Popularity of Anime in Your Nation

by **Independent Carolina** » Tue May 26, 2015 7:28 pm

Simply put, how popular is anime in your country?

In Carolina, anime has become extremely popular with the population. It is commonly played on TV stations in dedicated timeslots, and rivals many western cartoons for ratings. Because of this, many animation companies in the Federation have taken to basing their shows art-styles to be similar to anime.

Anime is very popular but that is because animations in general are very popular. Anime as a separate genre isn't really acknowledged, it just being considered cartoon ls.

Very popular.

Northern Kingdom dubbing companies tend to make their own dubs (usually English, though Esperanto and Swedish dubs are not uncommon). The reasoning behind this is that they can localize the anime easier and, for the English dubs, they "can make better dubs than those North Americans." These dubs are almost always, if not always, faithful to the original (although not always word per word, if necessary). As such, sub vs dub wars do not occur; in fact, such wars are discouraged.

In light of this, abridged series are also popular, particularly those of LittleKuriboh and TeamFourStar.

Because anime is popular, cosplaying is also popular. If you go to a certain area in Dansarkyss, a troupe of cosplayers will walk down the sidewalks and pedestrian lanes every Friday. Also, in Bergensten, there is a restaurant where the staff are cosplayers.

Anime is by definition a catch all term as "Anime" or "Japanimation" covers a broad spectrum of genres. In the Althing it is generally quite popular although some series such as the "Evangelion" series are outlawed.

Anime is played along other animation on many channels. The most popular genres are military, shoujo, slice of life, and harem. The most popular anime in the USSH is "Girls und Panzer"

Very popular amoungst dissaffected youth and man children with wierd dreams about their dicks being 20 foot tenticles, with series such as Princess Ro bot Bubblegum earning the highest ratings of any animated TV show to date, beating legacy shows such as Detective Moorehead or Republian Space Rangers while also pulling millions in merchandising deals.

Very popular. However, they are not recognized as a separate genre from other cartoons, and are not immediately associated with foreign, Japanese-cultured nations.

Dubs are common and popular; the language spoken in Jeongmi is directly translatable with Japanese. Jeongmi also makes its own anime.

Pretty popular.

by **Laanvia** » Wed May 27, 2015 12:41 am

Not popular at all. Kids who watch it are often taunted and several anime studios were set on fire by the Police the other day,

by **Empire of Narnia** » Wed May 27, 2015 12:45 am

It has a modest popularity. The chilly relations between Narnia and Japan are one of the factors stopping it from being mainstream.

Why would people set up anime studios in your nation in public view if they knew that it was illegal and highly unpopular?

Our bad, think we may have farted in that direction and the resulting madness got to their society and shit.

Real sorry about that.

by **Master Shake** » Wed May 27, 2015 12:58 am

Anime is allowed in the nation of Master Shake. Only our neighbor Carl seems to like it. He doesn't call it anime though, but something called "Hen-Tie"....

by **Glengo Island** » Wed May 27, 2015 1:05 am

Fairly popular with youth, but older folk, usually veterans discourage Japanese cultural influence as Imperial Japan annexed part of northern Glengo in 1942-3.

by **Barboneia** » Wed May 27, 2015 4:37 am

Although all forms of animation and cartoons are disliked here, anime is especially hated. People who watch anime are ridiculed and made fun of. Most anime is watched through online streaming services.

by **Novaya Impedlia** » Wed May 27, 2015 4:40 am

They are relatively popular in the sense that the animation is a highly respected art in the Empire.

Either way, Anime are not known as a genre in itself.

by **Tolmakia** » Wed May 27, 2015 5:04 am

Anime here is popular, and has even contributed to Tolmakian media. There's a growing trend of so-called "Tonime" created by Japanese-Tolmakians in the republic.

Aside from that, Anime TV shows are regularly shown in certain channels, dubbed in both English and Tolmakian.

There are also anime events, including cosplay contests. The Meddli Square and megamall have hosted several cosplaying events.

Anime is the second most popular form of fictional entertainment, just behind virtual reality. It has been around for a century or two now, and it doesn't look like it'll be disappearing any time soon.

by **Autrael** » Wed May 27, 2015 5:13 am

Autraelis love to imitate the stereotypes of "The Predecessors" (Autistics pre-Autrael), hence anime, MLP, and anthropomorphic animals are quite popular. The three fandoms listed are strongly disliked in Az Biez, however, as Az Biez is trying to adopt its own identity and rid the region of all Autraeli things.

by **Doom Legions** » Wed May 27, 2015 5:16 am

If you'd ask a Legionnaire what anime was, he'd say: "Anime, what kind of heresy is that?" After that, you'd probably get shot.
I guess that means it's not exactly popular here.

by **Bellacosa** » Wed May 27, 2015 5:22 am

Anime isn't very well-known in Bellacosa, although there is a small following of it within the nation.

by **Famisa** » Wed May 27, 2015 5:25 am

Anime is extremely popular in Famisa, but mostly with children and young people. It is not very common to see it on TV but most people watch it by internet. Japanese culture in general is very popular in our country.

by **Ancient Humans** » Wed May 27, 2015 5:29 am

The popularity of Anime isn't known within the Eternal Imperium.

It is likely to well distributed among the population of Loyalists, however.

by **-The Unified Earth Governments-** » Wed May 27, 2015 5:35 am

Japanese Animation, currently just known as Eastern style animation is just a notable form of animation in the UEG.
