Batman Quiz: Bruce Wayne, Gotham City and His Enemies
Bruce Wayne, Gotham City, Alfred, the Joker: test your knowledge of Batman, his origins, his allies, his enemies and his film adaptations.
Great manga, mangaka, animation studios and Japanese culture
The Manga & anime theme dives into Japanese comics and animation, from the work of Osamu Tezuka and Astro Boy to series that conquered the world such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Attack on Titan and Death Note. It looks at mangaka, prepublication magazines like Weekly Shōnen Jump, the shōnen, shōjo, seinen and josei genres, and the history of studios, Ghibli among them.
The questions also touch on Japanese culture linked to these works: vocabulary like otaku, kawaii or tankōbon, reading direction, cosplay. These manga and anime quizzes are free, split into five levels from very easy to expert, and each answer is followed by an explanation so you discover new titles and authors.

Japanese is traditionally written in columns read from top to bottom, starting on the right. A manga therefore opens at what would be the last page of a Western book, and the panels are followed from right to left. Translated editions usually keep this Japanese reading direction.
Studio Ghibli was founded in 1985 in Japan, notably by the directors Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. It is behind animated films such as My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.
