Line #78 Main/FilmComic


1	Aka anime comic, Cine-Manga (a trademark of Tokyopop), Ani-Manga, visual manga.
2
3	In this genre, the artist adapts animation to the comic-book medium by taking actual frames from the cartoon and adding word balloons. Often made obvious by the [[ConspicuouslyLightPatch difference between characters and background]].
4
5	This seems to be originally an anime/manga thing that has spread to the West. It is not known how closely related to ''[[PhotoComic fumetti]]'' this phenomenon might be.
6
7	Especially funny if the anime was a manga first. RecursiveAdaptation here we go!
8
9	Apparently this medium experienced a brief boom in the United States circa 1970, when it was known as "Film Novels", "Fotonovels" or "Photostories", but faded when home video became popular because it was marketed as a substitute for being able to watch the actual movie.

11	See also ComicBookAdaptation.

13	For photographic comics that aren't based on anything, see PhotoComic.
