Why is Anime so popular in Italy?
Why are Italians so into classic anime?
Im on vacation in Milan with my father and we went into an Manga store they are quite common here and they have a bunch of figures of older shows like Hokuto no ken Mazinger original Gundam and my father just mentions how he grew up watching all those shows and likes them
He is a totally normal guy otherwise he usually only watches football on tv or f1 like everyone else
But you can find this sort of stuff everywhere almost every store i went had some Mazinger figure and in Germany i cant find that anymore?

Some TV executives in the 70s had the foresight to license lots of anime from Japan because it was cheap and they were a big hit.

Same in the Middle East and Latin America. During the cold war, poorer countries brought over international entertainment to supplement their own cultural output.
Japanese media especially anime which hadn’t yet become a hot commodity could be licensed for cheap, and so as lot of people from those countries grew up watching anime.

Anon you need to shut CNN off and learn more about how non-americans actually live. They’ve got Netflix, Crunchyroll, satellite channels, and yeah, anime. Just like anyone else.
I've been in Morocco, Iran, Egypt also Liban. 95% of Muslims never experienced shariah law and don't care about it. Saudi Arabia regularly promotes anime.
As for censorship there was censorship but that was the case everywhere.
I'm not sure about specific cases of censorship in latin American or middle east, but in France before the 2000s they regularly changed characters names to french sounding names. An episode also got axed because James was crossdressing.

In the 70s anime was a good resources for both major and minor TV channel to fill the schedule.

Later, in the 80-90s, Mediaset invests further in cartoon from every country (especially anime) for their kids programs.

- End of the state monopoly on radio and television frequencies in the mid-1970s
- Cheap cost to buy anime. And even cheap cost to dub her without losing quality. Slightly overstating things, the Italian dubbing school is still the best among the European ones. However, the national Italian TVboardcoaster arrived to co-produce an anime too. (RAI relationship with anime is unstable from co-production, refuse, trying to imitate Mediaset/TMC/MTVItalia/Gold. Trying to push Digimon against Pokemon on Mediaset; acquiring Dragon Ball OAVs; Precure to oppose Sailor Moon/MewMew/Card Captor Sakrua; Gals! Ufo Baby! You're under arrest transmitted)
- "Italianization" of the most "Japanese" culture aspects so that people couldn't be confused. But the Italianization changed during the years or from the boardcoaster/acquiring of rights choices, so you can see Ranma nipples on TMC but Lina Inverse (or better Rina) has the fever on Mediaset everyt 28's days. Another example is replacing the original opening/ending song with "native ones." However, this lasted until the half 00's when MTV Italia created an anime programming in its schedule (Excel Saga, Cowboy Bepop, Nana, Wolf's Rain, Evangelion, Aquarion, Trigun, GTO, Alexander, Karekano, Gantz) which was a great success, opposing to the decline of Mediaset programming (Naruto, One Piece for teens; Doremi, Sgt. Frog, Sana, Mew Mew for kids) repetetions of Captain Tsubasa, Lupin, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura)
- Until the half 80's or better until the sort of "animation monopoly" by Mediaset, Manga/Anime was judged as a sort of "counterculture" respect native comics or USA comics.
- Toy manufacturers takes advantage of this from the first day.
- Parallel diffusion of manga magazines / fanzines.

Comics were always popular in italy, and italy as a whole is a much geekier country than the rest of Europe.
Anime came quite early here as well, with many of them arriving in the 70s and 80s.
Until the early 2000s there was also a lot of localization to adapt anime to a greater or lesser extent to the local culture and make it feel closer to the Italians
Manga is also much cheaper than in many other European countries.
There are many other reasons, but these are the most obvious ones.

I worked with a normalfag who was born in Italy and moved to the UK for uni and she has absolutely no interest in anime at all, but has still seen Fist of the North Star, Tiger Mask and Lupin III because it was on TV there when she was a kid. Apart from those 3 I'm not sure she could name a single other show. It's like how every single guy of a certain age in the UK has seen DBZ whether they were a fan of anime or not, it was just something that everyone watched at one point. The only other thing quite like it was WWF.

There are a few countries in Europe that have a longer tradition of comic books than USA do. It's not a surprise they also like manga, it felt like for a long time in the west that comics were "for kids" and that wasn't the same in Europe, which might also be why they were attracted to manga much earlier.

To be fair, we had instances of that in America. The issue was that a lot of anime, especially in the 80s, just didn't have anywhere in the US it would make sense to air. Like they tried bringing Dragonball/Z to the US even as late as the early 90s, but there just wasn't a good home for it until Cartoon Network started making anime its thing. Before that, it mostly aired in random dead timeslots on broadcast channels.

Hell, my local FOX network aired fucking Pokemon in a 2PM dead slot because it didn't fit with the rest of the cartoons on the network.

Berlusconi's favourite anime was Lupin and he owned mediaset (based?)

Couple that with cheap licenses, relatively similar culture and shared history. The thing is that up until around 2012 most people didn't know 'anime' as 'anime' in Italy, they just knew them as cartoons airing on tv like any other, without even knowing they were Japanese or that there was a dedicated fandom for them (They were adapted for an Italian audience instead of translated, like 4Kids did for the US) , there have been things like Luccacomics for decades but they weren't all that mainstream till the past decade or so (Atleast basing this on my experience having lived in lombardy my entire life)

From Tanzania here. Grew up reading and watching Doraemon. The Kindaichi Case Files also, plus crayon shin chan. With Doraemon in particular, I'd read and read and read and watch over and over and over again. Well, by around 12, I started playing games ( an Egyptian guy introduced them to me ) and got hooked on Dragon Quest. I thought games were all just flash stuff before, which while I enjoyed I didn't sink time into much ( Chaos faction is remembered fondly )
Then some other Kenyan guy later introduced me to SMT and other stuff like Dirty Pair. That same Kenyan guy still talks to me and still brings up Atlus stuff.
....Anyway, most the guys I knew regularly distributed hentai to one another, but I wasn't all that interested, for reasons I can't go into.
Life was instructed to follow strict policy as far as reality was concerned, but we were all free to do whatever online, and that we did, and still do.

You remind me of how Western faggots on /co/ will talk about why the animation industry stagnated and instead of pointing out the obvious (Americans never liked animation and always treated it as kids stuff, they prefer live action, along with death of expertise during the 70s), then comes you faggots who bring up retarded libboomer takes whining about Hays code and the Comic code authority long after it stopped being relevant and about muh reagan (even when the narrative is contradictory, since it was the Reagan administration, that debatably, killed off American animation post Transformer, He-man by regulating Americans from being able to make toy commercials because its being explotative to kids, which ended up killing most Saturday morning cartoons by the 90s because the source of revenue was killed off. Not because of Christianity and family values).

The answer is obvious. Not only do Anglos not care for animation, but Anglos had their own massive entertainment industry so why would they care about importing foreign entertainment to fill their programming the way many other parts of the world did?

Nah man, supposedly the 4 biggest selling titles in France are OP, DB, Naruto and fucking Fairy Tail of all things. Old French people liked stuff like Harlock, Cobra, Fist of the North Star and City Hunter but the latter 2 had joke dubs. I think it's only the niche fans who like the Gekiga stuff in France, same as everywhere else.

France also love Jiro Taniguchi and Katsuhiro Otomo it seems. Taniguchi seems to be more loved in France than Japan but again, only amongst the older age group it seems.

Anon look man. I was born in America myself, 3rd generation Italian. But even I can tell you that what you see on American News is science fiction to the point of Cartoonish. You need to go outside or talk to people who live in those countries. You would be very surprised to know in Latin America and Europe they had all the Anime from the 1970's-1990's the only reason why Dragon Ball is extremely popular is because it is a worldwide phenomena much like Pokemon is. They all know of Captain Tsubasa, they know of Doraemon and even in SEA countries they also know of Shinchan.

Also thanks to Crunchyroll and Netflix Anime is more global which is a good and bad thing. Good because everyone worldwide can get access to Anime, but bad because it can lead to censorship due to casting a wide net for a wider audience.

This is a correct post Anglo Americans the majority of America itself, is very very authoritarian and did not place much value on the Arts, Entertainment or Quality at all. They looked down on Cartoons or Anime as "Kids stuff" especially Video Games and that 3D shows like TV's and Movies were for "Adults" even Sitcoms tried to point this out as a bad thing with Jewish writers back in the day. To them the only thing that mattered was those things.

The hardest part honestly was trying to get anything popular in America and get the ball rolling with huge successes that Americans could identify with even to where they would buy the products. It was not until Dragon Ball, Pokemon and especially Digimon managed to get the ball rolling and from there on there forth Cartoons were ceding to Anime itself. Anime makes tons of money and it is easy to import. That is when Anglos really bought into Anime wholesale and actually integrated it as apart of the culture due to the money they can make from it with Mcdonalds and various advertisements. Crunchyroll and Netflix also helped Anime gain a bigger following even to the point you can say it's too successful lol.

In my country, the reception wasn't similar, but it was fairly popular. Every single person with a TV from the late 70s onwards watched Captain Tsubasa, Future Boy Conan, Romeo's Blue Skies, etc. There's even a joke from 30 years ago that we say when it rains, we'd say, "In a weather like this, Hyuga(we have a different name for him) was training to master the tiger shot." Also, when that one chinese missile went missing, someone edited Tetsujin 28 catching it, we called it Giant Thunder for some reason, though. Anime intros were great, too. So much effort was put into them. In 2008-2009, when Nokia 6120 became popular, everyone was doing silly voice-overs for anime and such. However, after touchscreens took over, I stopped seeing it happen as often, but the recent wplace thing made me realise people still like anime. It's just people here keep to their own more than others. It's an interesting thing to see how anime is received all over the world.

"Sharia Law" is a meme. No one Muslim actually agrees with any other Muslim on what it even is, because it in the end it's trying to take a tradition that either had next to no actual rules or doctrines (the Quran) or has no universal canon or is hyper focused on issues of Seventh century AD nomadic clan culture (the Hadith) that you can't actually use it to base any kind of "Muslim Society" on. It's people trying to figure out "What would Mohammed say about petroleum export duties?" when the answer is nothing, because Mohammed didn't know what the fuck petroleum was or what an export duty is. "Sharia Law" is just a way for people to say "look how pious I am" while passing the laws they were going to pass anyway.

The same reason it was so popular in most places besides the US and UK. They didn't have large or well funded enough home grown media industries to satisfy their populations demands for entertainment. So they did what any country does when it lacks such things, it imported foreign stuff. Now most of the time this meant American stuff, as America obviously had the largest and most well funded media industry in the world, but because they had no particular need for American media over any other Western aligned media, that meant that Japanese stuff was welcome too, which allowed it to gain a fanbase both early and quickly. America did not start consuming anime in significant amounts for a much longer time because America produced so much media for itself that there was no real market space for anime outside of the occasional auteur. Anime/Manga only really gets its foot in the door when particular aspects of American media start falling so drastically behind in things like "effective production values", technical innovation, serving certain genres, and just pure talent that American animation couldn't compete even with the advantages of things like being made in English or being visually familiar.

that's the point. i think that anime is kinda ingrained in italian history thanks to lupin, DBZ, tiger mask, mazinger and other very well known retroanime here, but i feel like we're still stuck there and never moved on as a nation.
Dont get me wrong, like >>282071063 said you can find extremely obscure stuff, like some Kamimura or Furuya seinen translated which are not even available in fucking Japan (you can see LOVE in the photo), but being an animefag still feels more natural in France than Italy.
You see people reading Hirayasumi on the bus, Ruri dragon advertisment posters in the metro, Cygames organizing horse racing cups in paris, and i accidently found a Land of lustrous popup store while walking in the fucking louvre.
Italy remains a seasonal shonenshit land for basically any city except maybe milan.

This anon is right. Let say that the socials, the streamings services, the massive diffusion of internet changed that sort of monopoly-equilibrium dominated by TV-boardcasters in the diffusion of anime.
A Zoomer/Gen Alpha connects to the web, download/watch his favourite anime with Italian subs (or AngloAmerican) subs. He can shitpost with people from France, Thailand, Brazil, Angola, Germany and Qonos about other anime, using tons of slurs.

Manga had an incredible diffusion, famous bookstores have almost 1/3 of their space full of manga and even merchandise.

For my knowledge
Wop Zoomers love Demon Slayer, My Dress-Up Darling, Tokyo Revengers, My Hero Academia and obviously DBZ/One Piece/Naruto-Boruto/Bleach.

Different tastes from their big brothers/parents/grandparents still fixated with the products of their youth.
So tons of "new edition" of HnK/Cat's Eye/Tiger Mask/DBZ/Rayearth/CCS/Saint Seiya/Sana in libraries.

Fun story: while I watched Remy as a kid, like for many other anime I never got to see the ending because of having to go back to school or other reasons. Last year I wanted to see the whole show again, and finally reaching the end where he decides to abandon his moms that he finally found after 50 episodes of suffering and to go back being homeless made me rage like nothing else in my life. I sincerely hope he died shortly after from being kidnapped or stuck in a snowstorm or from hunger like it happened many times before.

Everybody likes anime, Asians, Arabs, Slavs, African, Latinos, Europeans. Anglos are the only haters and now that they realized they are losing they are trying to ban anime.

It's probably easier to run a niche otaku store in every other country but America due to how areas are laid out

usa design philosophy is uniquely anti-human in favor of cars
also usa zoning laws mean you can't just buy a two story house in a residential area and convert the bottom into a store
