Definition
动画 (dòng huà) refers specifically to animation—moving images, as in films or shows. Its key contrast is with 漫画 (màn huà), which are static comic strips or graphic novels. 卡通 (kǎ tōng) is a loanword that can mean 'cartoon' in either form, while 动漫 (dòng màn) is an umbrella term for anime and manga as a combined culture.
