Anime has become commercially profitable in Western countries, as demonstrated by early commercially successful Western adaptations of anime, such as Astro Boy. Early American adaptions in the 1960s made Japan expand into the European market, first with productions aimed at European and Japanese children, such as Heidi, Vicky the Vicking and Barbapapa, which aired in various countries. Particularly Italy, Spain and France grew an interrest into Japan's output, due to its cheap selling price and productive output. Especially Italy imported the most anime outside of Japan.[81] These mass imports influenced an anime popularity in South American, Arabic and German markets.
What made Anime compatible with Italy, Spain and France?
They have superior cultures, much like Glorious Nippon
>>55841181
This is true. I cannot think think of better countries than Japan, Italy, France and Spain.
You have to be a shithead to think otherwise.
>>55841330
We should all aspire to be like them
>>55841131
I said it before. Anime was cheap and Berlusconi owns some important TV channels in Italy and Spain
>>55841131
It's a latin thing, you wouldn't understand.
Anime was already popular in the roman empire, César-sama made it popular desu.
>>55841483
Back then Anime was very attractive to license. It was cheap and ready to go.
Ever since Anime got popular in the US it has been different.
>>55841575
For some reason Asterix was ok in germany, but Speed Racer wasn't.
France and Germany are two opposite cultures when it comes to animation and comics.
>>55841483
Berlusconi owning one single channel in Spain doesn't explain why they aired just as much anime in the channels he didn't own. There was a shitload of anime everywhere, not just tele5.

Because since the 70's, France sell low-coast animes to Japan and broadcast that because France needs more cartoons for childrens, so people like that, so of course France continue to buy that in the 80's and 90's.
Popular anime here were Grendizer ( Goldorak ), Captain Harlock ( Albator le corsaire de l'espace ), Captain Tsubasa ( Olive et Tom), City Hunter ( Nicky Larson ), Hokuto No Ken ( Ken le survivant ), Saint Seiya ( Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque ), and Dragon Ball Z.
but we had terrible dubs because censoring, the worse is for hokuto no ken, but this is an hilarious alien meme dub.

You can't really blame Germany for its shit taste.
Also, you not a real French if you didn't watched Captain Tsubasa.
>>55841906
*Japan sell low-cost animes to France
sorry my english sucks.
>>55841598
You wonder why is getting popular now. Well in Spain anime was somehow popular between girls in the beginning of the millennium and then started to lose popularity until now. It began to be popular between the youth again thanks to youtubers.
>>55841750
It worked for telecinco why wouldn't the rest follow the same formula?
>>55841929
For some reason Captain Tsubasa wasn't that big in Germany. The main critisism is that it was drawn out and too predicatble (Tsubasa team wins too much).
Ganbare Kickers was more popular for some reason, I heard it aired in France too.
>>55841994
Because Telecinco wasn't even the first channel that did it? It all started with the autonomicas, then both telecinco and antena 3 joined the party at the same time. You can't deny anime was a really big part of the childhood of any kid growing between mid/late 80s to mid/late 90s here.
>>55841906
this pretty much is what happened here as well
>>55841850
this is an opening:

Italy number one weeaboo in Europe and the World.
Proud to be an Italian weeaboo. Entire generations ruined but it was worth it.
>>55841750
Spanish TV channels have the custom to imitate, and sometimes outright copy, the formulas of its competency.

Though I have to disagree, THIS is an opening

>>55842144
I thought it was great, it's a great way to teach children the earth is round, given the amount of time they need to run before having a sight on the goal.
It should be aired in America, desu.
>>55841483
the anime wave came way before Berlusconi, on RAI we had anime.
Then our free enterprise system of regional tv channels created a jungle of pirate broadcasts.
We have had a pirate broadcast of Gundam too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yF7XH54QzI
This is the Freedom i only care: the freedom to watch anime free of charge.

He don't know shit. We had shit like Mazinger and Ashita no Joe long before Telecinco even existed, and the anime wave in Spain was a direct consequence of the rise of regional tv and them needing cheap stuff to fill the new channels. Then private owned tv came out and they all had anime pretty much from the start.
anime is very very gay
>>55842712
Woah it sounds better than I thought it would, I like it
>>55842447
French-Japan Anime was so great.
Maya the Bee and Vicky the Vikings were for babies.

Funny enough, we had Grendizer in 1978, when you had Mazinger Z broadcasting on your tv.

Anime didn't have the same diffusion between 80s and 90s kids. 80s kids grew up with some animes but their childhood cartoons were mostly western series (if you consider D'artacan and Willy Fog western of course) which were aired on weekends, 90s kids on the other hand grew up with Captain Tsubasa, Dragon Ball and other animes while taking breakfast before going to school. Can you tell me a popular anime between 80s kids? And don't say Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya because they started airing them here at the beginning of the 90s. I can think in Heidi and Marco but I don't think they were popular between preteens and teens.
Also the autonomicas didn't started airing anime untill the late 80s, La 1 was the first Spanish TV channel with Mazinger Z

Anime in German TV was mostly a thing during the 90's. We got shit that was from the 70's, 80's and sometimes the 60's.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOwXR-nqSTQ
In 1995, Lady Oscar was probably the most mature cartoon I have seen at that point.
Considering Lady Oscar was already a thing in the 80's in Italy, your standards of cartoons having more mature themes matured quite fast comparision to western standards.
If Lady Oscar were aired in the US, it would be scandal and morally unacceptable.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roqqbVhYO3Q

Pretty sure latex was the tamest fetish in that show.
>>55843430

But it didn't become popular till the beginning of the 90s You don't see 30-40 yo talking about Mazinger z like 20-30 yo talk about Dragon Ball

I actually do. Mom was obsessed with Mazinger as a kid.
>>55843397
It didn't really catch on until the early 90s, but you had a lot of anime in the 80s. It's just that only shit like La aldea del arce, Conan, Harlock, Marco and classic mecha shows that leeched from the popularity of Mazinger got somewhat mainstream. Also Dragon Ball first came out in 1989.

I really like some of the disney shows that aired a decade ago
Never had the opportunity to watch 80s shows, I only started watching anime with ,digimon,pokemon ,dbz,dbgt,yugioh,beyblade,captain tsubasa,medabots and some other animes.
I heard the market for anime/manga in France and Italy is almost as big as it is in Japan. Would that be true.
Also - how are Anime priced in comparision to US shows.
In Germany, the situation is quite sad. People have to buy 4 times as much for Anime than they would for US shows.
>>55843892
https://youtu.be/VHM6RoXCDQs
>>55843876
That's my point. The popularity began in the 90s and telecinco had a huge role on it. Autonomicas are to blame in Basque country and Catalonia

eeehhh old memories...always sleeping or at school when it aired...

France is the second weeaboo nations in the world, the youth only read that and watch that, japanese stuff are considered "more adult" than western stuff, even for teenagers shonens.
this is really annoying because most people is interested in 2000's kawaii shit design stuff.
I'm glad we rejected this asian brainwashing tool
>>55844068
And in Galicia.
we also had anime senpai, I watched gundam wing, sailor moon, pokemon, dragonball.
We even produced one anime in collaboration with japan, Alfred Jodocus Kwak
>>55844087
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_C1TdtkJy4
We had this too.

Heh.
>>55844068
Autonomicas are to blame for starting a trend both Antena 3 and Telecinco followed later on at the exact same time because they knew it worked. Telecinco being owned by an Italian is irrelevant.
Have you ever wonder how was anime in Basque Country? No? Doesn't matter have some openings

Captain Tsubasa was the first anime that started airing in weekday mornings in Spain and it was on Telecinco. I didn't say they were the first airing anime, I did say that they were to blame for the popularity of anime in Spain and other channels followed them with the same formula.

No it wasn't, at least in the Communities with Autonómica. For us it was mainly Dragon Ball and some others such Dr. Slump and Hattori, and only later, Captain Tsubasa in the national networks..
Fun fact, Italian Lupin III opening has the same melody than the european Captain Tsubasa opening

>>55844819
Unless you're from Catalonia you are wrong. Also anime is far more popular and have more cultural influence in Catalonia than the rest of Spain.

I'm from Galicia. And you would be surprised about the influence of anime in Galicia and its the 90's cultural output, mainly in rock bravú, that happened around the Xabarín Club, which in turn influnced a couple of generations of kids. There is no one from 1980 on that didn't watch regularly the Xabarín Club,
I have already posted the Dr. Slump opening by Diplomáticos de Montealto. It is just an example of many many of them.
>>55845090
Fucking japs why can't they get boners with spanish culture, like they do with the rest of European countries? Is not fair ;_;
>>55845064
Isn't the Mazinger Statue there?
And isn't the most popular western Shin Chan version from there as well? Like the one that beat news ratings.
>>55845145
That also applies to Andalusia. People without autonomicas back then will never understand.
>>55845185
>isn't the mazinger statue there?
yep
>>55845145
Yeah, like most of the other autonomic regions with different languages except Catalonia and it wasn't before the 90s. Catalans are huge weeaboos.
Also your dragon ball opening is disgusting, don't know how you guys can praise it so much
Basque dragon ball > Catalan dragon ball > Spanish dragon ball >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Galician dragon ball
shin chan was pretty popular here aswell:

>>55845719
Sorry but the latinization removed all celtic stuff, today in France absolutly nothing is "celtic" except Britanny but this region isn't related to ancient Gaul but more sub-roman great britain.
it's like saying spaniards aren't latins because they are descendants of celtiberians and iberians.
also Mr.Goldberg you aren't hebrew, just some eastern or central european converted to judaism.
Anime is also popular in Latin American countries, so it's really a Latin thing I think.
