The Boom Effect in American entertainment

Anime has really been a modern entertainment in the World these days. Even back in the days when the Japanese made a boom in entertainment when it comes to animation. Surprisingly it has change much more today every Anime seekers out there are buying Manga, Games, and others things where you can find anything that is Anime.

Since I already had a glimpse of the past in the Anime in the Philippines I want to discover more in other countries. I mean how was other countries effected by Anime. I mean I've seen on TV a lot of foreign people going to Japan and enjoying their culture. So I've done a research about this and found an article entitled Otaku Nation: Anime's Effect on American Pop Culture by Anthony Chatfield.

It tackles here,

1960's - Anime first entered US market. Since Japan's filmmakers was experimenting on Westerns animation. Though their shows never came in effect that Anime before had suffer in the US market and didn't show much impression to the foreigners. Although when Speed Racer was shown in America they had experienced and discovered a new kind of entertainment. That targeted a lot of fans demand on watching more of this shows but it made little attraction to viewers.

Back then Beta and VHS was introduced in 1980's that made possible to some viewers to watch any Anime.  Since it was a time for technological involvement that Anime penetrated the Americans Cartoons that became truly possible. 

Until Akira Toriyama appeared in 1989 that made credible with viewers that stated: "Receiving only a limited American screen release, few saw it in initial release, but the copying of VHS tapes and word of mouth made it something of a cult sensation. Those that knew of Akira were fans for life, eagerly awaiting their chance to partake more and more of the growing trends out of Japan." 

This standouts that Anime was starting to attract more and more. Starting making Japan the boom in their career.

By 1980's had seen a promising success of Dragon Ball and Gundam started: "The explosion of the manga industry before hand, with serializations of works by Akira Toriyama and Katsuhiro Otomo in the early 80s simmered in the youth of Japan and finally seeing the commercial possibilities of these works, creating in the process a major conglomerate of companies in the Akira Committee to bring the massive budget of Akira to fruition."

After that Japan started being dedicated in producing Anime because of the rising achievement. With just simple drawing with more artist working with just one project that makes one episode per week. 

"The ability to serialize and turn a story into something that millions of youths would tune into each and every week made companies billions (of yen) and secured the kinds of commercial sponsorships and funding necessary to undertake incredible projects that would require vast sums of money to complete."

Executives were seeing the effect of the Anime in Japan's potential. Making the popular anime in their local channels like Dragon Ball and Sailor moon.

"All the while companies like Manga, Funimation, and Viz were buying up licenses and releasing little known, untraceable shows that no one knew the origin of. The shows were treated poorly, often dubbed and cut up to match American audiences."

 "The Japanese ability to cross genre and the extremely high production values that started to go into shows made in the late 90s and beyond meant amazing shows that appealed not just to children but to adults and beyond."

In overview of all, Anime in American markets wasn't much desirable in the past years. As time passes by you can see more and more people can tell the newly kind of entertainment that sparked the foreigners into loving Anime. As you can see foreign people nowadays are the firsts ones who could experience the reading manga, game development and fansub animes in their country.
