Quite popular; moreso than it is in the US.

Anime is quite popular amongst the youth. In other words: it contributes to our economy.

by **Windy Willows** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 1:36 am

Not very many citizens watch it.

by **Seres** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 1:37 am

Yes. It is popular.

What's the status of anime/manga in your nation?

Animated programmes and comics are a popular genre, but they are all locally produced. Anime and manga, like most of galactic entertainment, are literally too alien to be popular here. Also, tentacle monsters are right out.

^ This, actually.

Anime and manga certainly has a fan base in the TBRE, but it is not particularly large.

by **Sylevia** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 6:56 am

Anime is popular among most people, and there are some stores that sell anime here and there. As for manga, it's not really that popular here, people here prefer Western comics.

by **Tsundere Anime** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:01 am

Very, very popular ^^

by **Colstyria** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:05 am

Not really, people prefer realist styled propaganda comics

Since Orwellian Haruhiism, which involves a Jingoistic worship of Haruhi Suzumiya, is the national religion, it plays an important part of everyday life; however, government censorship/brainwashing makes it so that no other form of the medium exists, so most Suzumiyans would call anime/manga "Suzumiya-art" since they are unaware of any anime or manga having ever existed.

Although anime is not very popular here, do to our being geographically close to Japan, we adopt their animation and comic style. So our cartoons and comics look like Anime and Manga.

Confederate Socialist States of America wrote:Anime is legal under the freedom of speech clause of the Confederate Constitution but it is extremely looked down upon by mainstream society. Members of the Southern Socialist Volunteer Guards have been known to attack Anime fan clubs in violent street fights and Police often break up such meetings and place their attendants under arrest. Anime depicting grotesque sexual acts such as sexual violence against minors is banned nationwide and being found in possession of such materials can result in a incarceration in a "Joycamp" or forced reconditioning if you are a minor yourself.

Depends on the plot,Mackonians do not really care how you draw a cartoon so long as it has enough explosions and insanity in it.

Anime and manga are fairly popular in the ANFZ, especially among teenagers and young adults. In the larger cities (the ones that have been rebuilt after the nuclear cataclysm that rocked our nation during its founding, at least), there are several specialty shops that sell lots of anime- and manga-related products.

We have our own derivative of it, however "Spanime" puts an emphasis on being occasionally avant-garde and it bears some aspects of Magical Realism. It separates itself from anime seeing as how it sees some genres of the original anime to be aesthetically meaningless and too commercial...kitsch, or at least some less commercial Spanime producers. Another major difference is that the cultural hegemony in it is Latin American. The same applies to manga derivatives. Another derivative is realistic, however unlike the original anime, it is far more crude with our reality. Our economic status is lower than it is in it's land of origin, so social and economic problems are a major theme here.

Pornographic animation/Manga is legal for the adult population, however the depiction acts of un-natural sex (bestiality, tentacles, male-on-female rape, sadism, exaggerated body features, sex with minors) is banned.
