How come the French comics and cartoons industry isn't as popular in the states as Japanese comics and cartoons? There are so many amazing works that people don't know about in America because it wasn't made by a jap.

Because the French are lewd fuckers.
Have you SEEN Totally Spies? Or what about that Ladybug show?

So are the japs yet anime is huge in America.

The french didn't want to contribute to the waifu war.

It's that simple.

The problem with French cartoons is TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Because France is full sand niggers desu

It really isn't a good as the japanese ones.

Simple as that.

Japan is a meme and nobody really cares about France.
I don't know why though, you'd think all those weebs would love the gratuities sexuality directed towards minors.
Come to think of it, forget America, why aren't French comics popular in Japan?

Mechs! Only Japan could conceive of the most powerful fictional entity in history.

I mean I think the biggest problem is how many people don't realize that some things they are watching are french in origin

I mean even as a kid I knew anime was japanese but I didn't realize things like Totally Spies or Code Lyoko were French until years later

Because France didn't make DBZ or NGE.

Manwha has better masturbation fuel, currently reading tower of God and every single chick makes my dick diamonds and the way they are designed fuckkk.

Because the US has it's origins in puritanism and being part of the anglosphere

They can't handle French lewdness

My mom didn't let me watch Totally Spies because of 9/11.

Because glorious Nippon comics and cartoons and folded over 9000 times

what does cute spy girls have to do with 9/11?

The concept of Tower of God seems wasted.

Isn't it that story about a giant Tower that people have to go to the top to get wishes? And the outside world is shit?

But we handle japanese lewdness.

Stop trying to justify anything.

Also, for some reason when american cartoons air on France, they edit out a lot of stuff for some reason.

But why is Nihon lewd ok?

it isn't cute

The treacherous Frenchies were against the glorious invasion of Iraq.

Japanese lewdness is all blushing and not showing anything, French don't give a shit about that and are just straight up lewd, 2hot for Amerimoms.

Ladybug show?

Its more about the the politics of the tower that is bigger than our planet.

Miraculous DAT ASS

you mean that time we got really drunk and our one real friend stood up to us and told us what we were doing was a bad idea and then we didn't listen?

Miraculous: the Adventures of Ladybug and Chat Noir

its a newer one

>for some reason when american cartoons air on France, they edit out a lot of stuff for some reason.
The French edits are often arbitrary as fuck. Or were, I haven't seen any French dubs since the 90s. They would often completely change the original soundtrack to some shitty synth loops. I don't get it.

Because jap lewd was shaped by US-imposed lewdness laws and Asian people look different enough that US citizens can just go "those zany foreigners with their different, alien cultures".

France just does what it likes

France just rips off everything.
They have wakfus instead of waifus

Well, Wakfus is a better descriptive of what they're for...

Most likely it has to do with the cultural exchange that occurred after WWII. Returning American soldiers and foreign investments by American companies saw pieces of Japan return with them. On top of that the influence of American culture on anime created a number of similarities that don't necessarily exist in French animation.

It still gets raped by STTGL though, mainly because Spiral Power is the one true GO FUCK YOURSELF power. It might take the entire fighting spirit of humanity itself to win, but it'll do it in due time.

Pif Gadget used to be owned by the French Communist Party. True story.

You guys are gay.

I do like Skydoll and Les nombrils. Isn't that enough?

Don't care about the show.

Looks and is more of a toddler magical girl show. The only difference is a catboy on tight costume, because you are on the same board that had a general for fucking Shezow, you can expect that he is also the only reason for why Sup Forums even whatch this shit.

Nope

Because weeaboos exist, while frogaboos are extraordinarily rare

yeah no, I had actually forgotten about Shezow thanks for reminding me someone made that trash

Miraculous is actually a good show, it looks good for 3D animation, has a reasonable monster of the week plot with potential for more and is actually interesting, with cool villains and powers

in addition to the hot catboy

it's ouiaboos

Why aren't British comics like 2000AD? Why isn't the Beano the go to humor comic?

The marketing is just fucked up

Frogs also produce MUCH LESS content than nips.

We used to get more Euro stuff in the US from what I can tell, before the comic bust of the 90's. Luckily, things seem to be picking up again, with people like Titan comics and Europecomics.com translating stuff. I hope they keep at it, there's a lot of good stuff over there I'd love to see translated.

I don't think anyone produces half the amount of content a year as Japan.

But the French stuff is soo...routine. The episodes of their shows really blend together a lot when the same characters do the same thing in the same situations every single episode without fail. It's like there is some kind of checklist for the series sin general that each episode has to follow.

But also France has not produced as much really high quality, award winning stuff that really attracts loads of international attention and gets everyone into nearly anything that comes out of the country which includes the lesser quality stuff.

>I have no idea what I'm doing
The chart

Sounds like Superman Prime at the end there.

They had anime aimed at teens to get their foot in the door.

France isn't as popular here because france never made a (webm) related

Akira is basically cheating. Nobody has made an animated movie/show that looks as good as Akira since it was released, not even Japan.

Yea this is what I was thinking, France never made animated films that just grabbed everyone's attention like that. Then there was the international success of Dragonball on top of that.

Japan regularly releases movies like that m8

indeed.

What is metropolis, memories, steamboy, gits innocence, ponyo, little nemo, redline

France never made something blow the worlds mind, like Pokémon.

European stuff has a particular look when it's filmed. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the moment I see it I can recognize it.

Might be the cameras.

A lot of French stuff just plays different notes. Violence tends to be frowned upon for kids and they rarely promote their more mature things here, when it's made at all.

That movie gets better on each rewatch.

People know a LOT of French stuff. They just dont know they're french.

Like said. Everything by Marathon, Oban Star Racers, Miraculous Ladybug, everything related to the Little Prince, etc

>European stuff has a particular look when it's filmed. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the moment I see it I can recognize it.

yeah the french have this awful tendency to extend their scenes for entire minutes to make it look deeper

Not really.

Akira is famous for being the only animated movie there that got some speciphic technical treatments on the animation.

Kids. Kids. Make way, you pair of fucking wankers.

DELETE THIS

>people ITT seriously blaming "lewdness" for lack of French cartoons in the USA

This makes no sense for two reasons

1.Cartoons like Totally Spies and Ladybug air just fine

2. Most cartoons by France aren't even super-lewd. Sup Forums just exaggerates it because they are horny bastards.

I see your Akira and raise you a Wings of Honneamise.

>Most cartoons by France aren't even super-lewd. Sup Forums just exaggerates it because they are horny bastards.
True. It's only the comics that are sometimes lewd.

They're not as good
>but le nudity!

Not even Logos can defeat Golden Experience Requiem

Trying to represent anime with utter bottom-of-the-barrel garbage

My man

Comics and manga in general are made in different way. A french comic can take a lot of time for one book to be made, while manga and burger comics can be put out every week or month. I'm generalizing, but I think that counts somewhere in the equation.
Also, Japs have somehow introduced anime and manga everywhere while not showing that big of an interest for people outside their country, Americans have a thing for inserting their cultural products everywhere, and I guess in France we don't have that.
In term of comics again, we have (had ?) big shots like Tintin, Astérix, guy like Moebius... but maybe we don't make the actual effort to publish more of our stuff overseas, or there's not enough interest in what our artists and authors produce maybe ?

And please, we don't just have lewd things, just different standards and mentalities cause we're in Europe.

>Because jap lewd was shaped by US-imposed lewdness laws

It's not though, and it's hilarious that people STILL think that's the case. The wierd japanese laws were made during the time of Imperial Japan, before we even got involved.

Wait, seriously, those were both FRENCH? Tha faq...

>I don't think anyone produces half the amount of content a year as Japan.

In terms of animated work? No. Japan lets out like 80 shows every year, even if not all of them are new.

Not true. Akira is the only anime film that is animated entirely in 1s.

Great movie, but unless you REALLY love mechanical engineering, a lot of the magic is gone on repeat viewings.

1s?

yes both of them were French

>anime is huge in America.
My sides. You should travel to understand what "anime is huge" means. and it doesn't mean "we have 3 hours of toonami guys we win"

I like the Irony that a French guy, Stanislas Brunet, worked on Aquarion (not sure which one) mech design

Excuse me, I must go drink now.

Only reason why i am still folowing fairy tail because sexy girls

Basically, anime is animated with 24 drawn frames per second of animation, that has always been the standard. But here's the thing, drawing 24 UNIQUE frames is a complete bitch and very expensive. 1s means that every single one of those 24 frames is individually drawn, which means the animation will be of much higher quality and a lot smoother.

So what most anime do to save costs/time is animate in 2s. Which means you make a unique frame, then you copy that unique frame onto the next one before making another unique frame. It's still 24 fps, but there's only 12 actually unique frames in it. But even 2s is very expensive, only Studio Ghibli tends to do their movies in 2s. Tv anime does their animation in 3s if not 4s.

For a good example, here's the first opening to G Gundam, remastered for the blu-ray. It's notable because the entire opening is done in 1s, which makes its high quality clear

>France isn't as popular here
France is more popular but for products that most people ignore to be French, like the Golden age of Dic cartoons, Ulysses31, Inspector gadget, MASK and the catillac cats.More recently, it was code lyoko, totally spies, oggy and the roach. Despicable me is French in the core too.

>make it look
you sound like a massive plebe.

>Ladybug
Is baby garbage, completely gutted from any sort of maturity by Disney's supervision, the heck are you smoking. Those gay porn fanfics aren't real, man.

stuff like tentacles and hairy pussies also just come from medieval tradition. The porn industry of Japan comes from deep historical roots of not make sex evil, but necessary. Censorship changes some of the forms but not the content itself.

its a passable magical girl show, not everything has to be adult or edgy to be good you know?

>passable
no, no it's not. It does a terrible job at literally everything. It's not even mediocre, because it misses the marks of the genre too often. It's also ugly and empty as shit because of budget and lack of imagination of the team. And the chara design is like a Sonic OC fanclub, all snowflakes that don't blend at all with the rest of the setting. It's amateurish garbage, and again, you only eat it for the gay porn.

French can't produce big successful cartoon like Disney or Ghilbi (rip).

the more we think about it, the more the idea that Sadam could have nuclear weapons is ridiculous.

>skydoll
was the last comic storytimed on Sup Forums?

>It's also ugly
Opinion disregarded.

Because they're niche. I'm really enjoying Dago right nowBTW, and enjoyed Asterix back then.

miss me already???

>diamonds
What have you fucking done to me Sup Forums.

Jesus this still looks like it could have come out yesterday. And it still blows everything animated that Disney, WB and Marvel have released over the last 30 years right out of the water.

truth hurts I see. But the CGI is garbage and ugly. They have no idea how to balance big eyes in 3d faces, and the body joints are just flods because the budget didn't allow muscles with mass and bones under the skin.
The design itself is garrish which doesn't mix with the poor boring low poly copy pasted backgrounds, or even the 5 bystander models they have.
It's hard to believe those people made cartoons before at any level.

America has successful implement the protestant style sexual repression and splurge cycle in the mindset of the Japanese. A sort of mental binge and purge.

I have seen Total Spies as a kid. It was a total bore and I would switch channels to something else.

Right, sure

Ladybug will surpass any Ameriburger super-hero, you heard here first

because they're not that good.

Because cybersix got abandonded with its fans and we have trust issues because of it.

Just let it out user.
It's healthy for you.
