Welcome to the Anime and manga WikiProject, a group of Wikipedia editors that aims to create, expand, improve, and standardize anime- and manga-related articles.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on our discussion page.

Topics we cover
The project's scope includes all media, persons, organizations and fandom substantially related to anime and manga franchises:
 * Anime, including OVAs and animated films;
 * Manga and light novels, including serials (such as Young King OURs), and collected volumes;
 * Media belonging to the same franchises as the above, including video games; visual novels; audio dramas, songs, and soundtracks; and live action versions, stage shows, and musicals (such as Tenimyu);
 * Notable characters, episodes, issues, and merchandise related to the above media;
 * Directors (such as Hayao Miyazaki), mangaka (such as Rumiko Takahashi), and other notable production staff;
 * Voice actors, Japanese or international, whose principal work is in anime and whose roles are generally notable (such as Takehito Koyasu or Jessica Calvello);
 * Japanese publishers and production studios (such as Shonen Gahosha and Gainax) and international distributors (such as ADV Films and Funimation Entertainment);
 * Composers, bands, and musicians based primarily around anime or manga;
 * Japanese or international publications and websites meant for review and commentary of anime or manga (such as Newtype or Anime News Network);
 * Major aspects of fandom, including conventions (such as Comiket or Otakon), terminology and concepts (such as "otaku"), and other practices.

Topics we do not cover
Although its scope is broad, the project maintains an essential focus on anime, manga and related merchandise originally meant for consumption in Japan. This does not include works with incidental or minor association, such as:
 * Animated or printed works produced for consumption outside of Japan that nevertheless draw on or are similar to Japanese media in terms of content or form (such as Chinese animation, Korean animation, manhwa, manhua and Western manga-styled comics such as Gothic Sports and Peach Fuzz);
 * Media, particularly video games, in which anime or manga characters make incidental or out-of-context appearances;
 * Pre-modern manga (such as Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga), their artists, and other related elements;
 * Composers, bands and musicians with incidental anime or manga association (such as having only a few of their songs sung for an anime opening);
 * Articles on compilation albums with only a few anime- or manga-related tracks.
