Popularity of Anime in the West

| Just how popular do you think anime would be in the West if Toonami wasn't a thing?

For me and a bunch of other people I know, Toonami played a big role in getting us into anime.


| West isn't only north america

Shhh
Don't.


| Guess anime isn't as popular in other Western countries as it is in the US, but the large portion of US fans played a role in forming weebs in other countries yeah?


| I want to know the weeb ratio of France and compare it to USA's


| Don't even know what toonami is, but my first experience of anime was from animax


| >>682673 Yo, I still remember waking up in midnight just to watch inuyasha. Good times


| For me and a bunch of other people, gg, commie, and horrible played a big role in getting us into anime


| Also.. GlobalTV (local tv channel)
:^))))


| As a young g/a/l, I woke up early and stayed up late to watch japanimation, so Toonami was great because it meant I could get some sleep.


| Often I open Twitter to just see a bunch of cringetard "weeb" puritans complaining about anime, treating it as if it should conform to their Western beliefs.

>Uzaki-chan bad bc breasts
>HeroAca bad bc body types
>Goblin Slayer bad bc ep1 has rape
>Ishokoku Reviewers bad bc porn

Ofc this doesnt mean every anime fan in the West is like this, but this is just a good indication of how widespread anime actually is if the Twitter Council tries to "cancel" anything about it daily.

k. well write about it on your blog instead of over here

Another sub-90 IQ individual trying to force his politial believes down our troaths.

If you want to complain about twitter users or american politics then do that elsewhere. Not in anime threads.


| France is full of weebs iirc. Plenty of French animation borrows particular elements from anime.


| >>682901 aint his fault he goes on twitter lmao


| >>682815 I'd argue they aren't fans most people who complain about that sort of thing don't like the medium anyway


| When I was younger I saw a few episodes on toonami but it never sparked my interest at the time

My interest seems sort of reversed, a speedrunner I watched on twitch played project diva, at first I was just impressed by the difficulty, then I was listening to the songs on YouTube, then started playing that and other anime games and finally in about 2017 started actually watching stuff


| "Konichiwa Sempai please notice me, i collect katanas and swords, I'm a weabo"...

| I get where >>682815 is coming from. even though majority of the SJWs trying to fuck with anime arent going to be consuming the media it still is a fair sorta way of assessment on how popular anime has become as a whole.

Yeah, my first exposure to anime was definitely the afternoon TV programme which played Doraemon, Pokemon, Beyblade and Bakugan, just to name a few off the top of my head.
