Manga is officially considered an art style. For quite some time anime was actually called "Manga Eiga" (TV Manga), but the word anime was adopted later, likely derived from the English word "animation".
While both Manga and Anime both originated in Japan, just like any artstyle, outside artists can adopt the style regardless their own origins. Thusly, anime can be created outside Japan's sphere of influence, just so long as it adheres to the characteristics that define the form.
