That is what weeaboos always say. Not everyone cares about anime, and video games were invented in the United States in 1947.

I like anime, only because Japan is original with their modern-day cartoons. In America, you get these cartoons that are so typical and are mere marketing campaigns, like MLP.

Anime is a pretty basic concept. The drawings in anime generally follow the human instinct of what it considers "cute", e.g. big eyes, disproportionate limbs, which is derived from allowing us humans to consider our children "cute" and thus be protective of them.

I'm sure it would have eventually been invented by some other culture.

The anime eyes were stolen from Disney Movies such as Bambi and Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.

The video game crash was only in North America.

Games for computers don't really cost millions of dollars.

You do realize that the only reason people bought the NES was because it was marketed to be used with R.O.B., but Super Mario Bros just happened to be amazing.

Yu Gi Oh died after their first debut in 2004. - Yufioh is still going on

Pokemon is just living off of new pokemon releases, that show sucks now. - But they are still marketing toys and video games and card games to kids

Bakugan is not that great to begin with. - But they are still marketing toys and video games and card games to kids

Sonic X has been forced to rarely televised childrens channels. - But it was marketing the Sonic video games

What the heck is duel masters? - ..........

OP, his point is that the anime listed are irrelevant, and do not speak for all the anime produced in Japan.

Rather, I suggest the following:

>The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
>Gurren Lagann
>Cowboy Bebop
>Neon Genesis Evangelion
>AKIRA
>Clannad
>Death Note

There's a list that does a bit better job of representing the anime most people refer to.

As for Activision, their sales were in the toilet by 1984, as were the sales of ANYTHING in the video game industry at the time.

It wasn't until the release of the NES that the industry FINALLY came back to life.

He said Japanese cartoons don't market and try to sell stuff to kids, that's why I listed them.

No, you listed them because you were trying to assert that anime is not original and/or are identically conceptually to Western animation.

The list of anime I quickly complied says otherwise.

"By 1982, a glut of consoles, over-hyped game releases, and low-quality games from new third-party developers less well-prepared than Activision began to appear, overflowing the shelf capacity of toy stores. Partly due to this surplus, the video game industry crashed, beginning in December 1983 and stretching through all of 1984. Almost no new games were released in 1984."

That is an opinion and Japan also has sitcoms.

That sounds like dark humor, which is common in British entertainment

@super

Pokemon was never intended to be a marketing campaign, it just became popular and they needed to expand their franchise to keep people happy.

Those are too mainstream anyways and poor examples of anime. I'm talking Code Geass, Death Note, Bleach, Naruto, Elfen Lied...you know, GOOD anime.
