Difference between anime and manga?

Anime is short for animation, manga is more or less the Japanese word equivalent of comic.

They're basically two mediums of the same art style -_-

Manga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manga (漫画, Manga?) is the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. Outside of Japan, it usually refers specifically to Japanese comics.

can you see comics on tv, use some god damn sense...
and you've answered the second question in the question, people are 'so fucking hostile' because it is a simple question that 5 minutes on wiki could have told you the answer to

You can't see print cartoons on TV, damnit. That's why there's the word "print" in it. You're so goddamn dense.
Manga is comics. You know, word bubbles, drawn on paper, printed to books.
Anime is animations. For television, cinema and video. They're animated movies.
The art style and pretty much everything is the same for both media. Now promise me to use wikipedia in the future and not make up dumbass excuses like "it doesn't help", because it ALWAYS DOES.

Anime is what its called. Animation!, Manga represents Japanese comic books which are usually made off a game serie, Anime or book, or are just a story on themselves. You read them the 'Japanese way' from right top to bottom left. start in the back. If you have a translated version ofcourse.
But the style is fairly the same, though Manga usually has had more attention to the drawings or some nice humor added to it. Great stories can be told in a small Manga book.

More people should read manga. I can name a dozen people on this forum who would become die-hard Battle Angel Alita fanboys if they ever could get their hands on it.

Eww. Battle Angel Altia? I stick to the manga that turned into animes. I liked "Battle Royale". That was just so fucking nuts. Probably too much sex and violence for anyone on the forum here, though.

Battle Angel Alita is fucking WONDERFUL and if you say something else without having read atleast 4-5 of the books i will EAT YOUR FACE.
It's awesome cyberpunk epicness with an unpredictable story, great art (after the first few books), and.. yeah. Mmh.

I've yet to read the original volumes of "Akira", which is something i'd really like to do.
