Manga (漫画 Manga^?) are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century.^[1] They have a very long and complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art.^[2]

In Japan, people of all ages read manga. The medium includes works in a broad range of genres: action-adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, suspense, detective, horror, sexuality, and business/commerce, among others.^[3] Since the 1950s, manga has steadily become a major part of the Japanese publishing industry

The term manga (kanji: 漫画; hiragana: まんが; katakana: マンガ;  listen (help·info); English /ˈmæŋ.ɡə/ or /ˈmɑːŋ.ɡə/) is a Japanese word referring both to comics and cartooning. "Manga" as a term used outside Japan refers specifically to comics originally published in Japan

Manga-influenced comics, among original works, exist in other parts of the world, particularly in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan("manhua"), and South Korea ("manhwa").^[14][15] In France, "la nouvelle manga" has developed as a form of bande dessinéecomics drawn in styles influenced by manga. There are also OEL manga in America too.

We watched , and loved a plenty of Anime movies and series , and its paper version the Manga , well we find it catchy and epic in all extensions that exist , so we have to take a look at the mens behind these pieces of art , something like the legendary Studio Ghibli , aind its founders .. 
So , Studio Ghibli, Inc. is a Japanese animation film studio based in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan.^[1] The studio is best known for its anime feature films, and has also produced several short films, television commercials, and one television film. It was founded in June 1985 after the success of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), Eight of Studio Ghibli's films are among the 15 highest-grossing anime films made in Japan, with Spirited Away (2001) being the highest, grossing over $274 million worldwide.

   The music used in a show. This includes background music, mood music, incidental music and opening and ending theme music. For longer TV series, there is often too much music to release on a single CD, so several OSTs will be released (often called OST1, OST2, etc.)

Typically, due to time restrictions, shows only use a portion of any particular piece of music, however the OST generally will contain the entire piece, giving fans an opportunity to listen to the music in its entirety.

Theme Music occurs either as Opening Theme (OP) or Ending Theme (ED). These are songs or music that occur while the opening or ending credits are rolling, and which serve to set a mood for the anime. Though they are sometimes not written originally for the anime, they tend to become strongly associated with it in the public mind.

Image Albums contain music composed on the basis of screenplay, long before anime production begins. The composer reads through the outline of the story, and composes music based on his / her feelings and imagination. Many scores from Image Albums will be incorporated into OST after being revised to match the animation.

Anime OSTs and Image Albums have long been heavily bootlegged. Up until recently, very few OSTs were licensed in North America, and imports from Japan are quite expensive. Demand, resulting from the growing popularity of anime, and the lack of a legitimate and affordable supply, resulted in a market that was very attractive and open to bootlegging

Like any type of cinematic creations , many artists had made a remarquable work with a monumental soundtracks and being a part of some of the most successful anime movies like the outstanding Joe Hisaishi , Yoko Kanno , Satoshi Takebe ...
