>western anime

Yes. The Peanuts, Winnie the Pooh, Disney movies, and other misc. cartoons are popular in Japan too. They even have their own Disney Land

Cartoons are anime.
Anime are cartoons.

Disneyfags are so bad in Japan that they created anime. Now go back to the website you originally came from.

I wonder how westerners are attracted to Japanese animation's drawing style.

Anime girls only have big eyes because they were inspired by Betty Boop.

Also the American soldiers that came to the cities to help clean up the mess after the nuclear bombings. They never saw eyes like that before then.

I guess he was asking about the western animation otakus
there surely are some but It's probably super rare

Japanese people obssess over American Culture in general and so does the rest of the world.

Somewhere in Japan two nerds are arguing on whether it's better to watch King of the Hill dubbed or subbed.

And the answer is subbed, obviously.

You haven't seen King of the Hill until you watched in Japanese like the creators intended.

There's a huge classic Disney cult in Japan. Classic Disney animation inspired much of early Japanese animation and the post-war animation renaissance. Beyond this there's a lot of gun, car, and train model nerds who love US material.

Model trains in general just unite the autists of all major countries.

It started even before Disney, but Disney helped and cemented it.

Japanese girls are so stylish.

This. They like to pretend they still have their cute little countries with cultures of their own, but everyone knows we've been living on Planet AMERICA for a while now (and that's a good thing). God bless this country.

AMERICA!!! AMERICA!!!!!
GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE
AND CROWN THY GOOD WITH BROTHERHOOD
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA!

Why do you people never adress the fact that mainstream international culture is an Anglo monopoly? The only non-Anglo country that has managed to find a significative international market for their cultural products is Japan, and even then we're mostly talking about anime and products related to anime.
We need more countries following the steps of Japan and importing their culture, not less.

Exactly.
Except for anime, most countries don't consume foreign culture that isn't made by Americans/Anglos. They are frequently convinced than culture made by Anglos is 'cooler' than their own.

>Tripfag is ban evading
Kill yourself already

I'm not banned. You're an idiot.

Not many but there are plenty of westaboos who obsess over western video games and hollywoodshit.

Kenichi Smith is a legend.

You should be, your posts got removed yesterday.
You should also kill yourself you pathetic attention seeking faggot
Your posts are garbage and your identity is unnecessary

Do us all a favour, and your parents too, and your own life.

Japanese refer to even the Minions movies as "anime". It comes from the word アニメーション (animation), and they shorten a a shit ton of words. So technically yes, ALL animation regardless of place of origin/style is anime.
