Thread 149351574

I've heard there's enough cult following for King of the Hill to the point they even have their own sub vs dub debates there.

Are there any /co/ works that are well-respected in Japan, or do they look down upon it all with shame?

>>149351574 (OP)
i know a japanese dude who's obsessed with western cartoons, that's all i will say.

>>149351574 (OP)
KoTH was only dubbed for the first season and it’s only like 3 autists on 2chan that care

>>149351574 (OP)
South Park and PPG were popular there from what I can recall

>>149351604
makes sense power puff girls
the magical kawaii girl element a la sailor moon

anime is just promos for manga, there's hardly any original animation there

western animation is all original.

>>149351574 (OP)
Westaboos are a thing
We've talked about them
We've had threads about them
Anyways, Japan fucking adores Tom & Jerry
There are plenty of Disney fans there
If a mangaka mentions being a fan of a western comic, it's usually going to be Hellboy (which might have influenced Majora's Mask's art direction)

>>149351646
>If a mangaka mentions being a fan of a western comic, it's usually going to be Hellboy (which might have influenced Majora's Mask's art direction)
Really? How so?

>>149351574 (OP)
I watched a youtube video about a similar topic and there was a long comment from a Japanese dude discussing western cape comics. He said that the Japanese people are interested in Marvel comics and characters, but that there simply isn't a good way to get invested into the universe. Single issues with japanese translations simply don't exist and collections and omnis are simply so much more expensive compared to mangs volumes. Doesn't help that there are only 3 stores in Tokyo and less than 20 in the entire country that sell western comics. I mostly comes down to Marvel and DC being retarded.

>>149351574 (OP)
King of the Hill is seen as the epitome of American Slice of Life animation and must be watched in it's native English with Japanese subtitles otherwise things are lost in translation.

>>149351690
>Today I still love American comics and fantasy art. While I was working on Majora's Mask, I was especially into the Hellboy series. Who knows? Maybe it's imagery influenced my own illustration style for the game.

It's the shading

>>149351621
>western animation is all original.
Lmao. Western animation is extremely fucking derivative. Anime originals alone have shown more originality than western toons.

>>149351720
I follow a bunch of westaboos
One of them was asked about it on tumblr and mentioned they're expensive and are rarely translated
Stuff like IDW Transformers, IDW Sonic, Heroes of Crisis (I remember Tom King showing off a cover in Japanese), etc do get translated and for a time Dogwelder was a popular character among westaboos
I know there are Peanuts fans as well
Anyways there are also western comic fanzines that date decades prior

Why are there so few people interested in western comics compared to all the westerners interested in manga?

>>149351574 (OP)
There’s fujo cape fans, mostly MCU though. But I once saw a Japanese girl calling out fan artists who drew Jason with a white streak without knowing the origin.

>>149351821
>few people
Meant to write few japanese people.

It's not strictly cartoons but the works of Gerry Anderson were VERY popular.

>>149351821
>>149351834
Same deal as here
Availability, affordability, and the on-surface assumption that it's nothing but capeshit
And throw in lack of translations

The Amazing Digital Circus is popular enough to be adapted to Corocoro and I've seen fan art of Hazbin Hotel.
There was plenty of Japanese fan art for Adventure Time, Steven Universe, MLP, Gravity Falls, etc
Studio Trigger is also filled to the brim with westaboos

>>149351841
Thunderbirds as well at least it's what influenced Star Fox

>>149351894
>Steven Universe
Now that's some garbage taste considering it's just an amalgamation of better anime and better sci-fi stories.

>>149351574 (OP)
Powerpuff Girls and South Park seem to be really big for some reason, while stuff like The Simpsons never took off much.
>>149351574 (OP)
>Are there any /co/ works that are well-respected in Japan, or do they look down upon it all with shame?
Plenty. They really love Tom and Jerry, and classic Disney. Some comics like Spider-Man were fairly big for a while too. Or at least the characters, like Spider-Man had his own Japanese show, not sure how big the comics themselves were. They comic certainly had fans there though.

Yeah, I don't know much.
Also Powerpuff Girls.
>See, you only know those two after all.
>And what's more, both are just for creepy/gross otaku
"I don't watch lame anime, I'm cool," huh? (lol)
Is this like a "high-minded" (i.e., pretentious) type of person?

Better?

If you could have any comic translated completely in Japanese (one you definitely know hasn't been translated) and handed to westaboos, what would you choose?

Spidey is big, thanks to the tokusatsu show.
Bats is recognised and liked.
Both are vastly overshadowed by Snoopy and Wacky Races. If you somehow came to own the Wacky Races IP, the japs would neatly line up and want to work with you.
Other capes are esoteric, you know you're dealing with a nerd if he talks about them.

Hate by Peter Bagge

>>149351574 (OP)
Disney is MASSIVE. Even the franchises and characters that and niche in America has massive fandoms there.
As in the Japanese are actually jealous of it and wish they had it as their own. They would trade all anime in a heartbeat for Disney to be theirs, the way people here would trade Disney for anime.
Its a greener side scenario

>>149351821
I think a major contributing factor is how there is absolutely no consistency in western comics. Hundreds upon hundreds of issues, all written and drawn by entirely different people, in just one given long-runner series. These runs are then subject to being part of a massive intertwining continuity that is guaranteed to contradict itself and, especially in the case of DC, is subject to major resets every decade or so. Where the fuck do you even start? Even with unending juggernauts like One Piece, at least all you have to do is go to Chapter One.
There just isn't a single artistic vision present in the popular stuff. People can rattle off mangakas that have been working on their shit for decades, but western artists and writers are just a tangle of "This guy sucks except for this run with this character, this other guy should be avoided entirely, this one is a footfag but has decent writing if HeroWoman isn't present"...
To the outside observer, it's just a bunch of Literally Whos that don't really have proper control over the stuff they're making.

>>149351574 (OP)
Idk if well respected but it's kinda like anons on /co/, with early CN stuff you had fanart/cross posting from deviantart/pixiv from Japanese fans or American movies like Coraline.

>>149351574 (OP)
They like the good ones (ie. golden age animation from the 20s-50s) but they don't really give a shit about the low budgety kiddy crap that was made for television.

>>149351574 (OP)
I have a good question. What was The Last Airbender and Kung Fu Panda viewed like in Japan?

>>149351621
>anime is just promos for manga, there's hardly any original animation there
I'll read all sorts of manga and so many of them are based off of light novels. Some of them just end and it was all just a way to get people to read the light novel. And I also find out that manga I've read has an anime adaptation. And sometimes there are web novels and webtoons for the same thing. If I read a manga or watch an anime, I can't care enough to check out the other. If one ends then that's it for me.

>>149353759
Do they? Or is it a generational thing?
>>149353765
ATLA didn't even make a blip over there, no idea about Kung Fu Panda but I think it was pretty well received in China. ATLA might've been a case of being too familiar but still a foreign enough interpretation of anime, you can look at Japanese Twitter for that. It's mostly nerds complaining that the characters are drawn with obvious ethnic features because they have prominently drawn noses or something, its really autistic desu.

>>149353765
>The Last Airbender

There's no reason for them to like this, they already have a hundred shows just like it that are better made.

>>149353660
Man I really hate how comics are forever stuck on capeshit now. Love the universes and the characters but a few good issues and adaptations every couple of years ain't worth the tons and tons of cheap mediocre dogshit being mass produced when all that industry could be going into original stuff with far more creativity and real passion behind it. The manga industry is far from perfect and I'm not saying capeshit should dissapear completely but we definitely should have a bigger opportunity for actual original comics in the west about anything other than that like horror stories, crime thrillers, fantasy or whatever without having to shoehorn those genres into the rusty ass batman mold or spiderman or X-men or whoever's for thousandth time

>>149353856
>Man I really hate how comics are forever stuck on capeshit now.
Stop reading Marvel and DC. There are so many other publishers you can be reading comics from.

>>149353802
>I'll read all sorts of manga and so many of them are based off of light novels.
I've read hundreds of manga and that is rarely the case. I don't think they even make 5% of all manga so maybe you were just unlucky.

>>149351574 (OP)
They're respected about as much there as they are here. Not very much.

>>149353998
Nah

>>149353979
It might be mostly a fantasy thing because there's no way only 5% of those came from light/web novels.

I'm not going to post anymore but it's not a new thing and it's not just fantasy. You'd be surprised how much manga and anime you've read and watched were originally novels of some kind.

>>149354031
I've already done the calculations in another /co/ thread long ago and like 3% of manga were based on lns. Search the thread in the archive.

>thinly-veiled East vs West thread

Interesting.

>>149351646
Isn't Wacky Race really popular there too? I've seen many anime that has references to that show.

>>149353998
Actually pretty well put. Some franchises like Disney and stuff like that are really popular among normalfags just like in western countries. But most otakus are into anime/manga/video games/toku/trains etc. Very few of them are into cartoons and comics in comparison. It's exactly like in the west in this aspect as well.

>>149353813
The main problem was it on Nick Japan, a pretty obscure cable channel.

>>149354144
Even among otaku, there's a hierarchy of obnoxiousness. The most annoying of all them are apparently train otaku, trainspotters.

>>149354180
>The most annoying of all them are apparently train otaku, trainspotters.
Yes, from what I've heard they can get pretty rude and violent if you mess with them and they are always blocking public spaces trying to get their precious train photos.

>>149354102
>These manga are based on a Light Novel.
>103,725
That's a big number and I recognize a lot of the newer ones. Of course most of them are fantasy. And if you sort it by year you see more and more getting adapted a year. Mid 2010s are when it really increases.
>These titles are based on a Web Novel.
>99,835
Not going to count this since I see an overlap of titles. Still there's probably a good number that's in this but not in the other. I'm also reminded that some back in the day were based off of games, a good number of them were eroge but stripped of h content.

>>149354237
>Not going to count this since I see an overlap of titles
Even if you increase it would still be 5-6% at most.

>>149351574 (OP)
Other than classic stuff like Tom and Jerry or kiddie stuff like Paw Patrol, South Park is the only cartoon show that I felt actually a bit populer in Japan
Of course you can find some Japs discussing King of the Hill online but it's pretty much nothing compared to South Park
Like, imagine there's Japanese /b/ and if you make a joke referencing South Park there, there would be some Japs who would get it, and that won't happen to King of the Hill, Family Guy, Steven Universe, and Samurai Jack or even the Simpsons.
So almost all Japs don't know enough about them to have any specific opinions

I started seeing American comics in Japan a bit after Dark Knight but they are basically collector's item
Capeshit movies are well known just like the rest of the world, though

>>149351574 (OP)
I know Japan loves the shit out of not just King of the Hill, but also Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Garfield, Mr. Bean, Simpsons, Beavis & Butthead, South Park, SpongeBob and Shrek. Japan can't get enough of slapstick humor

>>149354395
oh I forgot, they definitely love Tom & Jerry

>>149354395
All of those are relatively unpopular in Japan except Mr. Bean and South Park

>>149354421
I had a friend from Japan who knew that SpongeBob was popular for a short few years, but not in the same vein as either Tom & Jerry, Garfield or Mr. Bean

>>149351574 (OP)
Theyre are dedicated western /co/ shops in japan, its definitely a niche tho.
>there also obsessed with AVGN for some reason

>>149354354
This.
>>149354395
This is pretty false, there are a few fans for each of those but they are not as popular as you are describing.

>>149351646
Lord of the Rings is also very huge in Japan

That said, you'll never see something like Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy or American Dad be very popular in Japan despite having years of these shows picking on Japanese culture the same way South Park did, which ended up being popular in that country anyway

>>149354395
They love that Felix The Cat cartoon Jim Tyer worked on to the point the NES games still get ported to modern systems.

>>149354436
I'm pretty sure that Spongebob is actually more well-known than Garfield in Japan but most of those Japs who know Spongebob don't actually know what the Spongebob show is like.
Most of them just see it as a cute little mascot.
The Simpsons is like that too, many Japs know it but don't really know what it's actually about.

not really. Modern anime 2010s onward has been shit. Only stuff like Jojo, Watamote and Kill la Kill are exceptions, but modern anime is shit

>>149355487
Nope, there are plenty of great 2010s anime. Also modern all media is mostly bad. I still like SOVLnime.

>>149355462
live-action TV is way better than your shit taste. I recommend you try to watch Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Sopranos, 24, The Shield, House MD, Monk, Seinfeld, Cheers, Columbo, etc.

In denial of what? Yes the 2010s were mostly bad but there were still some fantastic CHADnime.

You giving up now, pussy? Are you scared of me? Cause my mother wants more. She wants you to fuck her in the cunt even more, even though you're scared for getting laid because you secretly trooned out. Also, you're not white, you're brown

I still like cape comics and will continue to buy/collect the ones I find interesting. Someone enjoying anime or manga doesn't really make a difference to me.

>>149355968
This. You should like all good stuff from every medium.

>>149352040
Is there a Japanese girl who's obsessed over other Adult Swim shows like either Robot Chicken or Rick & Morty?

>>149353660
I agree. I hate the lack of consistency in western comics. It's what you get when you put a shit ton of different writers and artists for the same character; they each want to add their own personal touch and views to the character, and the result is an inconsistent mess.

Comics or at least each character, like mangas, should have just ONE writer. Or at the very least, there should be one person who actually gave a fuck to the characters to supervise the whole thing and guarantee that it remains consistent despite going through different writers, telling the writer what to change in case they steered too far from what the character is supposed to be.

>>149355990
I agree with that. That being said, anime and manga isn't for me, just like cape comics aren't for someone too. I will stick to cape comics.

>>149356998
Acceptable, not much of a fan of cape comics myself but I don’t feel like taunting other fans with it.

A lot are really popular, westaboo is a thing. The authors of Trigun + Kekkai Sensen and Fire Force + Soul Eater are huge westaboos. Pixiv has a lot of J-drawn fanart for western shows including Rick and Morty, RWBY, and capeshit. Tiger and Bunny and Boku no Hero Academia are love letters to capeshit. Little Witch Academia is heavily Harry Potter inspired.

>>149353609
Ghibli is just Disney but better.

>>149354354
I went to Japan recently, they really love Snoopy and other boomer shit like that.

>>149357079
this is true and Spirited Away is so good

Daicon IV had some /co/ in it along with other Western stuff like Star Wars. So there were fans of American comics in Japan back in the 80s, even if they weren't huge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-840keiiFDE
~3:56 for comic stuff showing up

>>149357172
western comics are pretty niche in japan nowadays.

>>149357178
Yeah definitely. They're getting to be pretty niche here too, if we're being honest.

>>149351776
>>149351690
I had a weird trajectory into American comics through manga instead of vice versa.
As a kid, I got a free Pokemon manga from a mall event, an anime adaptation by Toshiro Ono. Turn out he is a big comic book fan, and I really liked his art. When I read an interview with him on the Viz website, he mentioned how he liked American comics like Hellboy and enjoyed the artist Walt Simonson. This was before the HB movue and before google image searcg so that was the first time I ever heard of Hellboy and was intrigued and sought him out

>>149351574 (OP)
Are there any /co/ works that are well-respected in Japan?
>Pretty much the entirety of the golden age of animation except the WWII stuff that made the entire country of Japan look like buck tooth hicks from Osaka.
>Pre-70s Hanna-Barbera, especially Wacky Races due to it's similarities to Speed Racer.
>Pre-Iger Disney, Iger Disney is ignored outside of Marvel or anything that was created by Disney Japan directly such as Square's Kingdom Hearts, the Stitch anime and some mobile gacha games.
>The Simpsons (seasons 1 though 8 (with 9's holdovers) only since some modern anime is taking ideas and plots from those seasons).
>Tiny Toon Adventures, but not the remaining Spielberg shows like Animaniacs (only 13 episodes aired, 47 dubbed).
>SpongeBob (which is popular everywhere).
>The Powerpuff Girls, all the way to the point that it got an anime spin off.
>My Life As A Teenage Robot, Kaiba wouldn't exist without it.
>Paw Patrol.
>Rick and Morty, all the way to the point that it got an anime spin off.

As for cult following status.
>King of The Hill.
>South Park.
>Avatar, but not Korra.
>Digital Circus, due to the show being blocked and banned in Japan due to the creator being a tranny and people there have to view it through a VPN but rich fans have set up doujinshi shops in Akihabara.
>>149351894
That was a fan doujin, that wasn't Corocoro as Corocoro is a major Japanese publication that has to follow Japan's ban list.

See above.

I've always wanted to see a take on Ghostrider done by a Kamen Rider production house.

>>149357379
>Rick and Morty, all the way to the point that it got an anime spin off.
The irony was the anime spinoff was disliked for not being like r&m.

>>149357454
Takashi Sano was a hack, thats why it failed, if they got Toshihiko Masuda and Kenji Hachizaki who ran TMS' foreign output back in the 90s and made it just like those 90s shows they ran TMS would've had another Conan on their hands.

>>Digital Circus, due to the show being blocked and banned in Japan due to the creator being a tranny and people there have to view it through a VPN but rich fans have set up doujinshi shops in Akihabara.
I don't believe that is real.

>>149357718
It is, as it's legal to beat up trannies in Japan since 2020.
Also Japanese normies hate LGBTQ+ people, but hate the TQ+ the most.

Most of Gainax and Trigger’s work is 100% original.

>>149357850
>Normies use Twitter
So do countless fake accounts and bots. It's not real, big chunks of it are fake.

>>149357857
Even the people that are real are often artificially pumped up. You can't use "this is big on Twitter" as an argument for reality because it's so easy to fake.

Not the case, Twitter isn't YouTube.

>The normies outcount the roll play and bot accounts.
Not really. Especially not when it comes to pushing any sort of narrative.
>Not the case, Twitter isn't YouTube.
It genuinely is the case. Twitter is fake as hell.

Isn't South Park considered a "casual" American cartoon to them? I remember seeing some Nips arguing and saying shit like "I bet the only show you've seen is South Park" (paraphrased, obviously).

One thing ive always been confused about was how many of the guys that directed and animated most of the best stuff anime had to offer were inspired by the most milquetoast and least animated stuff made from the west like hanna barbera copycat stuff from the 70s.
None of them claimed to be inspired to improve on what they saw.

Thank you, that was exactly what I was thinking of, but I missed the post scrolling too fast.

What are the "toys" in those commercials based on?

>>149357920
Twitter is legit, YouTube is the one with bot problems.
>>149352304
Only the first half of the 80s were toy commercials, the second half was when original ideas started coming to exist and the 90s exterminated the toy commercials and replaced it with actual entertainment.

>>149351646
>Anyways, Japan fucking adores Tom & Jerry
It's all of Asia. All of its charm is visual so there nothing to be lost in translation

>>149356435
No but there was one who was interested in Smiling Friends. She likes Charlie.

>>149357379
>The Simpsons (seasons 1 though 8 (with 9's holdovers) only since some modern anime is taking ideas and plots from those seasons)
Really? First I heard of Simpsons having any traction in Japan. Which anime and which Simpsons episodes?

>>149358101
There are characters that do speak (Spike, Mammy Two Shoes, the white people who appear in those 50s Tom and Jerry shorts that Mammy Two Shoes works for, some of the female cats Tom woos.), just not Tom and Jerry themselves (99% of the time).

The best directors are usually inspired by western and japanese cinema rather than cartoons.

Lupin Zero stole from Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment where there was a episode where shota Lupin and shota Jigen get drunk and that was stolen from Bart getting drunk in Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment.

To be fare Toshihiko Masuda worked on that episode (the only episode of Lupin Zero he worked on) and he followed Chuck Jones' advice, "If you have to steal from someone, steal from the best", and seeing that Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment is a John Swartzwelder episode, and a season 8 episode it is not surprising.

Shopped, the link features no Digital Circus and those images came from Sad Panda.
Please stop lying, it's clear that the lies you made about Twitter have already been debunked and now you're stealing from Sad Panda.
Just embarrassing.

>>149357379
>Digital Circus, due to the show being blocked and banned in Japan due to the creator being a tranny and people there have to view it through a VPN but rich fans have set up doujinshi shops in Akihabara.
Isn't there also a café themed around it? Are you allowed to use banned material in that way in Japan? Feels kinda backwards if you allow all this publicity and not allow the show.

>>149358264
>Shopped, the link features no Digital Circus
The link is literally Digital Circus' page on Corocoro

>>149358344
TADC won

>>149358306
Ran by a fan of TADC, not licensed.

Also Japan's bans are not that strict, every country that isn't the US uses VPNs all the time so thats how the Japanese can view TADC.

Also TADC's viewer count is rigged by bots, this has been gone over before in the past.

>>149358344
Shopped, please stop lying.
>>149358351
No, TADC lost.

>>149358365
Post evidence instead of your schizophrenic headcanon cuck.

>>149357379
>>Digital Circus, due to the show being blocked and banned in Japan due to the creator being a tranny and people there have to view it through a VPN

>>149358353
>Literally nothing but insane delusions
TADC is popular in Japan and you will never be more Japanese than TADC’s Japanese fans.

>>149358376
I did, you're the one who is posting schizophrenic headcanon shit.
Proof is over at >>149357743
>>149358378
No, that is the god's honest truth, JAPAN HATES TRANNIES!!!!

>>149358397
>Proof is over at [literal who xitter account]
You lost schizo, TADC’s Japanese fandom lives rent free in your mind.

>>149358391
No, very niche, not mainstream like One Piece and Conan.
You're delulu, seek help, the viewership count is rigged by bots.

>>149357379
Kys Famicom.

>>149358353
You sound like the dumbasses on /v/ denying Japan's love of Undertale

>>149358405
No, you lost.
Callem Aronsen is a extremely huge deal in Japan as everyone knows him.
https://x.com/NewZeaDanshi His current Twitter account.

>>149358431
Tbh the creator of undertale also loves japan and anime.

Japanese westaboo otaku have their own sub vs. dub arguments, but for general audiences it's far more likely for a western cartoon to get popularity if it has an official Japanese dub that isn't shit, like TADC does.

>>149358426
More shopped garbage stolen from unrelated content from Sad Panda.
You lost, good day sur.
>>149358431
Not as mainstream as Pokémon and Monster Hunter.

>>149358455
>Schizo melty

>>149354454
Western fantasy in general is has its fans there unless I'm mistaken
Elric of Melnibone is the common ancestor to the pretty boy albino swordsmen archetype and people have brought it up by the most prominent thing in Daicon IV aside from the heroine is Stormbringer itself

>>149358454
TADC does not have a Japanese dub, we been though this before as the series is banned in Japan because the creator is a Tranny.

Theres a niche fan base that bypasses the ban through a VPN but that it, TADC ISN'T CONAN!!!!!

>>149358455
>Not as mainstream as Pokémon and Monster Hunter.
Yeah sure but it's still ludicrously popular in Japan

>>149358459
No retardo, you're the schizo melty.

>>149358479
>TADC ISN'T CONAN!!!!!
By Chrom, was Conan also transcribed into oriental tongue!?

>>149358492

Not as much as you think.

>>149358496
Wrong Conan.

>>149358514
>>149358483
Arguing with famicom makes you a retard as well, you dumb monkey.

Source? Based if true?

>>149358532
Since when has Famicom given a shit about TADC?

>>149358532
Famicom has nothing to do with this you schizo.

Laura Haruna would never discriminate against LGBTQ people.

>>149358434
>Callem Aronsen is a extremely huge deal in Japan as everyone knows him.
He's a white guy playing netouyo
That's double pathetic

The dubs of Pixar films are done by well known comedians over there, I read it on Koji Kumeta’s blog.

>>149358553
NTA, only evidence I saw was the Japanese dub getting pulled, but then restored a few months later. No reason was given. If this is what anon is referring to, TADC got unbanned.

>>149358043
>Twitter is legit, YouTube is the one with bot problems.
You can keep repeating it, but it's not true. Twitter's bot problems are well-documented and obvious to anybody paying attention.

>>149359049
YouTube, not Twitter.
>>149358867
Such a thing doesn't exist you schizo.
>>149358579
LGBTQ+ people don't exist in Laura Haruna's world, tropes are played with some secondary characters (all over the age of 18 years old) but thats it.
>>149358652
Japan worships Callem Aronsen just as much as Shigeru Miyamoto, he is respected because he is a netouyo, and Japanese normies LOVE netouyos.

Do the japs have the same threads as this?
>Americans worship evangelion
>american people love naruto

>>149359196
No, it's actually...
>Americans worship Sazae-San
>American people love Chibi Maruko-Chan

Yep, it's Famicom

>>149359223
No, it's not, you schizo.
