sobs why are ppl so adamant that theyre "making [their] own manga/anime". Babe no1 is trying to gatekeep it ur just american Those Are Just The Japanese Words For Comic And Animation. "But its in the anime style!!!" Yeah so are a lot of western cartoons "But it's a black and white comic!!" yeah so are the comics I see in the newspaper. Why do u want it to be a japanese thing so bad im gonna kms

#srry this is abt this one guy on tt who I swearrr i have blocked like six times already #yk how in mexican resturaunts we call melted cheese dip “queso” even tho queso just means cheese #like it doesnt mean Melted cheese or anything thats just specification we (america) came up with #I feel like thats a similar thing with animanga #likw theres plenty of manga that isnt in black and white and has a super western/non-traditional style. We just say all manga has that style #and is in black and white. And theres tons of anime with cartoon styles (Scott pilgrim takes off or mp100 come to mind) we just say that it #all has that style #and so ppl just assume that it means any animation with that style is automatically anime/manga #when rlly its just. the words for animation and comics #ugh. idk this is stupid #AND I DONT THINK ITS UNREASONABLE TO SAY SMTH IS AN “ANIME STYLE” OR W/E #even tho theres tons of stuff thats Not like that visually #it is a very defined and recognizable Style #I just think its weird to say that the project itself is an animanga
