Ok so I'm actually trying to collect some data too, so if you're willing to help let me know where you're from and tell me how "accepted" it is to watch anime where you're from. Like in Japan it's completely normal but I heard it's considered childish in some countries Edit: ok now I just figured out something, so there are some people who wouldn't initiate conversations about anime though they watch a lot of anime and I was curious why, but according to your comments it seems talking about anime or watching anime itself is considered childish/cringe in some countries huh, interesting

[@yellowronos]

In the Philippines, it’s hard to know who’s a weeb but in the internet, you’d see a heck ton of them

Ohayo from India. I have seen over 300 anime but I usually have to hide it everywhere because it gets clowned. Anime is considered cringe and weird but a lot of people watch. We don't take pride in our weebiness but we all know we are degenerates at heart.

Most weebs here try to avoid talking about anime in here like it is the plague. Most of us don't own anything anime related and if they do, they'll never flaunt it. Except a few of course. I am one of the few exceptions and would probably be closer to an American or a British weeb than an Indian one ngl.

As for research: Note that this is from someone older than KZbin (2002 squad): Anime is generally just treated as any other cartoon would by the masses, and in Secondary School people were open about watching animes like Assassination Classroom, and never got targeted for it* as far as I know. Granted, nobody exerted their weebness, either, they were just acting like normal people watching anime because most animes are pretty solid. * I was in a Grammar School, aka the post-primary-school-exam-passers-only secondary school variant, though tbh with some peoples' behaviour there I don't think this variable would have affected things all that much. Note: Watching cartoons as an adult is... it depends, really, how you get perceived.

Indonesia has a lot of weebs, even the word "Wibu" ("weeb" in Indonesian pronunciation) is also included in the Indonesian Dictionary, which is a term for someone who likes and is interested in Japanese culture, especially from anime And yes, Naruto was the most famous anime at that time, especially for children born in the 90-2000s, the reason was because Naruto aired at primetime hours where children got time to watch tv, Naruto also aired daily (usually Monday-Friday), compared to other anime which only appear on Sundays, this makes Naruto's popularity among children wider

I'm from France and it's 100% accepted. From what the americans would call "nerd" to "jock", everyone watch anime. Is not seen in a bad light. Anime like One Piece and other, it's so well knows in France that everyone, even those who doesnt watch anime, know. It's not small or niche in France. That like saying, "yeah I like action movies" or something like that. Also, for your information, Anime was the youth of my father (hes 50). My father legit had all the tomes (so I read them. Several times), also anime like Albator, and the such in DVD. Just to give you an exemple; That not something that got popular trough the internet, like in the US. Also, anime convention and the such are more like for family instead of "weeb" only. Most of the times, in France, people thats likes animes will be interested and dive deeper into the Japanese culture. You dont even know how many Japan Crazy (Fou du Japon; In French, this has a good sense) there is. Those you see are just a fraction of it. In my highschool, there was a petition to hire a Japanese Teacher to teach Japanese as a third language. I could talk hours about it. Also. If you know how to draw manga style (memories from when I was in Junior High and High School) it's make you someones cool. Even very shy peoples who draws during break in the courtyard had like 5 to 10 peoples watching them draw. Some of them were extremly popular among the other students.

Yeah, its not unrealistic, althou we haven't really had much of a viking culture for the past 800 years or so.. We've been a monarchy for a very long time. Why we feel so much similarities with Japanese is probably also because of Jantelagen.. the unwritten law/rule of "don't believe you are better then anyone else" which has given us genuine swedes a very respectful approach to others. The way we try not to inconvenience others etc.

[@Orozus]

I think it's because of the extreme weather in the north if Scandinavia. The Jante Law. Similar to the extreme typhoon and earthquakes in Japan. Need to stay together, don't stand out. But this has changed a lot in Scandinavia. People actually say what they think.

[@Destinum]

Linking it to warrior culture seems like a bit of a stretch, but even if there's some merit to that, the vikings have nothing to do with it. I'd say the main similarities are that both societies value humility and respect for other people, but the origins for those behaviors are completely different: In Japan, it stems from a collectivist view on society, where the well being of the group is prioritized over that of the individual, whereas in Sweden it stems from things like strong worker unions creating a cultural identity of equality. All of this leads to an interesting dynamic where surface-level behavior is very similar, but the underlying cultural values behind that behavior are basically the complete opposite. Schools in each respective country are an interesting reflection of this: Japanese schools post grades openly for anyone to see and require students to wear uniforms. In Sweden, doing either of these things is straight up illegal.

As a swedish weeb id say its true with us liking old anime. Start talking about 90s and early 2000s anime and we will light up. Also everyone seems to know atleast one lesser known historic japanease event. Also we are interested in most old stuff from japan, like kimonos, architecture, art ,music and theater. I'd love myself to go to those old japanease theaters someday. Edit: Also yes, we stand some distance away from most. We dont wanna get into others peoples personal spaces uninvited and want to be able to have our own. I think that alot of us swedes feel like Swedish and Japanease cultures have some things in common and that also makes everything from japan seem a bit more approachable

[@yourneighbourr]

welp, I'm Russian and most of weebs I've met are: 1. not even trying to speak Japanese publicly (except for meme phrases like "ohayo onichan") 2. lots of them love the hell out of Evangelion 3. quite a few are also into PROJECT: SEKAI (kinda surprised it wasn't a mention at all in the video) I don't really know how our weebs act in Japan but here's the things I know about them hahahah

As an older German weeb I felt pretty well represented. I'm normally quite serious if it's about doing something or fullfilling a task. But in my freetime and with the right people I can go plus ultra weeb (including acting like an idiot and making a fool out of myself). So I think you did a pretty good job with your observations. Regarding acceptance of anime I have to say that it changed a lot in the last 15 - 20 years. As a fan of manga/anime in the late 90s, early 2000s it wasn't that easy. It was hard to get animes and games and they were expensive af. There were only some shown in the middle of the night on smaller TV channels. And they were mostly aduld oriented. So for most people "Animes" were those strange foreign animated movies full of s*x and violence. All that shifted with time and by now the weeb culture is pretty much accepted and normal here in Germany.

[@karepanman8705]

I'm curious, do Germans consider Maya the Bee to be anime?

[@7shinta7]

@karepan man Good question. It's a famous and beloved series, and I think especially back in the day the term "anime" wasn't really known as well as the fact that it's a Japanese animation. So while some know that it is anime, it's mostly not referred to as such.

[@Voigt151]

Maya the Bee would fall under the broader umbrella "Zeichentrick" which encompasses als animated shows, but I feel is more used for children shows no matter the origin.

[@karepanman8705]

@@7shinta7 thanks, that's interesting and it makes sense it may not have been recognised as Japanese. Do you think the fact that it was based on a German book made it seem more native rather than foreign? As for myself, I watched Maya as a child in Canada not knowing anything about either the Japanese animation, nor the German book!

[@7shinta7]

@@karepanman8705 Wow, I never knew about the book. I think the fact that it doesn't look distinctly anime like and the good German dub with the famous German intro song made it seem like a German (or at least European) style animation.

British weeb here! I love how you nailed the British sarcasm haha, we are usually very sarcastic and self-deprecating 🤣❤️ I think anime has become a lot more mainstream and popular in the UK in recent years, especially thanks to streaming platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll etc, so I think it's pretty widely accepted here now 😁

[@aegd]

About the swedish weeb, that just how we swedes behave in general, even more so if they are from the northern parts of sweden. About anime in sweden, I think it's gotten a lot more popular recently, but if you grew up in the 80's and 90's you basically watched silverfang, space adventure cobra, ryu the cave boy or starzinger and later on ninja scroll, akira and maybe some ghibli movies. Back in those days you could only get anime on VHS tapes, most of the older shows were badly dubbed to swedish and heavily edited.

[@mico_lodeon9116]

Filipino weeb here. I got introduced to anime in 1992 with Cedie the little prince (Little Lord Fauntleroy), followed by more classics like princess Sarah, Mary and the secret garden, Heidi, Romeo's blue skies (where I got depressed the most), dog of Flanders, Peter pan no bouken (my absolute favorite - I even pretended to be sick so I won't go to school and watch this show instead lol). It has progressed to watching Dragon ball Z, BTX, Sailormoon, Flame of Recca, Zenki, Time Quest, Blink, Mojacko, Doraemon, Saber Marionette, Ghost Fighter, Naruto, Slayers, Hell Sensei Nube and Magic Knight Rayerarth! I can say that most kids in the Philippines 90's watched anime and in my personal opinion, the greatest export by Japan to the Philippines. Now that I'm 37, I can say that there would be no stopping in loving anime any time soon.. I even bought Figma toys for my beloved Attack on Titan characters lol. If I get to have the budget again, then Kimetsu no Yaiba toys next :P

Korean-American here, and the Korean weeb part about liking obscure anime also applies to American weebs, too. A good example is Battle Angel Alita/GUNNM/Ganmu/銃夢. I've never met anyone in Japan who has read the manga.

[@GravitasZero]

As a french person, we have a large manga and anime presence in the country. A few anime and manga are actually from France. If I remember the statistics correctly, France is (or was?) right behind Japan (okay, far behind, but still) when it comes to manga production! Hell, for a while, the government gave every kid around the age of 18 a 200€ voucher to spend on cultural “products” on a government website. They actually included a LOT of anime and manga, so of course most people I heard about bought a shit ton of manga lmao

[@Newsdee]

France (and Belgium) has historically had a large comics culture so manga fits right in. I was living in Paris in the late 90s/early 00s, and the manga section in bookstores went from just a few titles to entire walls of it. I'd hang out and read a bunch of them in the store for an hour (they were cool with that) then buy 2-3 books for my own collection. As for anime, technically we were raised on it - morning TV shows had lots of anime series imported from Japan, decades before it became famous in the US

French weeb here. Just to say that if we tend to be good at japanese is due to the huge proximity between japanese and french. Also, we have a polite form, even though it's not as nuanced as keigo, we actually are aware to some extent on the importance of being polite. And finally, in France nowadays anime and manga has become so mainstream that watching animi isn't considered cringe anymore, it's the kind of anime you watch which will determine if you are cringe or not. Typically, whatever Tokyo girl or something is would be considered cringe by french standard (and harem-h*ntai-sis/brocon would get you the degenerate treatment) Edit: it's so accepted it's to the point where when i say i listen to JOJO's opening to a friend i made at school it doesn't tick for him that i watch anime, but when i say i'm a big weeb then he asks me what anime i watch xD

I guess most of us got really into the japanese culture and history through anime because afterwards most of us took japanese as a second language ( or foreign language ).

Bangladeshi viewer; I'm old now, so out of touch with the young generation, but back in my day, watching anime put you into one of two categories: Childish person who still watched cartoons as a 'grown-up'/teen OR man/woman of culture who knew how cool anime and Japan was. Even more exclusive was the manga club, which you only got into if you were rich or tech-savvy (scanlations). Afaik, however, there is another contingent of Japan fans in Bangladesh, whose connection is not through anime, but through Japanese cultural and philanthropic programmes. They want to go to Japan because it's seen as a wonderland of polite, hard-working people with impeccable manners and wonderful food (and beautiful women/handsome men).
