Manga is the first thing that is made. the drawings.....

its usually not colored in, and the story is a little bit different then the anime..some places that you can read anime is at:

Anime is the second thing thats made. the episodes/movies style of cartoons. It comes out in Japanese, but you can find Subs to make it make sense. Dubbed version is when the anime's audio is in English (usually, rarely spanish dubbed). I prefer the subbed version of anime because it is the original form of the anime.some places you can watch anime are at:

Answer 9

Manga (pronounced 'Mawnga' or 'Maunga') is a japanese comic book. The reading is still top to bottom, but starts at the left instead of the right.

And anime is a japanese animated show (anime is short for animation). They pretty much always have better graphics and a much better story line than American cartoons.
