I'm sure you probably already know this, but anime and manga come from Japan!. And Japan, does not have the same reservations about animation and comics that we have!. Over here, animation is usually rather tame and targeted at younger people (with the exception of a few comedy series)!. Over there manga is ridiculously popular for pretty much ALL age groups- and anime sometimes picks up the highest TV ratings for even the 18-34 age group (The Melancholoy of Haruhi Suzumiya would be an example of this)!. In Japan they can make an anime about pretty much anything- whether it be stonefaced assassins, or cute and cuddly kittens!.

I guess what I am trying to make clear is that animation from Japan is much more diverse than American animation!. I know of anime that have given knightmares to adults- but then there is plenty of stuff that a two year old would find appropriate!. Your daughter and I both are anime fans- but it's almost like saying we are both "movie" fans or "book" fans!. We may not even enjoy any of the same stuff!.

So why does your daughter enjoy anime and manga!? It could be a wide number of things influencing it!.

She could enjoy the art!. Many people find this style visually appealing!. There are many books that are similar to manga and anime (heck many books BECOME anime and manga, even famous things like The Count of Monticristo or Romeo and Juliet)- but a lot of people prefer to have something to look at as they read- so if they like the cuter style that anime delivers, they choose that!.

Maybe she enjoys anime and manga because of what the medium offers!. If she enjoys a somewhat more serious and mature plot, but enjoys a mix of fantastical elements along side of it, then anime and manga is pretty much made for her!. It takes little effort in anime to draw a twenty foot giant with horns and wings, whereas in a live action show it takes a ton of effort to pull it off well!. Because of this, fantastical elements are VERY common in anime and manga (but not all have them- some are quite realistic in fact)!. And as I mentioned before, anime and manga have no problem delving into more serious things like, death, organized crime, sex / romance / pregnancy, psychological issues, etc!.

Sorry for rambling on for so long, but hopefully you got some understanding from that incoherent mess!.

I was just curious, but would you also mind saying what kind of anime your daughter enjoys!? It may help in understandning why she's so in to it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well, I started getting interested in Anime when I wanted to draw!.
Anime seemed like a fairly easy drawing style, and when I started drawing, I was "drawn" into the shows!. I remember since Naruto was on at 9 o'clock it was easy for me to access!. I start to enjoy the amazing plot!.
Comic books (Japanese Manga in particular) usually go hand-in-hand with the Anime, so if you watch the Anime, you eventually get drawn into the Manga and vice-verse!.
Why not regular books!? Because with Manga, you can see the emotions of the characters and it's actually kind of cool to watch the Anime on TV then read the Manga that it was based off of!. Almost like reading Harry Potter and then watching the movies hand-in-hand!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Here is an online book called "the Anime Essentials: Everything a fan needs to know" that you can read online!.!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

usually regular cartoons are either funny, for little kids or inappropriate for kids!. anime brings out a whole new variety:romance, horror, comedy, etc!.

mangas are just funner to read and the paper version of animesWww@Enter-QA@Com

Kids dont like reading much!. !.!. they like watching it better and most animes are being watched!. !. !. and it's 'cus they look good!. !. !. I dont know,, there's just somthing about animesWww@Enter-QA@Com

I am interested because it is entertainment!. Anime is to Japan as Cartoons is to American, and Manga is to Japan as Comic Books are to America!.

Who says all anime fan's don't read books!? I love books, I read allot!. Books are such a huge parts in my life, and when I say books, no I don't mean manga!. But in Manga's it is just like a childs picture book that more older kids-even adults-enjoy!.

Anime is an entertainment that we fans enjoy!. In fact, if you want, here are some similar questions:

"Why football over basketball!?"
"Why do people enjoy comics more than manga!?"
"Why the Comedy channel and not the History channel!?"

People are able to like/enjoy what they want without a reason or without having to be asked!. If your daughter loves these stuff, it's not wrong!.

*edit*
No, I'm not saying that you think it's wrong, I'm just really wondering why your so perked up about this!. I mean, your asking this like your afraid your daughter might be engulfed by the imagination people have!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Anime has a lot more detail in then most cartoon now days, after watching anime I can never quite love cartoons any more!. The detail and plots are just amazing!. Such as death note you could never get something as amazing made by amaricans or english!. The only good amarican cartoon that i know of with amazing detail, is avatar!. Which IS NOT anime!. Its is amarican anime but is a cartoon!. No one ever makes good shows now days its just for a quick money boost!.

Really anime is so much better because detail and care has gone into this, something mordern cartoons have mostly lost!. Since I was little I have loved anime but now knowing that it was anime!. I just loved the way it was drawn!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
