Anime and Manga Evolution

Anime and manga, originating from Japan, have rapidly evolved since the early 20th century. Manga began as simple illustrated stories but gained popularity post-World War II, leading to diverse genres and styles. In the 1960s, Osamu Tezuka, known as the "God of Manga," revolutionized storytelling and character design. Anime emerged as animated adaptations, gaining global recognition in the 1980s and 1990s with series like "Dragon Ball" and "Sailor Moon." Today, both forms are celebrated worldwide, influencing various art styles and storytelling methods, while digital platforms expand access and creativity in the medium.
