What is it that makes Japanese animation popular, not only youth but adults as well? I remember a few years ago when I was a student at university freshmen and I am addicted to Japanese anime "Dragon Ball Z". In fact, it even gave the famous American cartoon "The Simpsons" a run for its money in my book.
What I find strange that the "Dragon Ball Z" is about 39 episodes per season, but if you want to write an overview of the whole season you can do in just about one paragraph. I think you can add all the meat from the whole season in just that one paragraph. Here is basically what I ...

...So, back to the original question, what makes Japanese animation so popular? It could be this humble author's opinion, but I would say the action is still much lethal violence. The best example of "The Simpsons" is probably the most popular U.S. cartoon comedy based cartoon. In fact most of the newer American cartoons are based on a comedy or a mystery to some extent (Yes, Scooby Doo, I'm looking at you ).
In the 1980s America has its share of action cartoons like "Transformers," "Thunder Cats" and "He-Man", but in the late 80s came by the majority of American action cartoon. A big issue with "Akira" on video in 1990, and subsequently the mind blowing action / Gore, who came with him, most American cartoons fans immediately turned their eyes to Japan.Film stuck his "ghetto" at the door and made their debut in Japanese animation in the West.
in 1990-newer American cartoons such as "Batman" and "Superman" came out and were enjoying the majority of American action cartoon lovers, but only those few American cartoons had left much time for other actions of animation from Japan to fill gap. With the amount of older Japanese anime were translated along with Japan's fresh anime, there are plenty of Japanese components in the western market. Therefore, this author believes that the Japanese anime happened to come along to the west at just the right time, and now it will not be leaving here anytime soon. S.B.
