What got you hooked? Tell us in the comments!
As kid i watch a lot thinks before i knew what anime was like Voltron and others, but my first anime it was Rurouni Kenshin, is when i thought for the first time that a "cartoon" it can be not only funny but it can had other aspects, like Drama, a better type of Action, it was so different and it still is
I remember watching fairy tail anime during middle school and not telling ANYONE about it until high school in 2017 when I started finding friends who had my same interest.
I've watch Fairy Tail around 2014 and not told anybody about it around until 2017 and I'm like when did I want to shut myself away from talking about it

Yup. Have to give Adultswim its credit. It helped introduced a lot of fans to more mature anime characters and stories, long before we had the option of streaming services. As great as a lot of our introductory anime on Toonami was, American networks still aimed them at younger audiences
I remember toonami and aldo ytv had an anime block on Fridays and i think Saturdays. it was 11pm to 2am. i remember dbz and.sailor moon during the day, but that night hours was Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and a few others that would change
I also want to thank Adult Swim for their part in making English dubbing so much better than it was back in the mid to late 90’s. It’s like the distributors respected the work and wanted the dubs to do the source material justice!
I remember when I first got into anime most people kept quiet about their interest in it but nowadays people talk about it openly and advertisements for it are more common than they used to be. I’m happy to be living in the age of technology where we can access anime soon after it airs and don’t have to buy the Blu-ray disks to watch episodes.
Early 80's: what is this Battle of the Planets? I *like* it! By 2015 anime was already around the world. Y'all are late comers. Not a bad thing, though.
I gotten into anime back in middle school in 96 and everybody hated me for liking anime. They see me as a freak just because I like watching anime and most of them wanted me dead. I'm a grown ass adult and to this day I still love watching anime. Haters are going to hate but we otakus will live forever live on
@@justinratcliffe947 To be honest, I never thought there were haters who do not understand anime and Otaku, because I kept my Otaku side a secret for so long. I am glad there is a community for this type of culture.

When was that, relatively? When did it blow up? To be clear, I am asking for a year, or a more general time period. Like was this 2015? In the 2010s? The 90s? That is what I am asking.
@@garrettevans9193 Yes Godzilla, the iconic monster that destroys Tokyo and fights other monsters. There have been 2 Godzilla anime made. One a series that came out last year called Godzilla Singular Point and the other a trilogy of anime films. Neither are that great.
And now anime movies are competing against other American movies at the box office! It’s crazy how far anime has came a few decades ago and I’m here for it!
Anime will always be in my memories, some Pokémon shows, Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto, and Yugioh are the ones I remembered so much back then!!!
I remember growing up in the 90's in the UK and everyone loved Pokemon and DBZ more than anything, also people say they hate dubs but if not for dubs lots of people outside of japan probably wouldn't be interested in subtitles, I never sore an anime on tv that was not dubbed
DBZ and anime was very common with kids of the TV of the 80’s and 90’s. These kids grew up and are now in their 30’s-40’s and are the nostalgia mainstream of today.
Honestly nobody was made fun of in my elementary, middle, and high school for watching anime, video games, or geeky stuff like superheroes. I mean it was everywhere. On walls, class watching anime, art class drawing some anime, teachers playing videogames, etc. ... I am grateful for being apart of early gen Z. :)
Anime had done more than what this video can focus on. It had help to inspire change in how animated films are made today. For example, the 1990's Batman animated series and its spinoff Batman Beyond have some elements of anime noticeable in each of the the two series.
For me, growing up and going to school in the early 2000’s, there were two types of anime fans, the “nerds” who usually get picked on, and the more rougher, “ghetto minorities” group, who will fight back against bullies! I hanged out with both groups at school and often talk about anime with them! Good times!
I was in middle school when I discovered Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z. As far as tv though another not often brought up program was Scifi Channel's Saturday Anime block which would air the more adult anime movies like Akira, Project A-ko, Vampire Hunter D and Robot Carnival to name a few. This was half a decade before Adult Swim came on the scene.I was also a watcher of Toonami during high school as well as Pokemon. Started going to a local anime club when anime fansubs on VHS were still in use. Also, went to scifi conventions with anime programming and later anime cons. So the rise of anime in the 90's was a big deal throughout my teen years. I was a fan when anime was still a niche all the way to becoming a pop culture phenomenon.
I was watching anime back in the late 70s early 80s, with Astro Boy, Speed Racer and Gatchaman. We had a hard time finding manga, it was super rare and hard to find.
Compare the Big 3 OG Anime to the Justice League Trilogy: Dragon Ball Z is Batman, Pokemon is Superman and Sailor Moon is Wonder Woman. Yeah, it's crazy but it's seems true.
@@Deviant69 well jojo is more famous with people already well versed in the world of anime, Its probably the one of the worst anime to get into the culture, the starting 9 eps are really slow and bad compared to the rest of the series, these days the 3 episode rule makes it very difficult for the newbies
I would add that I find fascinating how the anime history is different from latin america's perspective. We had a lot of anime in the 70s and 80s like heidi, candy candy, princesa caballero, robinson family and many more. For instance, Japan and México had always had a friendly relationship even so that we got to enjoy many animes without the edits. Dragon Ball is even part of our pop culture. And I would say Latin America was determinant for the success it has in America nowadays.
I think not including series that were extremely popular in countries other than the US is a major oversight. Series like Saint Seiya and Cardcaptor Sakura - just to mention a few - changed the game in countries like Brazil, France and Mexico.
@@SlapstickGenius23 That's the point, and many of their VA's are sexual predators. Lets list off a few things that some of them did. Amanda Winn Lee: Shoved her tongue down a 15 year old girls throat at a convention (with out consent, like that even matters) Monica Rial: Willingly had herself paddle spanked at a convention in front of an audience that had children in it. Chris Sabats: Casting couch accusations. Chris .S & Sean .S: The apparent "outtake" called the sacred ointment. Chris & Sean : implying another VA was a child predator because they did the voices of many young characters. This is just the very tip of the iceberg.
I hope we get a tease of DBS2. Having the Moro arc in anime would be something I buy that for a Zeni. Gohan and Piccolo better be more prominent/relevant as they were in the Tournament of Power arc.
I got my friend into it a few years ago when it was still a subject youd be outdcasted for. They asked me why I watched it cause they thought it was a very childlike genre. Then I showed him the scene where killua ripped the heart out of that serial killer and he was like "OH"
@@sonicthehedgehog1606 and nobody got problem with. Look at Jojo Bizzare, its cringe and hilarious but not changing the fact that I still enjoy it whelie eating my popcorn and soda.
In my high school/ middle school there was a specific group people who were obsessed with anime (myself included) AND NOW EVERYONE WATCHES ATTACK ON TITAN. We used to get made fun off for watching anime🤣
To be honest I am thankful to a friend of mine whom opened my eyes and told me about anime and from the last 6 years I had been watching anime and reading manga
I personally think that the popularity of the Godzilla series, Astro Boy, Speed Racer, led to creators at Dic, and Saban bringing the likes of Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball to the west. And of couse Pokemon. Between that and the Miramax Gibli releases led to the 90s anime boom
I grew up watching DBZ, Pokémon, Yugioh, which led me to read series like Bleach, Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist as a teen. Now as an adult I have no problem going to the manga section at Barnes & noble, buying anime merch and watching anime on my free time 🥳 I do remember though people thought it was weird when I was in middle school and high school. Now it’s crazy to see how popular it is!
Pokemon Yugioh & DBZ always been popular plus everybody know about astro boy & speed racer. anime alway been popular but it was not call anime it was call cartoons.
Did you know about the undubbed seasons of some anime 4Kids never got to? There was the later half of Tokyo Mew Mew (Mew Mew Power), a whole nother season of Ojamajo Doremi (Magical DoReMj), season 4 of YGO GX and 5Ds.

I mean it doesn’t surprise me at one time kids got picked on for liking comic books and now the number one one of all time is a superhero movie. Anime wasn’t far behind just glad I’m around to witness it
Early to Mid 80's is when I got into anime with Voltron and my ultimate favourite Robotech, then in the 90's Record of the Lodoss War, Slayers, Akira, Ghost in the Shell.
Bro, liking anime in high school was social suicide. But its still amazing. The influence and inspiration i got from it is unfathomable. Thank you Japan 🙌🏽❤️
I think the biggest reason at least in the 90s anime took off is because American animation was expensive and the broadcasters needed SOMETHING to put on air. The answer, import it from Japan, hire Canadian voice actors for dirt cheap, edit it to meet USA standards, call it a show, and collect the profits. It was lazy AND effective at the same time.
Cowboy Bebop deserved to be Honorably Mentioned in this video. Also, Voltron was mentioned without recognizing Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets) that preceded it, Robotech (that came out at the same time) nor Gundam (that followed it) is glaringly short-sighted: I'll chalk it up to time allotted for this piece to run.
I also had the experience of not telling anyone I watched anime until 2016/2017. DBZ is definitely the 'gateway' anime, but the problem is that DBZ was created during a time when the internet wasn't even a thing, so the anime phenomenon couldn't get a grip to be normalized into pop culture. Anime has been seen for a long time as a bunch of kids shows simply because there weren't enough anime which could appeal to a broad adult population. It started to normalize after 2016/2017 because of the giant hits like AOT and HxH and Netflix providing anime to the broad masses.
I was 1 of those kids who bought dbz fansubbed tapes. 10 bucks was about 7 episodes per tape. I bought all the z episodes, all the gt episodes and all the movie/specials.

What anime did YOU grow up watching? What got you hooked? Tell us in the comments!
As kid i watch a lot thinks before i knew what anime was like Voltron and others, but my first anime it was Rurouni Kenshin, is when i thought for the first time that a "cartoon" it can be not only funny but it can had other aspects, like Drama, a better type of Action, it was so different and it still is
dbz was popular.
now tubi does not have it. netflix does not stream it. the dbz dvds are out of print.
@@elmurdoc Voltron is Go Lion in Japan.
Kenshin is great. Kenshin is my 3rd favorite anime franchise.
Demon Slayer The Movie is more popular than spirited away.
I prefer Ninja Scroll The Movie to akira.
YYH is my second favorite anime franchise.
Zeta Gundam should have been in walmart. Sailor Moon was hated in 1996. donna texas sucks.
I remember watching fairy tail anime during middle school and not telling ANYONE about it until high school in 2017 when I started finding friends who had my same interest.
bro same I was in middle school watching fairy tail in 2013 on Comcast on-demand what it Xfinity now. I wait every Friday for it.
Really you never heard most people not talk about since dragonball and Naruto,Pokémon got more popular
I've watch Fairy Tail around 2014 and not told anybody about it around until 2017 and I'm like when did I want to shut myself away from talking about it

Adult Swim also played a huge part in popularizing Anime.
Adult swim and toonami is how i started watching anime
Yup. Have to give Adultswim its credit. It helped introduced a lot of fans to more mature anime characters and stories, long before we had the option of streaming services. As great as a lot of our introductory anime on Toonami was, American networks still aimed them at younger audiences
I remember toonami and aldo ytv had an anime block on Fridays and i think Saturdays. it was 11pm to 2am. i remember dbz and.sailor moon during the day, but that night hours was Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and a few others that would change
I also want to thank Adult Swim for their part in making English dubbing so much better than it was back in the mid to late 90’s. It’s like the distributors respected the work and wanted the dubs to do the source material justice!
Adult swim is like the younger twin brother. Toonami was born a couple minutes earlier but they’re both loved equally...toonami just kicked it off
2015: I'm the only anime fan in class
2021: we're making fun of the weird people who don't watch anime.
Same 😂
I remember when I first got into anime most people kept quiet about their interest in it but nowadays people talk about it openly and advertisements for it are more common than they used to be. I’m happy to be living in the age of technology where we can access anime soon after it airs and don’t have to buy the Blu-ray disks to watch episodes.
Early 80's: what is this Battle of the Planets? I *like* it!
By 2015 anime was already around the world. Y'all are late comers. Not a bad thing, though.
Let’s kick their ass after zoom. 😂😂😂😂😂 wit da gomu gomu no pistol and if you’re a dub watcher we will give you a swirly and kick your ass.
@@taydagoldenphoenix watching in dub is the supreme way to watch anime. Dub is always better than sub!
I gotten into anime back in middle school in 96 and everybody hated me for liking anime. They see me as a freak just because I like watching anime and most of them wanted me dead. I'm a grown ass adult and to this day I still love watching anime. Haters are going to hate but we otakus will live forever live on
I agree. There is nothing wrong with anime.
I empathize with you. My love for anime has cost me any and all respect from people too. But I still love it
@@justinratcliffe947 To be honest, I never thought there were haters who do not understand anime and Otaku, because I kept my Otaku side a secret for so long. I am glad there is a community for this type of culture.
@@taylorechols1435 But with all the growing hate for anime and its fanbase, how long will it last?

I also would like to thank Japan for their impact and contributions to video games!
I literally started watching anime just before it blew up. I still remember them days when being the 'anime guy' was more lower then geeks and nerds.
I feel ya there. Being a Godzilla fan as a kid made me an outcast even among nerds.
When was that, relatively? When did it blow up? To be clear, I am asking for a year, or a more general time period. Like was this 2015? In the 2010s? The 90s? That is what I am asking.
@@garrettevans9193 Yes Godzilla, the iconic monster that destroys Tokyo and fights other monsters. There have been 2 Godzilla anime made. One a series that came out last year called Godzilla Singular Point and the other a trilogy of anime films. Neither are that great.
And now anime movies are competing against other American movies at the box office! It’s crazy how far anime has came a few decades ago and I’m here for it!
Anime will always be in my memories, some Pokémon shows, Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto, and Yugioh are the ones I remembered so much back then!!!
I remember growing up in the 90's in the UK and everyone loved Pokemon and DBZ more than anything, also people say they hate dubs but if not for dubs lots of people outside of japan probably wouldn't be interested in subtitles, I never sore an anime on tv that was not dubbed
Dbz dub is goated
@@ronaldonwoke2004 fax
Yeah interesting
I grew up with anime in 90"s to butt i was born in United States of America would your birth year be 1989 to
The last time I was this early, Kakarot only had one dragon ball

There should be an episode of this series for Godzilla and Kaiju because it was basically geek culture!
Yes, how giant monsters shaped our childhoods FOREVER, King Kong definitely holds a special place in my happy heart!!!
ooh
U hv more likes than the channel's
@@stevencisneros9306 same, King Kong is my favorite kaiju!
@@WHOOOSHXDOfficial absolutely 🤘🦍🤘
DBZ and anime was very common with kids of the TV of the 80’s and 90’s. These kids grew up and are now in their 30’s-40’s and are the nostalgia mainstream of today.
Honestly nobody was made fun of in my elementary, middle, and high school for watching anime, video games, or geeky stuff like superheroes. I mean it was everywhere. On walls, class watching anime, art class drawing some anime, teachers playing videogames, etc.
... I am grateful for being apart of early gen Z. :)
Not me. I’m part of early gen z and I got made fun of all the time for liking anime. Elementary and in middle school
Missed Opportunity to have Ashley host this video, but I'm not complaining.
Yes
True but I love hearing Rebecca’s voice more lol
Both of thier voices are really nice.
I just watch so much anime an Ashley voices most of it
And Todd haberkorn
Imagine doing half this stuff in 2010 when all the heat anime was coming out. People banwagoned and came over to the right side
its weird that everybody loves it now, I got looked at as a straight weirdo for liking Anime in school
I feel ya there, got picked on alot for it. Now those people are into it as well.
It's like that for video games too, which is weird.
same here man. now its widely acceptable just as much as superheroes maybe even bigger now that manga is beating the sales of comics
born to soon my friend
@@Nintendofan781 Dude Manga is raping comics a million times over I mean it's crazy man
Dragon Ball Z holds a place in my heart because it was my first anime I saw when I was a kid
yes.. same.
like I knew of Speed Racer bc of my uncle but BDZ is what I chose to watch
Same. Ocean Dub was true shit back then...
until Funimation came
Anime influenced me to become a great artist.
Please do Top 10 Anime voice actors that you didn’t know were in Live-Action TV.
Ooh, that's a great idea!
Brolys actor should be in that list
I got picked on SEVERELY in elementary and middle school for watching anime lol. I’m glad it’s popular now though
Don't be now will come the people trying to cancel and change Anime fro not being x,y,z, and what not.
Same man i got in one to many fight because i love anime
Now its time for u to pick on the bodybuilders and sportsmen.
2034:
gets picked on for not watching anime
It’s pretty cool that coworkers would recommend an Anime show to stream just in casual conversation and nobody really gives a second thought about it.
Anime had done more than what this video can focus on. It had help to inspire change in how animated films are made today. For example, the 1990's Batman animated series and its spinoff Batman Beyond have some elements of anime noticeable in each of the the two series.
Anime will be forever in our hearts for a long time.
Anime Influenced me to do great art.
@@artismbyjoey779 yea i know.

I remember when I used to get bullied for liking anime.
I'm glad kids today don't have to deal with as much bullying for liking Japanese cartoons.
I am Indonesian I thought for my longest time, that Anime is just an Asian thing western viewers would never understand.
Really you got bullied for liking anime when you were younger
Dude, you should just go Super Saiyan on them.
For me, growing up and going to school in the early 2000’s, there were two types of anime fans, the “nerds” who usually get picked on, and the more rougher, “ghetto minorities” group, who will fight back against bullies! I hanged out with both groups at school and often talk about anime with them! Good times!
I was in middle school when I discovered Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z. As far as tv though another not often brought up program was Scifi Channel's Saturday Anime block which would air the more adult anime movies like Akira, Project A-ko, Vampire Hunter D and Robot Carnival to name a few. This was half a decade before Adult Swim came on the scene.I was also a watcher of Toonami during high school as well as Pokemon. Started going to a local anime club when anime fansubs on VHS were still in use. Also, went to scifi conventions with anime programming and later anime cons. So the rise of anime in the 90's was a big deal throughout my teen years. I was a fan when anime was still a niche all the way to becoming a pop culture phenomenon.
I was just in elementary school when I discovered sailor moon and dragon ball z
2005: Bullied for watching anime
2020: Bullied for not watching anime
Lol 😂
I was watching anime back in the late 70s early 80s, with Astro Boy, Speed Racer and Gatchaman. We had a hard time finding manga, it was super rare and hard to find.
I watched a lot of anime since I was 8 and over the years I can say anime is one of the best things ever 😍💜💜
lol i read the title as "how greek culture became pop culture"
same man. gotta love the greeks
Wouldn't that be something
That could be another video too. But let's be honest, Percy Jackson will the leading reason
Dragon Ball,Sailor Moon and Pokemon are still the Big three OG and definitely define many childhoods.
sad gaogaigar noises because he was released when pokemon showed up and no EN subs
Compare the Big 3 OG Anime to the Justice League Trilogy: Dragon Ball Z is Batman, Pokemon is Superman and Sailor Moon is Wonder Woman. Yeah, it's crazy but it's seems true.
@@irving-jotario9808 Dang, that crazy.
I hope Anime is never forgotten.
It won't be
It never will
It will never be forgotten because it serves good purpose!
@@lacrimosaknight it will in time
Every smash fanboy and furry still say otherwise
I wish they had talked more about modern anime like attack on titan and my hero academia, ALSO HOW DID THEY NOT EVEN MENTION DEATH NOTE!
And code geass or NGE
and JoJo
@@Deviant69 well jojo is more famous with people already well versed in the world of anime, Its probably the one of the worst anime to get into the culture, the starting 9 eps are really slow and bad compared to the rest of the series, these days the 3 episode rule makes it very difficult for the newbies
adnan hussain fair enough
Because the ones they mentioned are the ones that paved the way
so no one is going to talk about samuel l jackson memeing a 18+ meme at the end
Ive been watching so much anime from all forms but lately ive finally started watching Studio Ghibili anime and im in love 🥺❤️
Cowboy Bebop, Lupin the Third, Outlaw Star, Ghibli films, Akira, Ghost in the Shell '95, and The Big O are my personal favorites.
the taste that you have
"🎊🎉Happy new year everyone and to all a good night🎊🎉"
Go Lion now.
Macross needs a mention. I never saw ghibli as a kid. Except for Little Nemo.
Man I remember coming home from school and watching DBZ/ Pokemon and later pleading with my dad to stay up later to watch Yuyu Hakusho on Adult Swim.
Goddammit that scene with pikachu zapping ash was too much all at once, i instantly started to cry 😢
I would add that I find fascinating how the anime history is different from latin america's perspective. We had a lot of anime in the 70s and 80s like heidi, candy candy, princesa caballero, robinson family and many more. For instance, Japan and México had always had a friendly relationship even so that we got to enjoy many animes without the edits. Dragon Ball is even part of our pop culture. And I would say Latin America was determinant for the success it has in America nowadays.
Loving this series watchmojo!!! Thank you for all these episodes!!
I'm loving this series. Keep up the excellent work!
thank you, toonami. ❤️
I think not including series that were extremely popular in countries other than the US is a major oversight. Series like Saint Seiya and Cardcaptor Sakura - just to mention a few - changed the game in countries like Brazil, France and Mexico.
Idea for an anime related video. Top 10 horrendous things Funimation VA's have done to the industry.
Seconded
Funimation is crap now.
I'm now scared bc Funimation bought Crunchyroll
@@SlapstickGenius23 That's the point, and many of their VA's are sexual predators.
Lets list off a few things that some of them did.
Amanda Winn Lee: Shoved her tongue down a 15 year old girls throat at a convention (with out consent, like that even matters)
Monica Rial: Willingly had herself paddle spanked at a convention in front of an audience that had children in it.
Chris Sabats: Casting couch accusations.
Chris .S & Sean .S: The apparent "outtake" called the sacred ointment.
Chris & Sean : implying another VA was a child predator because they did the voices of many young characters.
This is just the very tip of the iceberg.
Crazy how anime is so common now, like nobody even bats an eye to it in schools now a days, it’s so popular
9:03 Any REAL anime fan should know Samuel L. Jackson was Afro Samurai.
Pokémon, Yugioh, and Hamtaro were a part of my childhood as well.
I hope we get a tease of DBS2. Having the Moro arc in anime would be something I buy that for a Zeni. Gohan and Piccolo better be more prominent/relevant as they were in the Tournament of Power arc.
Nice bet! The final and longest part of the manga will become a sequel series to the 131 DBS episodes.
I hope so
Shoutout to all the kids that went through high school when anime was “gay” or “for weirdos”. Born too soon 🤟
I think it was around the Sao & Aot era when anime really became common & super popular.
yeah same
I got my friend into it a few years ago when it was still a subject youd be outdcasted for. They asked me why I watched it cause they thought it was a very childlike genre. Then I showed him the scene where killua ripped the heart out of that serial killer and he was like "OH"
Anime is a beautiful medium....
And cringe
@@sonicthehedgehog1606 and nobody got problem with. Look at Jojo Bizzare, its cringe and hilarious but not changing the fact that I still enjoy it whelie eating my popcorn and soda.
@@standheaykic66 everywhere I go. Jojo fans keep say that same shit and saying " IS tHAT a jOjO rEfREnCe"

3:38 now I can see what Kiba and Akamaru from Naruto was inspired by
Jeremy Klien started to bringing anime to skateboard in 1994
Anime is about to become the new culture for every culture.
For me Inuyasha was my gateway anime. The first one I knew was anime and not just a cartoon. I remember staying up late to watch it on adult swim.
Inuyasha is my favorite besides SAO and Pokemon.

Happy new year from England
In my high school/ middle school there was a specific group people who were obsessed with anime (myself included) AND NOW EVERYONE WATCHES ATTACK ON TITAN. We used to get made fun off for watching anime🤣
My friend recommended me Sword Art Online, Assassination Classroom, and Junji ito Collection a couple years ago since I've been watching anime
To be honest I am thankful to a friend of mine whom opened my eyes and told me about anime and from the last 6 years I had been watching anime and reading manga
it's the new comics. It's sparked a whole new generation of fans and now they're still enjoying it.
I personally think that the popularity of the Godzilla series, Astro Boy, Speed Racer, led to creators at Dic, and Saban bringing the likes of Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball to the west. And of couse Pokemon. Between that and the Miramax Gibli releases led to the 90s anime boom
I grew up watching DBZ, Pokémon, Yugioh, which led me to read series like Bleach, Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist as a teen. Now as an adult I have no problem going to the manga section at Barnes & noble, buying anime merch and watching anime on my free time 🥳 I do remember though people thought it was weird when I was in middle school and high school. Now it’s crazy to see how popular it is!
Pokemon Yugioh & DBZ always been popular plus everybody know about astro boy & speed racer. anime alway been popular but it was not call anime it was call cartoons.
Remember South park, the Simpsons & Family guy are cartoons people just call anime cartoons but besides that they alway been popular
Yeah it’s more mainstream now
The 2010’s hade some of the best Anime as well, My Hero, Attack on Titan, and One Punch Man to name a few

Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z got me into anime as a kid in the 90’s
Does anyone remember that 4kids changed some dialogs in Pokemon to make it sound like Ash and Misty had something special?
No
Did you know about the undubbed seasons of some anime 4Kids never got to? There was the later half of Tokyo Mew Mew (Mew Mew Power), a whole nother season of Ojamajo Doremi (Magical DoReMj), season 4 of YGO GX and 5Ds.
They had the rights to Futari wa Precure (which is successful franchise in Japan now to the likes of Toei's other original IPs like Kamen Rider and Sentai) but Magical DoReMi didn't do so hot and all they wanted from that deal was One Piece
Really like this TH-cam series. Keep it up WatchMojo!!

The Pokémon movie was the first anime movie we all seen as kids in theaters in the west. We all cried when ash died.
I mean it doesn’t surprise me at one time kids got picked on for liking comic books and now the number one one of all time is a superhero movie. Anime wasn’t far behind just glad I’m around to witness it
Happy new year❤️ hope it will be better than 2020
I thought my first anime were DBZ, Pokemon and YuGiOh cuz that’s what was on TV as I grew up, but now I realize it might just be Speed Racer
Early to Mid 80's is when I got into anime with Voltron and my ultimate favourite Robotech, then in the 90's Record of the Lodoss War, Slayers, Akira, Ghost in the Shell.
It is not geek nor pop cultures,
IT THE MAN OF CULTURE.
best watchmojo video to date. smart topic to tackle
Hard to believe I used to not be into anime
Bro, liking anime in high school was social suicide. But its still amazing. The influence and inspiration i got from it is unfathomable. Thank you Japan 🙌🏽❤️
"NO CUTS"
what a bunch of badasses!
I would like to personally thank Toonami for helping anime become mainstream in America in the late 90s and early 2000s.
It has always been mainstream.
USA is just a little slow in catching up with the rest of the world on mamy issues.
2:44 don't forget about voltes V and Daimos,they are the only anime before Voltron
loving the opening theme song
I don't regret knowing about anime.
DBZ used to get aired at almost midnight in cartoon network in india.. and I loved staying late to watch it .. good ol days
I remember renting the anime VHS from Blockbuster. Tank Police, Mermaid Scar and other's I can't remember the titles to. :D
I think the biggest reason at least in the 90s anime took off is because American animation was expensive and the broadcasters needed SOMETHING to put on air. The answer, import it from Japan, hire Canadian voice actors for dirt cheap, edit it to meet USA standards, call it a show, and collect the profits. It was lazy AND effective at the same time.
The first Anime I ever seen was Battle of the Planets or GForce as the team was called. The Fiery Phoenix was my favorite.❤️
Gotta love toonami and cartoon network for my intro of anime
Mfs was bullying me because I enjoy a certain type of animation back then, shit was crazy 💀
Cowboy Bebop deserved to be Honorably Mentioned in this video. Also, Voltron was mentioned without recognizing Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets) that preceded it, Robotech (that came out at the same time) nor Gundam (that followed it) is glaringly short-sighted: I'll chalk it up to time allotted for this piece to run.
I also had the experience of not telling anyone I watched anime until 2016/2017. DBZ is definitely the 'gateway' anime, but the problem is that DBZ was created during a time when the internet wasn't even a thing, so the anime phenomenon couldn't get a grip to be normalized into pop culture. Anime has been seen for a long time as a bunch of kids shows simply because there weren't enough anime which could appeal to a broad adult population. It started to normalize after 2016/2017 because of the giant hits like AOT and HxH and Netflix providing anime to the broad masses.
I used to tape Pokemon and Dbz every morning before school to watch in the arvo. Ah, those were the days...
Anime has come a long way. So glad the world has anime
One of few decisions in my life that I don't regret being an anime fan.
Really ?
anime flexes their power level and ain't gunna stop any time soon
Just admit it, we all cried with Pikachu, when Ash turned to stone then and even now.
I also think that attack on titan was the perfect critical mass point
I was 1 of those kids who bought dbz fansubbed tapes. 10 bucks was about 7 episodes per tape. I bought all the z episodes, all the gt episodes and all the movie/specials.
