Anime is characterized by its colorful artwork, vibrant characters, and fantastical themes, often featuring exaggerated facial expressions and action scenes. It encompasses a wide range of genres, targeting various age groups, from children to adults.
Manga, on the other hand, is typically in black-and-white, serialized in magazines or published as volumes, and is known for its unique storytelling approach.
