The origional manga of "Saiyuki" doesn't give the full back story of Goku, just from where Sanzo picks him up.\n\nI'm fairly certain that that's in the third manga series (Saiyuki Gaiden?) which is set LONG before the origional series.

tsubasa chronicles or chronicles of the wings is a totally diff. story even though it has characters from other animes that clamp made that features their future selves but this does not go in to the story line of the other animes evn though it may look like it. the only anime that its story line clashes with is xxxholic.

Goku goes Super Sayian whenever he needs more power to defeat his enemy for example. First time he became a SSJ was in the Freiza saga, after he saw Krillin blowing up. This caused extreme anger inside him and something snapped, causing him to go Super Sayian.

Manga, anime catching on \nLocal librarian helps form clubs\nBy Christine Wallgren, Globe Correspondent  |  May 25, 2006\n\nManga and anime , Japanese print comics and cartoon animation, have been around for more than 50 years , but it's only in the last five that they have made it big time into the American mainstream, particularly among teenagers. They seem to be the rage south of Boston as well.\n\nLibrarians in Duxbury and Norwell have responded to public demand by establishing manga and anime clubs that meet regularly. Others in Weymouth , Whitman, and West Bridgewater are building up their graphics collections, including manga comics and anime DVDs, and looking into establishing clubs of their own.\n\nThe local interest is likely to peak when Anime Boston 2006 , the fourth annual anime convention in Boston, is held over the Memorial Day weekend.\n\nFor a long time, interest in manga and anime ``was more of an underground movement," said Lexington librarian Robin Brenner , who has made manga and anime her area of expertise. She has created a website called noflyingnotights.com and is writing a book. She frequently visits libraries to give presentations and help get new clubs off the ground.\n\nTeenagers have often started ``by watching anime, but then found manga is a cheaper habit," Brenner said. ``In the last five years, manga has become really big with teenagers. It's the thing they read."\n\nThe graphic style of the Japanese illustrators is easily recognizable. Characters are simple, drawn with large eyes (the larger the eyes, the more innocent the character), angular faces, and spiked-up hair. According to Brenner, illustrators were strongly influenced by such cartoon characters as Betty Boop and Disney's Mickey Mouse .\n\nWhile manga's beginnings can be traced all the way back to animal scrolls produced by Buddhist monks in the sixth and seventh centuries to poke fun at the Japanese upper class, the father of modern manga and anime is Tezuka Osama , the creator of Astro Boy in the 1950s .\n\nThe backgrounds in these Japanese graphics tend to be very detailed and the storylines complex, compared with their American comic book counterparts.\n\n``There is manga for everybody," Brenner said. ``It's on every subject . . . war, history, religion, your job; and there's an awful lot of romance. It's divided by gender and by age group."\n\nJapanese readers can get through a 300-page manga in about 20 minutes , Brenner said, and publishers put out 30 to 40 magazines monthly, ranging from 300 to 1,000 pages long . Americans are just getting the hang of reading manga. The comics are read back to front and the pages right to left. Getting used to that sequencing system is far easier for younger Western readers than it is for older ones, Brenner said, and it even may be one of manga's attractions for today's teenagers.\n\n``It's like they have a secret language," Brenner said.\n\nThe Duxbury Public Library has had an anime and manga club for nearly five years. Other clubs are fledgling in comparison.\n\nNancy Perry , youth services librarian at Norwell Public Library , said the club there just started meeting last November after a presentation by Brenner. Only about half the club's 20 members are from Norwell .\n\nAt monthly meetings, members settle back and munch on ``pocky" (a Japanese snack of cookie sticks dipped in chocolate) while watching an anime clip. The Japanese treat adds to the atmosphere, organizers say. ``Some draw manga, and they like to share their drawings with the other members at the meetings," Perry said. ``Others write script, and they share that."\n\nThirteen-year-old Tristan Elliott , a Norwell Middle School student and member of the library's anime and manga club, said his interest bloomed from watching Japanese animation on television. Once he could read, he became interested in manga, grabbed by its intricate pl

It was never really explained in the manga. The manga version is a completely different version of the Trigun series.

GANTZ is supposedly the black ball with the alien in it. We are not sure what exactly it's purpose is but based on the anime and manga, there is a coming invasion of aliens, what GANTZ does is makes copies of people that recently died to be his soldiers. The Gangtzers go out and hunt down aliens and capture or eliminate them. That's the basic plot.\n\nAnyway what happened at the end of the anime? It's a bit confusing but it seems that Kurono freed himself at the end from the holds of GANTZ. We really don't know but it can be inferred. After the temple episode the anime and the manga go off in different directions. The manga is currently ongoing while the anime is only 26 eps long.

it differs from series to series.  for some, a one volume graphic novel is an episode, sometimes on chapter is an episode.
