This was really informative. I knew people made fun of the way anime characters talked, but I didn't know that came from Speed Racer. That makes so much sense now. The first anime I watched as a kid was Pokémon and Naruto Shippuden on Dinsy XD. Then I branched into other genres as I began my high school years. Some of my favorite are Violet Evergarden for its beautiful animation and Millionaire Detective for its comedy and action.
March 1st, the writer of Dragon Ball Z, Akira Toriyama, passed away. I’m glad to see DBZ be a more prominent part of your video. Akira Toriyama helped influence the writers of Naruto and One Piece, two of the more recent popular anime.
anime was the only close friend ive had growing up. It was always there and as I got older i learned more of the philosophies behind certain animes. It even inspired me to draw, create art and even create my own manga. People clown on anime without the realization that it has inpacted so many people. Look at Akira's death for an example (rest in peace). The media for the most part went into shambles once the word got out which goes to show how much of an impact anime can have on folks.
Ngl went down a rabbit hole though the shorts and some of the vids. It's been a long time since I have found a really chill, funny, and cozy content creator on here. Keep up the great work on the vids. It's honestly crazy how fast anime blew up, especially within the last 10 years. Got into anime myself in the mid to late 90s with Sailor Moon and Dragonball when i was like 4-5. Ah, memories.
I was really into anime throughout middle and high school (class of 09). I didn’t have a TV when I went to college, so I dropped all TV including anime. I didn’t really think about it for over a decade but now, bc of easy access through Crunchyroll and Netflix, I watch anime all the time. Idk about others, but my personal anime renaissance happened when I started watching K-dramas, then reading web comics/manhwa, and then watching anime adaptations of those manhwas. Looking back, it feels like it was meant to be all along. Lol, now I gotta catch up on all the anime I missed during my “hiatus!”
I became an anime fan in the 80's thanks to Robotech. There was no distribution except via pirated VHS copies; anime clubs would have occasional (in our case, yearly) "dubbing parties" where everyone brought their own vcr and blank tapes, hooked into the single source player, each one daisy-chained to the output of the previous, so everyone could record the set of programs played that day. There was a strict hierarchy, to insure best possible signal quality down the line for as many people as possible. There was no 5-wire RGB or S-Video cabling back then, at least not in consumer electronics. Composite (Red/White/Yellow) were closest to the source, gold cables before regular, then coax antenna, again gold before regular. When all else was equal, order of arrival to the meeting determined where your machine got slotted in. Crazy fun times.
Urusei Yatsura. Ranma 1/2. The original Bubblegum Crisis. Wings of Honeamise. Appleseed OVA (1988). Akira, of course. Precursors of GitS like "Black Magic Mario: M-66"
I got into anime around 2010 as a kid and growing up it was still considered weird and niche, at least in my area and then maybe five years ago I started noticing anime merch at Walmart and now it feels like there’s no more stigma behind it as shows like chainsaw man and oshi no ko dominate the charts and the local Book stores manga section gets bigger as their comics section gets smaller. On one hand I’m glad it’s as popular and accessible as it is now but part of me wishes it was still that niche little thing only the weird kids at school like myself knew about. I consider myself a seasons veteran when it comes to this medium so I’m a little more use to it all, I can’t imagine how amazing it must be to be new to the scene watching all the popular shows and maybe discovering some old classics like gurran Lagan or cowboy bebop.
Ikr crazy to see how it's accepted now , I am glad this medium deserves all the success it gets , You had slam dunk inazuma eleven naruto hunter x hunter etc these were all classics in my childhood but the og has to be astroy boy for sure , It's always fun to see people's experiences with your hobby
Between reduced stigma and often superior storytelling... there has never been a better time to give it a try. :) Manga has overtaken American comics in the US.
I just can’t stand some anime fans, it’s like people get into it and then they litterally can’t watch anything else with out criticizing how much better it could have been just because it wasn’t written or adapted to be an anime, which is why I can’t get into it. Japanese story telling is just soooo different, I want to enjoy my marvel movies and Hollywood movies without criticism because it’s not animated or the story telling isn’t dark enough.
@@devinallen1320 I don’t worry about what other anime fans want. I either like a show or I don’t. If it doesn’t interest me after 2 episodes I’m not gonna keep watching it. That is true for anything. It’s rare I will try again. Like Breaking Bad took me 4 years to finally get past the 4th episode and I ended up loving that show.
@@devinallen1320Eh, I still enjoy regular movies, I just get frustrated with rehashed plots, sequels that didn’t need to be made, live action remakes, and executives thinking that movie making should be over-budgeted “safe” options that are usually one of these three. Anime is where I go for something different. It not that that the usual stuff is bad it’s just like going outside when you feel like it’s too stuffy inside.
I watched Speedracer as a kid in the 70s and Battle of the Planets, that hooked me. I still watch anime, go to conventions and stayed in Akihabara for a week and made sure to do the Your Name pilgrimage... It's just so well done..
Well done Tawny! Tobor the 8th man was a huge hit for me when I was kid in NYC. I watched that show ever chance I got. Simba too. I came over to RUclips after seeing you on Instagram. Wishing you all the Best!
No Star Blazers/Yamato? No mention of the years where the C/FO and local anime clubs like mine did anime showings at conventions through the 80s and into the 90s? Where our efforts to bring the artform into wider acceptance eventually got the studios to pay attention? And then how we're now the old farts who are told we have no place at conventions or events... yeah, the format doesn't really deal with that level of ironic despair.
My first experience into Anime was sometime in the mid 90s when three Anime movies came on back to back. They were The Lensman, Vampire Hunter D, and Robot Carnival. It has been 30 years since I’ve seen those titles.
What you you described at the outset is alot like how I remember being exposed to The Last Unicorn as a child. Probably my first experience with anime (unless I actually found Pokemon first).
I have watched anime mot if my life, but I have to say that I also like USA's animations from the 60's such as Jonny Quest, Birdman, Dino-Boy, Namor, etc. They are very appealing to me both story-wise and animation-wise.
My introduction came from my dad traveling to Japan for business in the 80's along with Americanized shows like Robotech and Voltron. My dad would bring back stuff from his trips. Unico is a classic. It's surprisingly weird and sad, especially knowing it was made by Sanrio. Hello Kitty even makes a cameo.
I'm grateful to be introduced to anime as a kid watching animes every Sunday morning like most 90s Indonesians! If I didn't watch it then, I doubt I'll be a weeb!
Subconsciously moves his finger towards his nose. What about Star Blazers, Battle of the Planets, and Tranzor Z. Those were in my lineup on the indie TV channel I watched in the 70s, first thing in the morning.
I also grew up with occasional animated movies from the Soviet bloc and China, often adaptations of fairy tales or mythologies like Hanuman the monkey god…some where truly magical and often confounding…
Man, between that and the 4kids dub of DBZ, I didn't give anime any respect until college. Looking back, I'm almost impressed by the no breath, no f*cks delivery of the Speed dub.
I was born in 1989 with autism i got into anime in my 1st year of elementary school li remember i got up 6 and when sailor moon came on that was reason i got hooked it since I even have some anime merchandise to and i had dreams about it
What brought me into the fold was Star Blazers (Space Cruiser Yamato or Space Battleship Yamato) and G-Force (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman) in the 1970's. They still hold special places to me. I don't love all anime but I do certainly love anime.
The rise of anime in the west has two main streams, the fans and the general public. The fan based popularity of anime was closer to a slow and stream growth, which is what, drove the slow and steady growth in availability of anime in the west. It did vary by country, with Italy being ground zero in Europe in the 1990's and Germany following well behind. Today Germany is probably ground zero in Europe. However the fan based growth is not what most people think of when they think of the rapid growth of anime, it’s the public based growth. This video provided a good overview of the up’s and downs of anime in the public arena, but even I am surprised at the rapid growth of anime since the 2016’s. My guess this is a combination of more content coming out of Japan, greater availability through streaming and the decline of quality entertainment content in the west. This seems to be following the comic/manga trend, although I suspect it’s a decade behind. I should point out the first Heavy Metal movie was a classic work of art and it came from the west in 1981, which was well before Lain in 1998 and Ghost in the Shell in 1995. It was aimed at adults, was brilliant and went nowhere in the west. There was a much poorer quality sequel, which was watchable, but their Heavy Metal animation died. The western entertainment industry was not interested in this type of edgy content back in the 1980’s, even though there was a massive body of work available for them to adapt. I suspect this is a result of the way entertainment is created. In the west executive decide what to create and what to reject. The public better like what they are providing because there is no alternative. In Japan after the late 1980’s the content which was created was driven by what the public wanted and the executives simply oversaw the process of providing it. Today the western way of creating entertainment has an alternative, anime and manga.
Mazinger Z was the first Anime I saw in the 70s and it just evolved from their. In the 80s, I didn't know anyone who liked Anime. I used to go to comic book conventions and purchase copied VHS tapes of various Anime. Since it was illegal, the trade would occur in a parking lot as if we were dealing drugs. Manga wasn't even available in English but I did see them in a bookstore in Little Tokyo, in Japanese of course, which was why I decided to learn the language. Oh have times have changed. Felt like a waste for a bit until I vacationed in Japan.
I've always loved anime even when I was a small toddler. I always seeked out even the most coolest, violent and even mature themed ones instead of the shows that were intended for children. I'll never forget my first anime when I was 5 or 6 in the 90s! Yes I'm serious, I had clear memories even as a little guy. I remember seeing reruns of Astro Boy, the version where it had technicolor for the first time besides its debut in black and white. Its not my favorite but since then I just couldn't get enough of it. Then that historic Pokemon phenomenon came over, then Gundams, mecha, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Inuyasha and of course Fooly Cooly which changed anime forever on Toonami in the early 2000s. FF7 Advent Children film, and all those trending slice of life and school life comedy animes and Full Metal Panic and Full Metal alchemist in the mid 2000s and so on. Watching anime has always been an amazing journey for me. I never collected figurines, did cosplay or became a cringey weeb/dweeb. I just enjoyed watching anime for all time! Even when I'm much much older, my passion for watching will never go away. Something more amazing always shows up! Enjoy anime for what it is and not get into it because its trendy folks! Watch it for you and only you! ✌️😁
I had a t-shirt that explained it all. WHY ANIME WON: Anime has miniskirted schoolgirls wielding planet-cleaving greatswords. America had a Mouse (Mickey) and a Bunny (Bugs).
That maybe true but anime started off by paying homage to the looney toons and walt disney cartoons. The animation just developed over the years, so if it wasn't for american cartoons, we may not even have anime.
I've been watching anime before I even knew it what it was. Rave Master on Syfy Blue Dragon and Naruto on Cartoon Network Dragon Ball on Nicktoons. I know y'all remember Inuyasha in the mornings before Cartoon Network came back on.
I can't think of a single American cartoon airing right now that anybody I know is actively watching. Even including strangers on the internet, I do not hear about them. All of our shows are low budget live action and they are almost always unsatisfying. Anime doesn't feel like it is as afraid to be crazy, colorful, cute, childish, dramatic, extreme, etc. I think the Manga culture has a lot to do with it. Manga acts as a sort of testing ground for producers to see what's popular. If that manga scene didn't exist, such as in America, producers would feel a lot less confident and far fewer anime would get the green light.
the main difference between American Animation, and Japanese Animation, is the diversity of genres. American animation has limited genres, where as Japanese encompass any and all genres available.
Attack on titan and demon slayer are really the reason why it’s so mainstream now Jjk just put it over the top it’s more popular now than ever especially with one piece on Netflix etc.
Thanks dbz was my first anime which I watch n then Cardcaptor n it went on But I feel really deep into it I mean my obsession with anime really started with naruto which made me into a full Otaku the kind which don't skip ep n read sure dj n all
Manga is very attractive when you just get started with it but honestly after having been exposed to it for a long time you notice the limits of the genre, and even certain points where American animation is better (I'm not American I want to to say it) It's much more out of curiosity that manga are currently popular in the US, but I don't necessarily believe that it's because it's better than the others
Limits of the manga? Like what? There was a time when gore was really popular in the manga scene ... There was torture, grape, violent crime like kidnapping and the horror it brings ... You name it and there was a manga for it .. I even remember the story about YT but for murders and they did it for views so creativity is a must it's quite popular Of course there are still the obvious tame mangas about cuteness and boys having super fights What exactly are the limits you are talking about
Interesting, people in America discovered anime is not just for kids and has different categories for different folks. Western animated series are too broad. These western toons cannot compete with specialized anime shows. The different and unique stories help as well.
I am greatful thatthe stigma around otakus is slowly disappearing.. there is still the notariaty of it around.. but its not as bad as it used to.. now that anime has become ever more mainstream..
I am one of those kids who got Roasted toasted and burnt to a crisp in school because I watched anime. Now those very same haters are sitting over here talking about when's the next episode of Dr Stone coming out😒
Im indian and what started anime for me was doraemon pokemon in my home language i started watching doraemon and pokemon ever sense i was young like 4 years old
Newly viewer. First time subscriber. Awesome content. I can't say I'm an expert but I remember how there were people who would break down the difference between Japanese Manga (not MAGA😂) vs. Anime (not Auntie Mae😂) and how Manga was better & how the rest of the world was watering it down to make Anime. During the 90's there were some anime I was attracted to & some that repelled me. Then by accident late one night & this was before parental locks on things one of the cable channels had anime and I was like cool. Then during the movie to my surprise I learned the birds & the bees. This was the moment I realized anything can be turned into a birds and the bees movie. 😂
Practically everyone I know, my workmates, my cousins, my cousins kids, my personal friends are starting to watch non-american media. Bollywood, Anime, and more. They mostly express a lothing for current tv-series, movies and more. Their complaint is that woke content is turning them off and away.... and JP content isn't woke..... Yet.
@@23Lgirl well look here’s the thing: I’m saying Woke in the sense of not by American values but by Asian Values: there’s always been many Japanese works or anime that criticizes Japan and stuff
i predicted this occurrence to my classs mates in primary school 30 yrs ago. lol. anime will be the media of choice after disney runs out of recycled ideas. lol
I was one of the people who used to watch naruto instead of the twilight made fun of fir watching anime aka cartoon as a teen N now since it's an it thing now being a weeb is cool those who made fun of me hav turn into Otaku themselves n it's lik they rebranded

A story on MTV about Akira got me interested in anime. My first VHS was Macross II Volume 2. Been a fan ever since.

I became an anime fan in the 80's thanks to Robotech. There was no distribution except via pirated VHS copies; anime clubs would have occasional (in our case, yearly) "dubbing parties" where everyone brought their own vcr and blank tapes, hooked into the single source player, each one daisy-chained to the output of the previous, so everyone could record the set of programs played that day. There was a strict hierarchy, to insure best possible signal quality down the line for as many people as possible. There was no 5-wire RGB or S-Video cabling back then, at least not in consumer electronics. Composite (Red/White/Yellow) were closest to the source, gold cables before regular, then coax antenna, again gold before regular. When all else was equal, order of arrival to the meeting determined where your machine got slotted in. Crazy fun times.

Anime in America is more popular now thsn it ever was now a days. Anime movies are shown in theaters more often. Thats cool.
*Don't forget "Star Blazers", "G-Force", in the 80s and "Daft Punk's Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem", in 2003!* 😁

I can't think of a single American cartoon airing right now that anybody I know is actively watching. Even including strangers on the internet, I do not hear about them. All of our shows are low budget live action and they are almost always unsatisfying. Anime doesn't feel like it is as afraid to be crazy, colorful, cute, childish, dramatic, extreme, etc. I think the Manga culture has a lot to do with it. Manga acts as a sort of testing ground for producers to see what's popular. If that manga scene didn't exist, such as in America, producers would feel a lot less confident and far fewer anime would get the green light.
What anime is 6.09? Thanks
what do you normally watch before anime?
the main difference between American Animation, and Japanese Animation, is the diversity of genres.
American animation has limited genres, where as Japanese encompass any and all genres available.
Attack on titan and demon slayer are really the reason why it’s so mainstream now Jjk just put it over the top it’s more popular now than ever especially with one piece on Netflix etc.
Thanks dbz was my first anime which I watch n then Cardcaptor n it went on
But I feel really deep into it I mean my obsession with anime really started with naruto which made me into a full Otaku the kind which don't skip ep n read sure dj n all
Manga is very attractive when you just get started with it but honestly after having been exposed to it for a long time you notice the limits of the genre, and even certain points where American animation is better (I'm not American I want to to say it)
It's much more out of curiosity that manga are currently popular in the US, but I don't necessarily believe that it's because it's better than the others
Limits of the manga? Like what? There was a time when gore was really popular in the manga scene ... There was torture, grape, violent crime like kidnapping and the horror it brings ... You name it and there was a manga for it .. I even remember the story about YT but for murders and they did it for views so creativity is a must it's quite popular
Of course there are still the obvious tame mangas about cuteness and boys having super fights
What exactly are the limits you are talking about
I just love the way artists and animators can express and create their ideas out of nothing and not be held back by the limits of reality
Yea it’s truly incredible to think about
Fiction is one of the coolest parts of life
Interesting, people in America discovered anime is not just for kids and has different categories for different folks. Western animated series are too broad. These western toons cannot compete with specialized anime shows. The different and unique stories help as well.
I am greatful thatthe stigma around otakus is slowly disappearing.. there is still the notariaty of it around.. but its not as bad as it used to.. now that anime has become ever more mainstream..
I’m not so sure I would call America a “highly conservative monoculture” when compared to Japan lol
I am one of those kids who got Roasted toasted and burnt to a crisp in school because I watched anime. Now those very same haters are sitting over here talking about when's the next episode of Dr Stone coming out😒
Im indian and what started anime for me was doraemon pokemon in my home language i started watching doraemon and pokemon ever sense i was young like 4 years old
what anime is 6.04?
It’s from a movie Kid Cudi did! It’s on Netflix and it’s called Enter galactic
Kayne west help out with stronger video
Newly viewer. First time subscriber. Awesome content. I can't say I'm an expert but I remember how there were people who would break down the difference between Japanese Manga (not MAGA😂) vs. Anime (not Auntie Mae😂) and how Manga was better & how the rest of the world was watering it down to make Anime. During the 90's there were some anime I was attracted to & some that repelled me. Then by accident late one night & this was before parental locks on things one of the cable channels had anime and I was like cool. Then during the movie to my surprise I learned the birds & the bees. This was the moment I realized anything can be turned into a birds and the bees movie. 😂
Practically everyone I know, my workmates, my cousins, my cousins kids, my personal friends are starting to watch non-american media. Bollywood, Anime, and more. They mostly express a lothing for current tv-series, movies and more. Their complaint is that woke content is turning them off and away.... and JP content isn't woke..... Yet.
JP content has always been woke but not in the way people in America think of
@@Icarus975 If you think it is woke than you know noting about Japan🤣.
For example Yaoi is not for gay guys it is for fujoshi. Yaoi is mostly a fetish it has noting to do with how gays are treated in Japan.
@@23Lgirl well look here’s the thing: I’m saying Woke in the sense of not by American values but by Asian Values: there’s always been many Japanese works or anime that criticizes Japan and stuff
@@Icarus975 🤡
i predicted this occurrence to my classs mates in primary school 30 yrs ago. lol. anime will be the media of choice after disney runs out of recycled ideas. lol
I was one of the people who used to watch naruto instead of the twilight made fun of fir watching anime aka cartoon as a teen
N now since it's an it thing now being a weeb is cool those who made fun of me hav turn into Otaku themselves n it's lik they rebranded
the drawing style is different looks at the manga and comic drawing just look at the animal or pet drawing on both manga and comic
Its because cartoons have turned woke. And in anime/manga, there is something for all
Manwha:
@@보키더록 its called Manga, Manwa are the Korian ones...
@@victorraulsantivanezrodriguez exactly, Manwha:

My first exposure was Belle and Sébastien. Yes I was born in 1984, I know I'm old.
Mine was Akira born in 1978 i am old to lol
Anime = The Rise and Revolutionary of Japanese Animation Industries.
Some of them where just strange😮
naruto was my first anime!
Classic! 🖤
For the same reason kdramas are so popular these days, western entertainment is mostly garbage these days.
Simply posers and followers no back bone until its popular then well, you know
not just america.. i'm from England and people love anime here too.
Latin America, loving anime since the 1970s
Its simply because western series/films are becoming unwatchable.... Ur welcome
Anime isn't popular in America as far as I'm aware.
Wrong.
@@rocketmanart7964 As far as I'm aware, I'm not.
