The impact of anime and manga has impacted America’s culture a great deal. Animation means the process of using photographs (drawings) and the positions of puppets (or dolls) and figures. This technique is used to make a person's eye think that they are seeing movements as in a movie. You can use animations on computers, too. The history of anime is the main focus of this paper. It is a type of comic strip and graphic novel made by the Japanese. These are usually, if not always, about sixty percent directed toward adults although some are generally directed toward children (“Anime”).
Genres are hare. They are usually really hard to tell what they are (Yegulalp). An adventure theme is when a person or character goes on a journey, it's an adventure. In addition, a comedy theme is an exciting piece that features funny and weird types of entertainment. The drama theme is a type of anime that features emotions, such as anger, sadness, and a lot more. Sometimes it’s not just the regular old genres, for example, a new one is a type of anime that features large amounts of devastation, sadness, and despair. Or it could be shounen a type that is mainly directed toward men or boys, including violence and fighting. Maybe the reader does not like any of those. Maybe they are the sports type and they like the sports topics better than the actual topics of anime that other people like ("Manga - Genres").

...ncludes a lot of adventure, it seems it will never end and also its interesting more than one way! One Piece is also a success, since its still able to air even after 500 episodes, thats just proof that they can still earn money on their work. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z holds it's own as being one of the most successful shounen series. The original anime started back in 1986 and the series still continues to be very popular today. This is because they get advertised a lot (commercials, movies, video games, merchandises,etc), and it's been on going for years ("Top 10 Popular Anime Series - Listverse").
Anime and manga can be and will be a huge influence to the innovating animation industry. But, Japan didn’t start it all. America did. Japan's inspirations came from two creations of the west, the comic strip (newspapers) and the motion picture (also know as Film).

    In society today, we are conditioned to believe certain sets of ideals. We use these ideals to interact and get along with the other people we surround ourselves with. These ideals are often the societal norms that form common ground amongst individuals.
