The cartoons are very important in my life. When I was a child, I saw all day cartoons, especially
Japanese cartoons, because there were more violent with lot scenes of action
and the histories are funnier than American cartoons. My favorite Japanese anime
(In Japan the cartoons are called animes and the comics called manga) was Slam
Dunk, because the protagonist Hanamishi Sakuragi was very ridiculous and rebel.
He was rejected for different women fifty times in two years, it was hilarious.
He enter to study to Shohoku institute and meet Haruko, he felt in love, AGAIN,
and try to conquer her join him to basketball team of the school.
When I was younger the internet was slow, so I can’t
download the animes, so I have to seen in television, especially in two
channels: Chilevision, and ETC TV. I always frustrated, because, I can’t see
the final of this animes, except with Dragon Ball GT. For example I saw five times Slam Dunk, with
the hope that the stories continues, but neither. Later, when I was a teenager I’ll
found out, that the anime was cancelled in japan and if I knew the end of the
anime I had to read the manga. Because in japan, all the animes were manga
first.
The mangas are a different world than anime,
because are more explicit and less censured in contents. For example in the
Manga Great Teacher Onizuka, we can see the protagonist using drugs and try to
take advantage of young girls, but in the anime he didn’t use drugs and he was a regular boy with the
girls. That’s sounds rough, buts its very fun and you laugh a lot.

I don't know so much about japanese audiovisual culture, but now that you mention it I'm interested on manga and anime.. Thanks for your post!
