type of comics. All the works one would call a manga, and those one would call a comics, do have an obvious difference between them as well. When you would randomly pick up a 3 pieces of work that would be generally classified as comics and 3 works classified as manga, any person who doesn't know what these 2 words mean would separate those 3 works out in one group and the other 3 in a second group, as he will notice a similarity between the 3 works in each of the groups within themselves. All this is, not to say of course, that manga is more stylized than comics, which are more 'real'. Moreover, the point you made about how both manga and comics can be grayscale? Well, you see, the thing is that something is not defined by the exceptions, it is defined and known to everyone by its norms- and the norm in comics is to have colour pages and in manga it is to have grayscale pages. It was a small point, but I thought I had mention it anyways. By the way though, why didn't you just title the video manga vs comics, instead of Worst Mistakes, that too with an 's'?

[@PanduhCJ]

I love this video! When you mention how you don't have to be inspired by one kind of media. For myself i'm currently writing a comic where i find most of my inspiration from various genres of music and all sorts of media.

It pretty much depends entirely on the target audience, if you're trying to appeal to a wide western audience, it would probably be a good idea to have it take place in some western country and include their customs and stuff so people can relate to it better. It feels really tacky to me when a westerner uses japanese words and titles and locations in their comic, it comes off as a cheap imitation. It would be better I think to focus on the awesome parts of your country or whatever and make something unique.

[@daikaizen1231]

thinking broad is good. putting yourself in a box reduces complexity.

[@rohansartist]

Yeah that is the thing that i tell everyone the difference is your follower are more😂 just the number... and someday I'll be there too.. thats my ninja way😂 of making art, Dattebayo!! And iam also working on a manga .. for japan.. and not really following their rules..its about to complete.lets see what happened.. and if you are reading this to the end than thanks..😄

[@eliznasamson8464]

(Spoiler:) I am working on a manga called "Mid - Night moon" and it's about my own original main characters of three takes a baby with tiny little wings then starts taking care of it. But when the mother of the child comes to get her baby back they wouldn't give it back (Alert:)

[@pigeonboie5899]

i actually think theres a misconception in this video as well. the styles of manga didnt origionate in japan, comic strips were brought in by american soldiers in world war 2. but manga esque aesthetics evolved in japan

[@namagaming999]

Cory in the House best anime.

[@Sammy_47]

Very well put. Although I enjoy the genre and style of manga, I just enjoy comics and animation in general and I want people to see my creations/comics as such. I know research is essential when creating stories, but if you just use it as a base and create your own world around that you won't run the risk of having people tell you this and that about what it's not. For instance, I love my samurai but because I know nothing about it first hand aside from reading up on it, I would rather create an alternate universe where they are technically not considered samurai by name, but they will be called something else...a name I would make up. For those who share the same interest in samurai characters they will see the individual with samurai like characteristics. To be safe this is what I do and it makes creating stories more fun when you can create your own universe, language and so on. Am I wrong?

[@ミルク-p8y]

OK ok. So I once watched a video that was covering the same topic (if I find it again I'll comment it on this comment), and they said... that the main difference... is that manga focusses on expression and emotion more than Western comics. If you go to a bookstore, ig the main difference is the size of the comic (ofc you have exceptions and whatnot. LET ME TELL YOU THAT EVEN THE MANGA FATHER, OSAMU TEZUKA'S WORK, READS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT) But if u go see in a comic book store (the one I go to nothing is labeled, not even the "manga section"), but you'll know where to find it. The spines of non-manga comics are USUALLY thinner and the general size is bigger. Manga's spines are USUALLY thicker and smaller of size. But don't let that stop you, or rather... you don't HAVE to label yourself when making a comic. I personally am very luch interested in the Japanese culture and actually WANT my comics to be published in Japan so I do have the habit of drawing from right to left. Do what fits best for you. It's not *not* manga if it's any different. Like I said, Osamu Tezuka's work is written from right to left.

[@starrailsunday]

I love how culturally diverse your characters are, having black characters or hijabis in manga is just really great to see 👌

[@JohnPeterPressonProtopsaltis]

DISCUSSION-Ironic that the rigid attitude you mention is a particularly American phenomenon. I see this in so many cultural venues where an American brings back all these hard and fast rules that aren’t…really rules. The “rule” that black and white manga is somehow sacrosanct. Sure a lot of early work was done with heavy blacks and line art, but by and large it had more to do with the cost of frequent printing. Kishotenketsu being a hard and fast, particularly in American rendering of manga (I think it is an interesting storytelling tool but not a hard and fast). I think most things that get accepted here in the West as “hard and fast”…aren’t.

[@nactrumofficial5450]

I have a novel I wrote back in 2000-2001, and the God of the Kingdom is named Ja'haal. I don't know the spelling of your character, as I have yet to check out Apple Black, but it's on my reading list.

[@throttlebrah]

What the f*k is originality anyway ?? Who cares about that ?? You're not living in Reinessance era anymore

[@thirdeyehorusinfantry1096]

Starting my first manga I'm not looking to publish it but I really think u gain the most experience from actually trying, so tip for those starting out, MAKE MANGA!!! It's the only way to gain manga experience

[@IAmEdgy645]

I Have a question, so me and my friend have been working on a cyberpunk horror webcomic [as of now we are still working on the story.] and i am the illustrator for it. But does anyone know how to port a webcomic to other country's? Cause I want to make translations for places outside of the US but idk a way to actually post the stuff there. So does anyone know any foreign webcomic sites?

[@kippy-kt7wv]

I love the Japanese way of making manga Like the right to left style and cool manga effects

[@atidmatabenisrael2779]

i believe u bro since Japan is more popular in creating their own anime's shows and "manga" we perfer it to be called "manga" cuz in western world the word "comics" itself reminds us about "spiderman" and these other super heroes we call that "comics" but in Japan it's different i believe since how the japanese do there manga/comics is more Adult version then the Western world which over here in america they do comics for kids only and not so much for adults only Japan is really doing it for the Adult version cuz we big boobs and big ass and cool fighting scenes it's more realistic for us so really i don't mind if i decided to created a manga and publish it in Japan or i could always make my own anime just like they did it, but with that being said i need to do alot of digging around

[@storyspice974]

You saw the sponge Bob anime opening lol

[@ΣΤΕΦΑΝΟΣΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΣ-π6θ]

ok can i ask a opinion to you Whyt Manga i dont know why but i think i like the way of right to left but i am in Greece and we read left to right is this problem for publication and on more question i never like the english sound effects and i use japannese i never understand them ,until i work to a project that i want to pumblish, but its soo cool as a page do you think this is a problem for publication in country other than japan (i have saw all of your video ,i respect your work and i have learn a lot from you thank you for this video and oportunity for this question ).

[@enthomorf]

Freedom? Are you sure? Are we forced to include a diversity agenda, among other things in our work - even if we don't agree - just to be accepted in the market? It doesn't sound like freedom to me.

[@josemariano9965]

manga is a style bro but then it's your opinion then again keep doing the good work 😊

[@sebastianguerrero6617]

Manga are similar to American comics but they are also very different But also it does have to come from Japan to be count as manga that's just a fact and I hate when people try to push that when trying to sell Comics they try to pass as manga it feels cheap and kind of like to try to steal and yes anime have to come from Japan to be count as anime that's just a fact it's stupid to say that

[@juryn7297]

Japan - manga Korea - manhwa China - manhua Every country that uses the english language to describe the certain visual art form - comics

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

Your bearded character looks a lot like my design of the god Odin. I guess no design is 100% original, just like you said

[@justgeo6889]

the reason why anime/manga look so destinctive is because over the last 2 decades it established a style wich is simple yet detailed but pleasing for the eye, i personally would phrase it the generic eastern comicbook style, yet there are odd ones out cuz in the end its up to the artist to decide wich direction its goin

[@ethanharms3881]

Is Saturday AM a legitimately good place to put your manga, like could you make a living off of it? Thanks

[@ATomicAstronaut]

A woman wearing a hijab who is not opressed?? THIS IS HARAM

That is one of the most badass Hijabi characters I’ve ever seen. She could step on me and I’d say thank you.

[@barbarosking3694]

sorry but is this girl islamic ??! if yes pls dont draw it like that you hurt islam , keep going at drawing good stuff

[@darkrai49874]

I've always thought manga was specifically Japanese. Because they're comics yeah definitely but since you're using the specific name for it in Japanese it's therefore Japanese. Same with anime. Anime are cartoons but using the Japanese term means you're referring to specifically Japanese animation. At least in my opinion. This argument will probably never end though haha

[@whytmangatv]

You're not wrong, I'm not saying they are the same, I'm saying that ESSENTIALLY they are the same in that they both are panels of art telling a story and that all the other differences are the same differences you would find when comparing any comic to the other, Style, culture etc. I do agree that when one uses the term Anime or Manga, it can be more specific and I state that in the video. I'm also saying that the argument doesn't really matter much, if the American creators of the Boondocks want to call what they do anime, technically, they're not wrong cause essentially, its all the same, the labels don't matter and people should feel free and not think it all has to be Japanese cause it doesnt. lol, it is a gray area kinda thing I agree.

[@darkrai49874]

Whyt Manga yeah I watched the video bro lmao. I meant yeah it's all the same really but I think the term anime and manga are used to refer to the specific area the comics/animation come from. I don't care much about the argument either but I doubt the fandom will come to an agreement anytime soon haha. Not that it even matters though. So long as the material is good. Nothing will be good just because it's considered anime or manga or something. I don't know why it's such a big deal amongst the anime/manga community to be honest haha

[@darkrai49874]

Whyt Manga also any copy of Naruto, DBZ, One Piece, etc will say Jump Comics on it so. There's that.

[@ImAlexGoodwin]

I've always assumed the terms "manga" and "anime" now are applied to the visual aesthetic and style of a medium; not their respective places of origin. Those terms have evolved past their original definitions. Avatar the Last Airbender, Voltron Legendary Defender, Teen Titans, RWBY and more are generally considered American-anime by people who don't adhere to the "Anime is only Japanese" mindset. Similarly, things like Apple Black, Sacred, and maybe even something like Brody's Ghost are considered manga because that is the aesthetic the creators were going for despite them not being from Japan. Regardless of their definitions, the stylistic differences between comics and manga are still there and have to be considered whenever someone says "they mean the same thing." Btw my apologies for the long post hahaXD

[@jbgra2566]

I'mAlex Even if that's the case, the thing is even among Japanese manga there's a broad variety of visuals, just compare Death Note to Sailor Moon. They are both manga but they don't follow the same style, so implying that something is manga or anime just because of the visuals is wrong. Because out there are mangas that can go from a simplistic and child-like style like Shin-chan and then you have works like Oyasumi Punpun, both of these mangas don't follow the aesthetics that would be considered "anime/manga".

[@SomeGuyNamedTai]

i don't think of it as the same thing I'm simple minded so to me if its from japan its manga and if its from another place its a comic and if its has a manga/anime style well to me that is just a creator drawing in a Japanese style

[@chaplainamin9888]

damn it man you really are a god tier at this whole comic thing i really need to know how old are you , it just to give me hope that i can become like you some day and it wont take me forever xD

when is your manga getting an anime adaptation? (im honestly curious, how can it get an anime adaptation)

[@Alecs250]

Worst mistake n°1 "oh you wanna draw manga? Just put some big eyes here and there

[@danieljimenez6858]

manga is more dramatic the facial features of manga characters are over exaggerated to covey emotions also the focus of manga very different

[@Anime-Kyōdai-i6d]

I make mine left to right, but only as a start. If I ever publish it. I will flip it

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

I agree with you though I mostly make the difference similar to Hal and cooking you have the same ingredients right. There are several cultures that use rice beans and chicken obviously but each culture makes them different so Spanish rice and beans and chicken is not the same as Haitian rice and beans and chicken or other kind of cultures like Mexico or are even Korea rice and beans and chicken. And yet they're all the same ingredients but each culture might name him a little different just so you understand oh when you say that word this is what you're referencing to. So yeah I don't understand people's Obsession just because if you're not Japanese or you don't draw right-to-left that it's not manga because the whole point of why you would call your comic manga is probably because you've been heavily inspired by manga and even though the end result may not look like a generic form of manga once you start reading the full story you can see where the flavor is coming from
