What is the difference between Manga and Anime?

Mushishi or Mushi-shi (蟲師, Mushishi or Mushi-shi?) is a historical fantasy manga and anime series. The original manga is drawn by Yuki Yoshiyama (吉山友紀, Yoshiyama Yuki?) under the pen name Yuki Urushibara (漆原友紀, Urushibara Yuki?). It is ongoing; as of March 2006, 35 chapters have appeared in Afternoon magazine, and seven volumes of the compiled manga have been released in Japan. The anime series, directed by Hiroshi Nagahama, had 26 episodes and completed its run on June 18, 2006. The series implemented several unusual techniques, including disjointed storyline and no official ending theme or animation. At the 2006 San Diego Comic Con, representatives from Del Rey Manga announced that they had licensed the manga series for release in the English language. The anime series has proportedly been licensed by Funimation after a "cease and desist" letter was sent to several fansub hosting sites on October 10.
