because it's another distraction from the reminder that you will be living in this shithole forever, like alcohol or drugs.

was on national television

It's popular all around the world. Remember those threads were Arabs like them too?

The biggest weeb country is france for some reason.

The indigenous people of Latin America are basically Asian, so...

We got faithfull distribution and translations for over a decade.
Not like murricans with their own version of a censored footage.

Basically, we got quality over quantity.

All while being on prime time in TV.

Please elaborate

Why is Anime and Manga so popular in the Philippines?

...

Everything that gets licensed for sale outside of eastern asian, always gets a french release, sometimes before all the other non-asian countries.

Also, french animation is inspired by anime.

This comes to mind.

I think it goes far back really. Iw as born in the mid 80s, yet even older folk remember seeing old shit like umi no triton, tiger mask, gekko kamen, Comet-san, etc on TV.

Pedos

>why is Asian media popular in southeast Asia

memes

They speak in tongues or whatever, and they don't have anyone with talent among any of their nations to make their own media that people would actually want to watch, so everything needs to be dubbed or subbed. Anime and cartoons are some of the easier things to dub. Live action is a motherfucker to dub in a believable fashion.

>They speak in tongues or whatever
what

>Glossolalia or speaking in tongues, according to linguists, is the fluid vocalizing of speech-like syllables that lack any readily comprehended meaning

Cat's Trail anime when?

yes, what has that to do with anything

>Shinji

No, that guy is this guy.

I was making fun of their shitty language. I assume you're one of them, because clearly you're retarded as well.

Escapism.

no i am russian i just think you americans are imbeciles

Probably shouldn't be on an American image board then. Then again, its Japanese now so whatever.

Are you talking about america?

Latin America, yeah.

I meant USA

wey get those fb normalfag memes off muh 4chin

Which anime you Russians guys get on tv? Did you guys get Russian ranma or something?
I really want to know

There's talent, but they aren't willing to take risks when a uninspired rehash of a foreign reality show/soap opera shot on a shoestring budget and laden with product placement will still rake up cash.

this

america got shafted hard
anything we got was cut down if it was on TV, like it was all for kids because cartoons!
we didn't get stuff like manga for a good while, probably 1997 or so.

its why mexico has the hardest boner for saint seiya. even the fucking PS4 game got a fucking mexidub with the OG cast. when was the last time anyone cared to give mexican dubs ANY favor?

MAKE ME PUTO

Can't make you a puto, you're already one ;^)

No local cartoons to compete against. Local TV stations could show either american or japanese cartoons. The japanese cartoons with their long stories with a lot of melodrama and plot twists are more popular in latín american market over the episodic content where every episode doesnt matter at all from american cartoons. The Simpsons was the most popular american cartoon because it has a plot.
SoL anime is not popular in latin america.

Tl.dr version: anime is 2d telenovelas

Zelda Breath of the wild got Mexican dub

Correct.

Relative violent/sexual shit was in public TV at prime times.

As far as I remember the only thing that was censored were exposed breasts from stuff like Ranma and even then the censorship was kinda shitty and some stuff still went to air.

Not to mention the god tier dubbing faithful to the originals.

Unsurprisingly some shit lately has been translated from the castrated American versions making them fairly unpopular for obvious reasons.

neat
for like, all of its 20 mins of talking!

>Star Wars Update
>Justin of N'Sync plays Vader?

top kek

i don't remember ranma getting censored at all

Ranma wasn't censored in Mexico

Isn't it as popular in other countries? spics are juts more scandalous. And huge nostalgiafags.

I dont remember shit, I will ask my dad or sister

There were some scenes that were removed (no black bars) but as I said, they were small, irrelevant and at some point the censors stopped giving a fuck and things just went by.

Pretty much this. In peru we got Evangelion on prime time. Yeah moms complained but by then the whole thing had already aired.

>No local cartoons to compete against
Cantinflas Show mang.

OPs actually used the music from the show.

I think I actually caught glimpse of a nip on one of the bathhouse episodes lmao.
GS Mikami and Dragon ball just had a bit of groping scenes removed.
The redubs from american versions where usually censored, too. Sakura Taisen had some awfully obvius cus made here and there.

At its height DBZ got better ratings that divegrass and soap operas (that is, quite a fucking lot).

Can confirm, my mom liked to watch Candy Candy

I saw plenty of nipples in Ranma back then, they didn't censor shit.

Wasn't Culture Crash responsible for Alodia Gosiengfiao?

>Why is Anime and Manga so popular in Latin America?
Because it started airing in public television since the 70s.
One of the first regions in the West, along with France, Italy and Spain.
Why the early adoption? Not sure.

My guess is that they were cheaper licenses since the japanese always seemed to consider exports as just a little extra yen when it comes to anime. And wholesone yet dramatic and engaging shit like the world masterpiece series weren't too foreign.

So, is it safe to be a weeb in Mexico? Do you need a higher power level to be considered a weirdo.

If you used the word weeb in front of me I would punch you in the face

you can even talk about dbz with the dude who drives the bus so, yeah

They were telenovelas for kids and young adults. Also even grandparents watched stuff like speed racer so you could enjoy some shows with your family. Sure if you show them stuff like Madoka or an Izekai series they'd slap you but they can endure old school mechas and shonen.

Hell no

everyone is a normie here, even the women that are weeabs must do gigantic efforts to hide their powerlevel

you're only allowed to talk about DBZ

t. provinciano mugroso

While most people over 25 probably grew up watching anime on TV... it's still advisable to keep it down a little.

Even weeb chicas go for macho mexichads lmao.

>you're only allowed to talk about DBZ
It's kind of like Pokemon Go.
People who didn't give a shit about it in the 90s suddenly felt nostalgic about it.

>tfw have that magazine

I was so fucking retarded

Hey mang. They had those dope drawing lessons.

>TNT 8
wew
time sure fly

Mexican state television and Japanese state television started cooperating in technical matters since the 60's, eventually cooperation extended into licensing their content in the 70's

You dont need to hide shit wherever you are from

S A V A G E

Right now in Mexican public tv there is like 3 anime airing
Dragon ball
Candy Candy
Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns

Because anime plots are just cartoon soap operas, and anime fights are just cartoon lucha wrestling.
Prove me wrong
Protip : you can't

No, it's true, they are just better than the mexican version.

Only some shows get a pass in a casual conversation. Mainly 90's shit. And that also goes for non chinese cartoons. You'd get still end up in a weaboo circle if you watch modern anime, like this:
youtube.com/watch?v=d46RacdV_RU

But nodoby gives a shit in college so it's fine. Don't try to hide your fetishes.

True.

More to the point, why is Saint Seiya the big one in Spanish speaking countries?

no worries, man. Once someone went through that.

They love Saint Seiya more.

The grow of private TV and the need for cheap contents.

That's how happened in Europe too.

Just don't expect to find anyone with decent powerlevel, the best you will find is shonen and sports fags.

It's the only thing that is pure compared to the rest of the shit they deal with.

>Bulgarian
>most people I've talked about anime in the past seem to have a loose bolt (people with penchant for violence - the kind that carry knives in school, druggies) and they don't even have a decent powerlevel, they were into shonen like Death Note, Bleach, FMA.. I reckon they were probably watching JoJo and Drifters recently
>normal people immediately jump to conclusions; most often "detski" - children's cartoons, or "hentai shit" - it's either one or the other

Will I never find somebody relatively normal who likes things like New Game and Non Non Biyori? God, why wasn't I born in Mexico? At least people are somewhat accepting there.

Came in at the right time. And the figures were the hot toy for a while.

spics

Because they had less US instigated anti-japanese propaganda than a lot of other countries.
I know I'm French, and I was raised with the idea that Japanese people are barely human.
The good thing is that I left France for Japan and am changing nationality this year.

But it's more or less the same situation here. Normies will rarely accept cgdct shows.

>Irúle
Not touching that shit even with a ten-foot pole.
Even though the acting sounds really good.

I always carried a knife in school and love Non Non and other similar shows, and watched the so called shonen shit you hate

we had a fucking awesome anime block back in the 90's with top notch dubs

>That wonderful feeling when I was introduced to anime by a guy I knew IRL and we love the same exact shit and discuss who is best girl in a given CGDCT
Feels good man.

When I went to Paris I tried to track down a manga shop, turns out there's a whole avenue right by Notre Dame cathedral with weeb shops- anime, manga, hentai, figures, games, you name it.

Lucky enough to be there too when the Eva x Japanese swords exhibit was up. They def got a market for that stuff there.

I found another user in real life a while ago, we talked about the nekopara ova and some other stuff, I felt like I have found a nakama then he asked me what's your mother board?
>a of course
>oh I'm from pol
Shit
After that he took me to a protest
he recorded the protest.
He bought me a burger it was a nice day. End of blog

Sup Forums users are friendly so long your skin and opinion matches theirs

battleshounen are wrestling and copypasted romance are soapoperas
there are many other kinds of anime

How do you even know someone is from Sup Forums if he isn't speaking with memes?

>>No 4kids
Anime was shown with censorship but not that shit as yours

Im the only one that grow the most with mazinger z ?

You are old grandpa

He was driving look at me at the eyes and said to me do you browse Sup Forums
> yeah
>I knew you have that kind of face
I don't know how to feel about that

Being on Sup Forums does not turn you into a literal nazi, nor does it radicalise you, you just gain a slightly different perspective on things. It's truly an international community, much better than Sup Forums. Politics are the great uniter; they bring people from all over the world in that little corner on the internet. I miss how relaxed pre-Trump Sup Forums was.
Not him, but you can kinda sense it. Not because they keep spouting memetics (only absolute retards do that, but... I can't really explain it. Like I said, you just kinda sense it.

>you just gain a slightly different perspective on things
yes
from retarded people
