Manga and anime often confuse people
because the two entertainment formats are closely related to each other. Manga
refers to drawn and read image stories; anime refers animation and is shown on
television. Furthermore, there are 3 major differences in terms of artistic
vision, length of stories and production.
Manga is original works of hand
drawing with frame of black and white pictures, but some of them are in color. According
to DifferenceBetween.info, manga book may not be always published; it can be
created everywhere by an individual person who has passion about art and
writing. The story can be told through the plot of story lines and multiple
issues' conflicts to each other in each chapter. That develops the main issue,
which can take place through every book.

One of the best manga books I would
recommend to everyone who is interested in Sherlock Holmes is Detective Conan,
as you see the picture on left. This manga comic book is almost reaching the
number of 1000 chapters. Readers would be attracted by serious murder cases and
mystery stories to be solved. Detective Conan is also animated in the very first chapters, but I believe it works best as manga because I can feel a principle and deduction in every cases. Also manga readers can catch up the latest chapter when it come out right away.
In contrast, anime is more
complicated. It is animated as television series; it tends to be more moving
and colorful. According to DifferenceBetween.info, anime production involve to
studios, directors, artists, voice actors and all among people working on it.
By giving a large number of businesslike professionals, anime tends to be more
polished. Also, the storylines of anime could be delayed because it requires
the large number of people to give out creative ideas; but it uses the best
idea. While manga can be done inexpensively, anime requires the big budget with the best preparation flowing by long time to work on an episode. Sometimes, it takes much longer by using multiple production groups, which results in quality between episodes.

One Piece is the best anime series I
would recommend to everyone, as the picture on right. This is also long series,
which reaches over 800 volumes. This anime series basically is about the young boy and his friends' adventure into the ocean and exploring for treasures in order to
become the Pirate King. It is probably enjoyed very well for anime watchers because of those fantasy action and colorful graphic movement.
Thus, manga and anime are very
similar, but they are quite different. Manga tend to be run by an individual
author. It also has more steady storylines. Likewise, anime tend to be more
polished and expensive in production, but the storylines are often less steady
than manga. Overall, they are both very enjoyable in their own ways.
