As you can see, it's a very common thing to watch anime in Japan. Even though not every grown-up watches them regularly, most of them have watched some stuff in the past. With younger generations, pretty much everybody watched anime when they were little.
Even if you are not Japanese, many of you have watched some Japanese anime when you were little.
But with subtitles and dubs, a lot of nuances are lost in translation. So if you want to fully enjoy anime, you need to learn Japanese.
And if you want to learn Japanese with me, I can send you some Japanese lessons where I teach you the kind of Japanese that Japanese people actually speak. Click here and subscribe bit.ly/3q0qr92

Yaasss!
I would like this video it wasn’t being posted during historic protests taking place in the US and other places around the world. I was really hoping you would have a video asking Japanese people if they understood the situation in the US. I’m here and I live in a city where there are massive demonstrations. This is historic and something people under the age of 60 haven’t experienced.
I had seen elderly playing switch games, and some of them watching anime on their cellphones, although not a super common thing (from what I had experienced)
I never been to japan so watching your videos feels like i visit japan.. thank you yuta man

The Gundam Cafe is often used as a landmark for a specific train station entrance, so perhaps they were looking for that.

Anime literally just means animation in Japan. It's a Western invention that the word would only refer to Japanese or Japanese style animation.
I'm not surprised to see clueless weebs still saying "cArt00N iSn'T AnlMe", the same idiots who say hentai means porn anime(if it's not in english)
@@Gameboygenius for older people. No one who actually has any interest in animation is using term "anime" for western cartoons. I'm reading futaba pretty often (or 2chan if you don't know what I mean). they are using animation (アニメーション) for western cartoons.
アニメ is reverse-borrowed term. People in Europe (in 70 or 80s) started calling Japanese animation "anime", Japanese people though it's interesting, so they started using アニメ for animation produced in their country.
Frozen is an anime.
3:40 oh my God her voice is so adorable
5:30 I’m sure this man reads and watches Detective Conan because he started it in the 90s when he was a teenager and, 27 years later, it has not finished yet.

Elsa: Yamete Kudasai
LOL. now i wonder if they dub the frozen movie in teather
Bruhhh
Lagi Lagi GG lol there is a Japanese version I’m pretty sure and the songs in the movies are actually pretty popular there
They do dub it. And if you go to disneyland on winter, its the main thing.
@@salamhoki16 Well, they dub it in every language for theaters. I mean if they dub every big release in Ukranian then they dub it in Japanese too.
“It’s strange at this age”
Nah, I disagree, growing older shouldn’t mean abandoning your old interests (unless you naturally lost interest)
i feel like it's not that it,is,strange,to,watch,it per se (like, "ew anime? at my age?"), it would be strange to BE ABLE TO watch it, because of family, community and work responsibility. they're on their 50-70s of age... though it might rather be interesting if there's any elder community exclusively get together because of anime, they won't be talking about typical depressing stuffs like their growing disease and politics.
Definitely got a strong whiff of "I am not allowed to like things that society says I shouldn't like at my age" from his comment. That's a part of Japanese culture I strongly dislike.
I'm now in my mid-40's. I really started getting into anime nearly 25 years ago, and everything was fresh and new to the point that I would watch everything I could get my hands on. These days, I still enjoy it on occasion, but like the elders here, I often long for the nostalgic stuff rather than what comes out now.
@@Tohlemiach "That's a part of Japanese culture I strongly dislike"
But's it's not Japanese thing. This is literally how whole "sheep" civilization works. And this is even bigger reason to respect people that don't care about others and they are doing what they like.
Still tho there are times where it really feels that way, and not from abandoning them. For example, recently I was watching K-On and I had to ask myself if I was a bit old for it? And I faced the reality that even if I wasn’t now there would be a day where it would be rather weird now wouldn’t it
I also felt like I had perhaps lost too much innocence by this point to be watching it, although that’s a separate (yet related) issue
I mean, I see where they’re coming from, and it’s not just social pressure, although I think that’s tied up with it too
The guy starting at 3:24. His smile pondering back on the anime he watched was quite nice. He surely had fond memories of his younger days.
The dispute typically begins here: the word “anime” (shortened from “animēshon“) is the Japanese pronunciation of the word “animation.” In Japan, the word is often used as a blanket term for all animated content no matter where it's from. ... So, even though it's not Japanese, it's anime.
Thats Why In Japan They Called Frozen As An Anime
do you watch anime?
person: nah
so what kinda anime do you watch?
person: lets see **proceeds tell the anime he/she watches**
LOL
Was about to comment the same thing😂
Looks like a typical NPC dialog :D
They dont watch it its ones they have watched once in their lifetime
Like asking someone grandmother "do you watch cartoons" and they say no but when you ask them what cartoons they have watched they just answer with looney toons

To begin with, there are not that many people in Japan who have good feelings about otaku. Most either stay away from them or ridicule them in the same way that people overseas do to weeaboo. Basically, otaku are considered to be a race of people who have no place in the real world and are only escaping reality by watching anime and the Internet to get transient pleasure. In fact, that's exactly what they are.
in Japan "anime" simply means animation. so yes Frozen, The Simpsons, Avatar are all "anime"

Granpa of the year award
Met a couple elderly Pokemon Go players in Yoyogi last year. They were also very keen to interact with us gaijin!
I haven't met many over the age of 60 playing the game, but there's a fair amount of people below that age playing. Although I did have a neighbor who is somewhere between 60 and 70 if I were to guess who did play the game.
Yes, there are tons of elderly playing Pokemon Go over here. :D
I think Pokémon Go in Japan lasted longer than a fad in general
I am a 75 year old Canadian woman and I have watched some anime primarily because I do art and I love much of the art you see in anime. I was particularly impressed by: "The Wind Rises", "The Garden of Words", "A Whisker Away", "Words Bubble up Like Soda Pop", "From Up on Poppy Hill", "Flavors of Youth", "Marnie", "Forest of Piano", "Only Yesterday", "Miss Hokusai", "Blue Period" and most recently, "The Tale of Princess Yaguya". I'm not interested in the teen anime about super heros etc. and can really only watch stories that are more mature... It's strange that the film Blue Period about a young art student is not particularly well done as far as the art work goes! "The Tale of Princess Yaguya" is done for young children --the style of art is definitely old Japanese--very beautiful. So sorry I can't find the movie "Your Name" on Netflix or the other movie platforms I use, because I can see that the art is exemplary. I am very interested in Japanese art and culture and particularly Zen and Haiku. My late husband was an expert on Zen.
I fell in love with "The Tale of Princess Kaguya". It's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen. I love to watch animes set on feudal japanese periods, and love to see their folklore transported to the screens. My condolences for your husband. May he rest in peace ! God bless !

That is because asians have a trait called ‘neoteny’. Neoteny is the retention of juvenile traits in adulthood. Adult asians have a more youthful face compared to other adult humans, giving a so called ‘cute’ appearance.

Bruh you can tell that so many elders (especially males) don’t even want to be caught watching anime currently because they think it’s childish
I guess it’s a generational stigma
Their parents were from the generation of shame who remember how it felt to be on the losing side, a lot of whom tried very hard to maintain the culture and lifestyle of the era before the western modernisation of their country, so they would have raised their children to have certain opinions. When I say era I don't mean the literal eras btw, since Hirohito was on the throne for a very long time.
@@CarboKill I thinks it's just that they find natural disgust because anime is for kids lmao
When you get old you will understand how much it's for them.As you know im not old enough but i know it :)
same in the west. older people here still think watching cartoons is childish
Have yet to meet anyone in my experience who finds cartoons in anyway childish. I rather think thats just you projecting nonsense. For those of us who work in Music, the interest in animation is phenomenal and everything from voice actors (some of whom are in their 50s and 60's) and the supporting bands I work with (some Japanese, some not) have no issues with the medium at all. People need to stop assuming their personal experience is universal (which yes includes me but you are doing it as well).
'Some' older people may think it is childish, that is their free opinion and one that many millions do not share. Often overlooked is the age of many who wrote the original cartoons and magazines and comics. Some were already old men when they started and smiled just as much as the children they would go onto inspire.
6:55 aaaahh i forgot the title of that anime, it is about a girl which can summon microphone and use it to make magic. When she go to the dwarf world, everything was reverse. In class she was the only one not raising hands when asked "who want to answer questions", so she got called while everyone was raising their hands. It was so great with a lot of sentiments and sad moments too. If i recall correctly, it was during first digimon period.
it was very cute and heart warming to hear them talk.

@@OjaysReel a "weeaboo" is somebody who renounces their own nationality and or loves Japan and everything japanese blindly, but recently as japanese anime and manga become more mainstream, people like to call themselves weeaboos or "weebs" just because they like anime. the negative meaning is not seen as much in my opinion
there is a famous video about it by a former youtube named filthy frank, but be warned it is rather rude and strange (i still think most of it is funny) but it explains the idea
@@RealAnswerTalker That's actually not what being a weeb is. A weeb is someone who thinks the only thing about japan is "anime" and disrespects their culture, they normally use phrases like "desu" and "chan" etc without knowing the real meanings or where to place them in a sentence.
If someone learns Japanese goes to japan and lives there, they aren't "weebs" if they respect the culture. At worst they might be a Japan fanatic but not a "weeb".
@@benjamin9120 You're both right.
5:29 when the guy said conan I was soo happy like MY TIME HAS COME!
The fact that the man at 2:50 reminded me of astro man is like very weird cuz i watched it when i was like very young kid but as soon as he said it the memories came back felt nice ... i didn't even know that i have watched it

@Chinmay Walimbe exactly you intellectual
This magnificent interview with the elder Japanese people about the watched anime has woken several souvenirs of their childood, which has allowed us to discover a suprisingly large range of anime, from famous ones to completely new discoveries ! 😀
It's already incredible to discover all these animes from different decades, but the most wonderful are the stories of these kind and open-handed people. Indeed, each interviewed person who has already watched anime describes the reasons that has led them to watch these anime.
Some view the anime as an opportunity to spend nice times with their grandchildren, whereas others have watched anime as a truly nice and funny leisure in their childhood. There are also some people who enjoy watching some particular anime for the treated topic and the envionment in which the story of this anime takes place.
So, whatever the reason for watching anime is, these people all have in common the joy that anime procures. As we can see, all these people become instantly joyful as soon as they talk about their anime experience. Concerning the other group of people that has never watched anime, these people have simply found their happiness in other nice and funny leisures.
Anyway, I've noticed that some anime seem to be more popular among elder Japanese people, Sazae-san being definitively the most mentioned one. Thanks to all these kind people and Yuta-san, I've expanded my knowledge about the Japanese anime world, which has even motivated me to look for the plot of the newly discovered anime. ☺🙏🏻
Appreciate weathering with you
Lmao I love the lady who said she watched sailor moon and said tuxedo Kamen is weak ahahah big mood
Well, it’s the truth 😅😂😂
grandma be spittin truth
Yeah, really. Did Tuxedo Mask ever actually fight, or just jump in and out?
Insert that myjobhereisdone meme here
I kinda feel bad for her. She said she watched it as a kid, meaning she's probably in her 30s yet they classify her as an elderly like the group they interviewed.
i was patiently waiting for a grandma to say she likes jojo
Reeeeee
@Webtoon Master why what is wrong with jojo? Can you tell me please
@@smta3285 I dont think he was implying that it was a bad thing. I think they meant they would be excited,
Why does it feel so sad after watching this? Time really flies..waits for no one!
if u ask this question in 40 or 50 years all the answers will be : "Yes, thousands of them"

it seems like most of anime the old like are very old anime or anime around traditional family. The showa period (1926-1989)
What does mean showa period?
@@chandraathithan11 the years from 1926 to 1989.
@@chandraathithan11 it was a period in Japan before, during and after ww2 that Japan experience a lot GDP growth and held a lot traditional values and good middle class jobs but after 1989 Japan's economy bubble bust and population rate has declined a lot and traditional family unit is not as common. Those animes from that time has a lot nostalgia for older people.
@@InugamiTheHound ohhhhh 😮
@@chandraathithan11 it's about the same as middle aged people watching Stranger Things... Which actually would be from the late Showa Period, actually....
I'm 26 yo and i love to watch Sazae-san. Im glad that so many elders like it too. ❤️
That means im in a right path 😁😂
I like how the animes they watched are the classics ones and heartwarming family ones and Frozen.

I wish someone made an interview about Japanese reading books - like fiction novels and so on. There's a stereotype that Japanese only read manga, so I've always wondered about them reading usual literature: how many books they read in a year, what they prefer to read, what's their favorite book.
@비프케이크 라이스 beefcake rice 옥건 Thanks for the reply. Can you name some of the books, novels popular in Japan in recent years?
It was an interesting interview. I think many people in their 40s-60s today may have grown up on manga rather than anime, and I think many people in their 70s and older are skeptical of manga/anime. From now on, more and more adults will be able to proudly say they like anime.
Interesting how they nod their heads, which we associate with "yes", when they say "no".
One of the reasons why all characters in FF7 Remake with more than ~2 lines of dialogue had two sets of facial expression sequences for dialogue;
One for japanese audio and the other set for english audio.
It's explained in the short "behind the scenes" documentary of making if FF7R
people nod their heads to show they're listening to you and understand you, so it doesn't necessarily match with what they're saying haha
@@kailex8902 That's true. And, when someone asks "It's not xxxxx, is it?" and the answer in English is "No, it's not," they would say "Yes(, it's not)" in Japanese and nod their heads.
Different culture is interesting. And in India, shaking your heads mean yes, cmiiw
Nodding your head is just the same as someone waving their hands while talking.
When you're talking you usually look at them in the eye so it makes sense that you nod your head while talking still focusing on you.
Imagine following someone's hand as they talk.
why is no one acknowledging how this man just casually dropped down from the ceiling
