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").
Long ago, Japan was sealed off from the rest of the world blocking communication and transportation. After Japan was open to the world, the european countries thought Japanese people focused on more forms of art, such as shading, perspective, anatomy, and a lot more (Rabkin). Astro Boy was created by Tezuka Osamu, this show was really popul...

...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).

These ideals are often the societal norms that form common ground amongst individuals.

    Japan has historically taken ideas from the United States on its business, merchandise, or other corporate sectors to improve within its political borders. These practices have become massive cultural and economic movements in Japan. Interestingly, Japan takes ideas and molds them into Japanese culture and style; therefore, these products are “Japanized.” To further elaborate on this statement, Japan has succeeded in its businesses and corporations such as the automobile industries around the world (for example, the NUMMI plant production transcended those of American automobile productions due to an enhanced Japanese corporate culture).
