This is a problem that has bothering me ever since I left my 'weaboo' faze from late elementary school and early high-school. Why exactly do you call it anime or manga? Why not just comics and cartoons, because that is exactly what they are. Why does Japan get their own special name? We don't call Italian cartoons animazione (Sorry if that's wrong, I haven't tried speaking it since early grade school), so what make Japan an exception? Also, how come people insist on saying that it is its own medium? As stated before, it's just a cartoon, and last time I checked, there is an established medium for it already.
I'm not trying to generalize, or be ignorant, I'm just curious and this seemed like the proper board to ask.
