**Ryos** · February 15th, 2002

Rather than take the effort to say something bizarre, I'm going to copy what the OTAKU DICTIONARY has to say:

1. Anime (AH-nee-may or AN-nee-may)
n. - Literal origin from the French, (short for "animation"). Refers to "Japanese Animation", a genre/medium that has its roots in the 1960's when the Japanese began making television versions of their version of comics (manga). Unlike the "cartoon", America and other culture's counterpart to anime, much of the Japanese animation shown is one of deeper, sometimes more mature themes, including developed storylines, linear plots, and aspects of violence, sex, drama, and comedy (not unlike live-action films in the States). There are different kinds of anime and each kind embraces adifferent age group or group of people. In Japan, the medium is as much respected as the "live-action" genre of movies. In other cultures, anime has achieved a mostly cult following, though with the mainstream acceptance and awareness of such anime as Pokemon, Dragonball Z, Tenchi Muyo, and Perfect Blue, the anime movement continues to gain in strength and visibility.

2. Manga (MAHN-gah or MANG-ah)
n. - From the Japanese, literally meaning "whimsical pictures". Manga has its roots in early drawings done in the 1100's, and it has since then evolved into an art form that has encompassed a significant portion of the Japanese culture. The equivalent of "comic books" in Western culture, manga is intertwined with anime due to the fact that many popular manga series are transferred onto video or the TV screens as animated shows. Japanese comics are usually released in black and white, small volumes containing several stories.
ex. - I bought some really good Tenchi Muyo manga today.

3. Hentai (HEHN-tai)
n., adj. - From the Japanese, meaning "pervert" or "perverted". Has strong connotations and in a social setting, refers to any individual who has lack of morals when it comes to sexual situations and associations. Such individuals have a heavy interest in things of this nature. In anime terms, hentai refers to anime with strong sexual situations or acts contained in it. "La Blue Girl" and "Ogenki Clinic" are two such examples of this type of anime.
ex. - That one anime character is definitely a hentai.
ex. 2 - I think hentai anime is disgusting.

4. Ecchi (EH-chee)
n., adj. - From the Japanese, meaning "pervert" or "perverted", and the literal pronunciation of the letter "H" (hentai). This particular word has a milder, less powerful context than its much stronger counterpart, "hentai" and refers usually to more accidental instances of a sexual nature (for example, a male walking into the girls' locker room by mistake or accidentally seeing photos of a romantic interest in revealing clothing). Some anime could be defined as "ecchi" because of scenes of a lightly sexual nature.
ex. - You knew I was taking a shower! Ecchi!
other forms - etchi

5. I have no idea.

Dojinshi ? I heard that from somewhere before ...... sounded close enough to some sort of a martial arts name

**Ryos** · February 15th, 2002

Doujinshi isn't one of the requested terms. I'm not exactly sure why question 5 is there in the first place.

Hanamichi · February 15th, 2002

I meant , maybe he wanted Dojinshi ?

**Shiori** · February 15th, 2002

Doujinshi is simply manga made by freestyle (amateur) mangaka, usually sold in comikes, or comic markets in Japan.

**Ryos** · February 15th, 2002

Yes. And don't get CCS doujinshi at shoujo cons. You've been warned. O_o

**Shiori** · February 15th, 2002

...Unless they're into that sort of thing, that is.

Urgh, must...refrain...from...making...Tomoyo...comment. o_O

That sort of thing should have its own label for it. Eek.

**Shiori** · February 15th, 2002

Ah, are you talking about Koigokoro? That's the famous Tomoyo doujinshi so, uh...disturbing, that it's kinda rare. I mean the manga, not manga scans found on the net.

Esturk · February 15th, 2002

I have a question about Japan. What exactly are Prefectures?

**Shiori** · February 15th, 2002

Prefectures in Japan are what Counties are to America.

**Ryos** · February 15th, 2002

A prefecture is just a region that's generally governed locally. Japan isn't the only country that has had "prefectures," but it's the only modern one I can think of that specifically uses that term (Rome also used them). It's smaller than a state, but generally larger than a city.

I am now one bit wiser. Thanks Shiori, Ryos.
