= Anime Culture =

Language
Anime and Manga is originally from Japan, so the language it's in is Japanese and is read right to left. The anime can be subbed or dubbed in many different languages, and manga also gets translated. Now manga can come from other countries as well. There is a type of manga called manhwa from Korea.

Social Stratification
In some manga and anime there are different social levels. There are vagabonds, samurai, kings, etc. They are typically shonen manga and show a lot of battles with sword fighting, or they have futuristic anime where they have robotic suits they can use to fight with. In these anime there are typically kings who rule over Japan.

Gender roles
In a lot of the shonen manga (boy's manga) the men tend to have more importance and are stronger in battles than females in older manga. But in recent years this has changed and in some manga they make it so men and women can be equally strong.

Sexual permissiveness/restrictiveness
In Japan they aren't as open about homosexuality as in America, but there is are certain genre that focus on homosexual relationships called yaoi (male) and yuri (female). There is a city in Japan that is all about otaku culture called Akihabara. It has anime, gaming, manga, cosplay, and electronics. In Akihabara they also have a lot of stores dedicated to hentai.

Family Structure
In anime they sometimes like to focus on family. They also like to have uplifting friendships and family bonds.

Use of art
Anime itself is considered a form of art because it is drawn and animated. Also every anime has a musical opening and ending. The art style for anime and manga can vary from anime to anime. Manga is drawn on paper most of the time, but recently there have been more artists that are starting to draw them digitally rather than traditional.

Use of sports, games, entertainment, etc.
Anime and manga are forms of entertainment. There are different genres just like any other show. They have anime dedicated to all different kinds of sports, horror, comedy, slice of life, etc. In sports anime they will typically follow a certain team as they grow and get better in their games. It will mainly focus on the sport itself but they also focus on the relationship with the teammates. Another form of entertainment in is cosplay. Cosplay is where people will dress up as their favorite characters. When they dress up like this they are usually going to an anime convention. An anime convention is a gathering which mostly focuses on anime, manga, and Japanese culture. These events typically last a couple days and have a variety of activities and panels for people to explore. Cosplay can also be used if an anime gets turned into a live action film.
