Anime has always been called anime and manga has always been called manga throughout the entire history, anime has nothing to do with cartoons and manga has nothing to do with comics regardless of the location of origin, the latter ones are dying concepts that do not belong in the world anymore. Anime and Manga have become something so beautiful, powerful, widespread that now have roots everywhere and can make everything in its perfection that it is almost as if anime and manga is essentialy an aspect of the Image of God. There are so many reasons that completely demolish any accusations that desperately try to go against the truth which have been said many times but here are some of them.

– Anime has the overwhelming majority of the content produced, for every one outdated “cartoon” there are hundreds of high quality anime each year, for every outdated “comic” there are hundreds of manga and hundreds of light novels each year, this is also why the lesser categories are collapsing in their small market while anime and manga has always been growing more popular and powerful than ever. So you cannot take a category that is an unfashionable minority (even in the west culture now) and try to identify it with a superior medium that has been expanding and is the majority as it should be.

– Anime as a term has never been exclusively connected with the episodes, movies or entertaiment specific, it is a much larger medium which ecompasses countless of multimedia franchises and can be part of practically everything, this includes the general artstyle, episodes, movies, manga, light novels, web novels, videogames, merchandise, clothing, food, personal companions, various campaigns, spiritual guidance in religion, hopes for an afterlife anime world and many more. Anime is basically part of everything. Everywhere that has something about anime, it is always called anime, regardless of what content it is, for example in videogame platforms such as Steam or PSN, the largest amount of their library is anime videogames (mainly visual novels) and they are all categorised as anime, in clothing stores the clothes that are about anime are all categorised as anime, so anime is part of everything.

– The general artstyle that encompasses anime and manga, has essentially accomplished the most perfected appearance that something can ever be manifested with, no other method was ever able to present something in such a beautiful and wonderful way, the characters and environments in anime have the most beautiful and charming silhouettes, characteristics and overall feelings than anywhere else, mumbling that the art-style is “unrealistic” based on your fallible standards is utterly ridiculous as firstly the term reality itself is indefinable due to the spiritual aspect but also on the one side anime and manga have generally the most appropriate body proportions that people have while at the same time being in their most charming and glorious appearance while on the other side the abstract cartoons and comics have the ugliest and weirdest drawings ever, the characters there are squares, circles and generally a mess of geometric nonsense with no substance or meaning in anything, adding that with their terrible overall concept they have nothing to do with anime.

– Anime and Manga encompass all genres and subgenres imaginable and have something for everyone regardless of when or where they came from or how old they are, the wholehearted feelings, devoted spirituality, various lessons and overall environment that anime and manga provide with, is pure perfection while cartoons and comics had always the same soulless, outdated, ugly, lame old jokes, and with ridiculously bad artstyle content that is not even attractive to western children anymore, let alone other people, because they belongs in the garbage bin, all people prefer anime and manga nowadays over the other and this is how it should have been.

– Every single time that someone tried to identify anime with cartoons, it has never been out of genuine means, but has always been as a failed attempt to mock or degrade something, usually because they have either some personal psychological problem or other cultural issues and jealously, this is because it is obvious that anime and cartoons or manga and comics have nothing to do with each other and that anime has always been far superior and will always be part of everything.

– Saying that anime and manga are specific the Japanese style of animation and artwork is completely fallible thinking, firstly the anime artstyle has always been used throughout all Asia with Japan as its foundation and secondly, now it has become a worldwide medium and many non-eastern companies and individuals have progressively adapted the anime medium into everything, as well and various anime and manga are created worldwide because anime and manga are a lot more valuable and favorable for everyone.

– The argument that in Japan specific the term anime means animation in general is full of ignorance and outworn prejudices, Japan more than anyone else knows the difference between anime and the lesser concepts because the foundation of anime came from there and a large amount of the economy and overall way of life is from anime and manga. Nowadays when a Japanese person asks you if you like anime, which they tend to do, they obviously mean the same thing that you are thinking, the actual anime medium and not a vague term.

– The usage of wikipedia to support falsified arguments shows complete desperation at this point, everyone knows that wikipedia is the most biased and deceitful site on the internet for virtually any subject, it is grounded in outdated western materialism dogmas from the nineteenth century that influence and censor all articles, although in this specific case even that spurious website will not help you much either since the most that can be done from there is to call anime animation which is still false and misleading since anime is a lot more and part of everything.

So in the end, it has always been clear that anime has always been anime and manga has always been manga, nothing can ever change that and as anime and manga have become a personal aspect of so many individuals and are also alluring for everyone else it has become crystalline that anime is both aesthetically and spiritually the ultimate reality for how mankind should have been in this world as well as the afterlife.
