I heard that 'anime' is japanese animation, and to call it an anime, it has to be made in Japan. And 'manga' is a japanese comic, but some comics made in countries other than Japan are still called manga. Why?

there are plenty of american animes. anime is just the style it's drwan. and it's japanese animation due to the fact that 1. most anime are from japan, 2. it is the point of origin for that particular drawing style. the same goes for manga.

Anime and Manga are pretty much strictly Japaneses, both of them. Although, it is possible to use the Japanese "Style" of manga and anime, and it would be acceptable to call it manga and anime. But, comics made in other countries aside from Japanese are drawn in the Japanese style of manga, but is not true manga. Because it uses the style, it is called manga, even though that isn't entirely correct. It's like the show Avatar; The Last Airebender. It was drawn in the anime style, but can't truly be called anime. Manga is no different, but because "comic" reminds most people of superheros or humorous jokes, they prefer to call it manga.

Kind of agree people are more likely to read manga from other countries other than Japan because the concept doesn't change (except that it doesn't read from right to left). Animes from other countries kind of lose that anime feeling once it leaves Japan. It just doesn't feel like the anime you're use to.

Just to set the record straight many Japanese production studios contract out to Korea to do a lot of their anime work. So, to be perfectly correct, Japanese anime does get made in other countries. However, manga in Korea is called Manhwa. Purist and otaku demand the real deal and generally pass on "non-anime" series. Avatar was so well done that it just goes to show that there can be an exception to every rule.
