Okay, for this time I will shared about public misconception term about this three term. Anime, Manga & Cosplay (Lucky game is still called a game *chuckled*).
A few days ago, one of most popular singer in my country having a birthday party to celebrate her birthday. So she decided to use cosplay theme in her party and she wear Hatsune Miku costume. Then, as we know... media... bla.. bla... bla... use wrong term in their report then they make all the otakus & cosers become mad in social media. The most worst part is what the relationships between Hatsune Miku & Sailormoon? People said Hatsune Miku is Sailormoon and Sailormoon is Hatsune Miku *face palm* Haihhh... How terrible is it?
Okay, to reduce all the otakus & cosers rage. I'll help public how to use right term. Let's start from what is the different between Anime & Cartoon term.
Anime& Cartoon:
Anime is an animation from Japan & it's have so many genre same goes to another dramas or movies. While cartoon is an animation from the rest of the world & same goes to anime, they also have so many genres. To make it's easy I'll show the art between anime & cartoon because their biggest comparison is animation art.
Naruto is one of example for anime
The Adventure Time is one of example for cartoon
Manga & Comic:
Manga, Manhua, Manhwa & comic are different name. Each of this things have own characteristic although the physically it look same. Manga is term for comic from Japan, Manhua is term for comic from China (if I don't mistake, Manhwa is term for comic from Korea (if I don't mistake too...) while comic is term for comic the rest of the world. Actually, its same meaning but the term shows which from they are.
Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) Manga
Garfield Comic
Cosplay:
1 thing I want to remember, stop call cosplay is K-Pop style (it will make me amused so much). Cosplay are really-really wide. We have Japanese character (Anime, manga & game) cosplay, West character (superheroes, cartoon, game & comic character) cosplay & others. K-pop style actually we called it ulzzan
g. Let me mention it again 'ULZZANG'; still don't understand? Googled it. In addition, Cosplay also not about weirdo (Who called it weirdo, I'll called you too noob or dumb. Maybe someone don't understand unique hobby). So if you really-really have some time, googled it & try to understand what the difference between cosplay & ulzzag. (Btw I'm sorry to K-poperz if you think this is sensitive, I just want to correcting people term about cosplay. Especially in my country... It's hard for them to understand what is cosplay.)

Once again, I remind you. Please... don't use wrong term. Think it before you want use the term. Actually this also for media, know & ask people who expert with the term first before said anything will make they do rage face. My intention just to correcting people term; not more than that. I hope they will understand more about this. You also can leave a comment if necessary for more information.
Last words:
I'm sorry if I do any mistake, give wrong information, error in grammar or make other people do rage face or troll face. Back to my intention, I just want correcting public term. Thank you for reading my blog & see you next time :)
