Terminology

Anime: Japanese cartoons that contain 12 episodes in each season. Sometimes the show may extend or make prologues to the main characters' storylines.

Manga: Japanese comic books that vary in length. They give an in depth storyline to series that may have an anime. Most of the times, mangas are way ahead of the anime, so be cautious when reading the manga to your favorite anime. They are read from back to front and right to left.

Manhwa: Korean comic books that are read in a similar style to American books.

Smut: Sexually explicit content. Shows a lot of titties and sexual scenes like rape, gang bangs, sex, etc. Just think of an American romance novel and give it pictures. Then take out the political correctiveness of American culture and society and BAM!, you have smut.

Romance: If you've watched a romantic movie, or have been in or seen relationships, I don't need to define this,

Ecchi: Skimpy outfits, sexual puns, forceful grabbing, extra jiggly titties and ass, and semi nudities. That may not cover it all, (or not, pardon the pun) but you should get the picture.

Harem: Yes. Lots of women (and men!) falling in love with the main character (MC for short) and the MC falling in love with all of them. Decisions not needed here.

Adult: Mostly adult situations that do not have the MCs in high school, junior, or middle school. Sometimes college, but a lot of the times, they already of jobs.

Gender Bender: This is when the MC looks or acts like the gender opposite of what they were born as and their counter part still treats them like their birth gender.

J/K Dorama: This is the Japanese and Korean version of a soap opera. The main differences are that they actually end. No "One Life to Live" for over 20 years kinda of dramas. The second is that the endings can end unhappily. I've cried to many doramas over the years.

Live Action: This is when they take an anime/manga and use real people instead of animation. The result is not always good (take Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon).

I hope this explained a lot, if not, please drop a comment. If you feel that I have left something out, again, drop a comment.

See you next time!
