Am I the only one who strongly dislikes the term "animanga"?

In particular when refering to anime and manga fandom where the sources are unrelated. But also where the sources are related, because unless you know something about that particular canon, it's a risky business to equate an anime with the manga of the same name when you do your meta.

But it basically boils down to this sense of unease I have. I'm not in any darn animanga fandom kthx!
I'm a manga fan and there are a bunch of anime I like. I know loads of people who are anime fans, with a few handpicked manga that they like. It's not like we talk about moviebook fans, or even comicartoon enthusiasts.

That is an awkward term. Though I might be showing my age by saying that I dislike the term "japanimation" even more! We don't call things disanimation or amerianimation over here! Sometimes it is very strange how things are labeled.

Ah. yeah, I don't much like that one either. But at least I haven't seen it in use lately
