How come there's not any non-japanese anime?

why has anime not propagated as an animation style accross the world if it sells so well? why is it exclusively japanese nowadays? is there any sort of international legal copyright repercussion?
pls halp this i've had this doubt my entire life

fuck off

In 1968 there was a legal agreement between Hanna-Barbara and Tohei now called the "Animation Accords" where American studios agreed to not create anime, and Japanese studios agreed to not create cartoons. This was done as part of a greater trade treaty between the US and Japan and is still a part of international trade law.

source?
i cant find anything about what you're talking about

You have French, Chinese and maybe Korean "anime".

Koreans, Chinese, and French have attempted to emulate the style. You can imagine how soulless they end up being.

This sounds like a setup for a manga.

and i dont understand why
how hard can it be to literally copy something that already exist?

Look harder then

Avatar and The Legend Of Korra have an anime-ish style.

Teen Titans, Wakfu, Avatar...

...hell, Big O s2 and the first Ghost in the Shell movie were funded in part by Western companies.

i looked super hard :(

fuck off you're just making that up

Totally spies, Marvin Mystery, Kappa Mikey... all examples of American "anime"

there is, they're called cartoons

It was referred to in section 337.

That sounds like bullshit, there's plenty of cartoons with anime artstyles and vice versa.

Lies and slander

of course there are anime-ISH series out there
but not a single flat out foreign 100% anime that everyone would agree that is actually anime.

Panty and Stocking was deliberately designed to look like The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab, etc. iirc. Chuck was also a deliberate reference to GIR's dog costume from Invader Zim.

Wasn't Oban Star Racers a Euro-Japan production as well?

fuck off with that bs
give us something concrete

OP is so dumb it's almost endearing.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Can you imagine how triggered the SJWs in Western countries would be by blatant sexualization of underage characters? Or the lack of feminist influence on gender roles, with hyperfeminine kawaii girl characters being the standard? It's one thing for all of this to be happening in another country where they'll dismiss it as a cultural thing, but they would never let it happen within our borders.

>if it sells so well

lurk more

>but not a single flat out foreign 100% anime that everyone would agree that is actually anime
Because it's like whiskey - you can only call it Scotch if it comes from Scotland, otherwise it's whiskey, bourbon, whatever. Same way you can only call it anime if it's from Japan. Otherwise it's anime-influenced. It's not fucking rocket surgery.

China has been churning out 'anime' for some time now. Look it up. it's all unwatchable

i wish we could see that one day

...

so if you make scottish scotch outside of scotland with a label in a different language is it not original scotch anymore?

>rocket surgery

>implying western cartoons are primarily infantile because of a miniscule group of hyperleftists and not conservative CEOs/stockholders
what a waste of tin foil

Californian champagne is superior

>Implying media industry CEOs/stockholders are not hyperleftists.

またくっだらねー事議論してんなw

日本には偶然手塚治虫という奴がいて、そこからいろいろ派生して漫画アニメ文化が生まれただけ。

まぁこの"偶然"ってのが一番大事なんだけどな。

>It's one thing for all of this to be happening in another country where they'll dismiss it as a cultural thing
It's more like they just ignore it when it's inconvenient. Sometimes they even use Japanese media to paint their picture of the west as being sexist, such as with Japanese video games being used as proof of western gamers being sexist.

The post you're quoting doesn't even imply any of that. Literally who are you quoting?

There's actually a law in place in place to define Scotch en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_whisky#Regulations_and_labelling

>As of 23 November 2009, the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009 (SWR) define and regulate the production, labelling, packaging as well as the advertising of Scotch whisky in the United Kingdom. They replace previous regulations that focused solely on production. International trade agreements have the effect of making some provisions of the SWR apply in various other countries as well as in the UK. The SWR define "Scotch whisky" as whisky that is:[1][3]

Produced at a distillery in Scotland from water and malted barley (to which only whole grains of other cereals may be added) all of which have been:
Processed at that distillery into a mash
Converted at that distillery to a fermentable substrate only by endogenous enzyme systems
Fermented at that distillery only by adding yeast
Distilled at an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 94.8% (190 US proof)
Wholly matured in an excise warehouse in Scotland in oak casks of a capacity not exceeding 700 litres (185 US gal; 154 imp gal) for at least three years
Retaining the colour, aroma, and taste of the raw materials used in, and the method of, its production and maturation
Containing no added substances, other than water and plain (E150A) caramel colouring
Comprising a minimum alcoholic strength by volume of 40% (80 US proof)

There's similar laws for Champaign and certain foods - if they're not from the country of origin, they're essentially not the real thing.

This guy gets it. Its all part of laws that protect native industries. Japan takes a protectionist stance in a lot of industries since they're heavily subsidized by the government and its buried in international treaties, so you can't legally call non-Japanese animation anime in the US.

that's pretty retarded but you got a point. how come no one has been able to perfectly emulate the style? there's always something subtle wrong with it. Closest is Last Airbender but even that's not perfect. They got some different computer programs in Japan?

avatar
teen titans
etc.

I wonder what the media executives that control most American media have in common? Like maybe a certain religious or ethnic identity...I wonder what it could be?

No. It's just animators outside of Japan were probably not taught the 'anime style', so they find it hard to adjust to.

What does くっだらない mean?

pretty sure that's bullshit, since "anime" is just the French word for animation anyway.

Have you considered the possibility that they're not trying to replicate the style exactly?

It translates as "the pleasure of being cummed inside"

they've been doing it longer. also, they're not trying to fully emulate it.

あぁ確かに。文化ってのは大切だよな。

BUT THATS THE THING
why wouldnt they?
if its so popular inside and outside of japan, isnt it a good business to look into?

a) they don't like it that much
b) they want to be original, not mere copycats
c) unable to do so

plus, basically in the 90% of the anime the ethnicity of the characters is western white
so why on earth wouldnt they try to emulate it and sell it westerned brand to a public that can relate to it?

Anime has a weird business model where a lot of the profits come from merchandise or sales of the adapted material (manga, light novels). I assume that this is hard to emulate in the west because there are fewer hardcore fans willing to buy merchandise and there's no market for manga/light novels.

Also, animators in Japan get paid very little compared to in the west so it would be very hard to create anime of the same quality.

Because both Japan and the Western target audience would look at it as a bastard hybrid trying to cash in on something more popular. Everyone would look at it as a cynical attempt to design by committee - "Okay, what's popular right now? These sexy anime dames? Go make a series. Don't care what it's about as long as it looks the part."

中出し

...

I can understand the rest of the post perfectly well, you know.

because anime is the "cliches" westerners obsessed with originality seem to hate so much
