alright! i'll be kicking off the starter pack with some terms (kinda like Anime 101) so everyone can join the club. here's the quick lowdown: - anime: you probably already know this. lol. these are japanese animated shows or movies. think epic stories, really good visuals, and feels that hit hard. popular examples like Naruto or Spirited Away (movie). - manga: these are japanese comics or graphic novels. they are usually black-and-white and you read from right-to-left. most anime comes from manga. - manhua: these are comics like manga but chinese comics. it's often more colorful with dope art. - donghua: are chinese animated shows or films. really smooth animation, sometimes wuxia or fantasy flavors. (i just remembered the movie i was talking about. Legend of Hei. @retalien ) 1/2

then there are other terms you might hear when dealing with anime, especially genres. dw, these are fun too. stay with me. - shonen: the textbook definition is anime/manga aimed at young guys, this is because it's packed with action and growth. - shojo: these are stories targeting young women, usually with romance or emotional vibes. - seinen: this one's more of gritty or mature anime/manga for adult men (like Berserk or Tokyo Ghoul). - josei: mature, realistic stories for adult women, often about relationships. - isekai: another popular genre where characters get transported to another world (like Re:Zero or Mushoku Tensei). we also have ecchi (playful, suggestive-type anime) and slice of life (anime/manga about everyday chill moments, relationships and personal growth.) there are a lot more terms, lol. but this is just as good for beginners. (wrote this with you in mind @ifeoluwafavour ) 2/2
