How does anime work on TV?Specifically in Japan. When and where

morning-mid day is all the shounen stuff and the stuff for young adults/kids. night is when more adult seinen stuff airs and whatnot. there are anime only channels as well as anime blocks on non-anime channels i think. hentai is just released straight to video and sold either in the back of a normal shop that would have anime, in a porn shop, or in one of those vending machines.

this probably isnt 100 percent accurate but its close im sure.

You can turn on the television and have a 1/25-1/50 chance of finding anime on, typically. You're much more likely to find anime on television in America than you are in Japan. There's no such thing as an anime-only channel, and hentai is unheard of as an actual genre of animation - it's just another word for "pervert" or "strange guy", and most people would be shocked that the Western idea of "hentai" actually exists.

There are only eight channels - one channel shows anime late at night for an hour or two (SAO, SnK and Berserk, for instance), and you can find miscellaneous children's shows (Doraemon, Anpanman) in the morning, and the more popular anime (previously Naruto, One Piece and Adventure Time) around dinner time, but you're not going to find other shows unless you go searching for them.

For most shows, you need to pay for a premium cable package. You typically buy the channel you're interested in. Other shows are online streaming-only, like AbemaTV, or only available depending on what prefecture you live in (those in Saitama and Chiba get different broadcasts than Tokyo residents, for instance)

This is closer to myth than it is to anything resembling accuracy.

Can confirm. Just came back from a week in akihabara. Pretty much every store that sells anime goods has 1-2 floors dedicated to JAV, hentai, and H-doujinshi, or has all the lewds at the back of the store. I went to one that had the H-stuff in the basement floor and included dakis with built in holes at the vagooo area for putting tengas in and stuff. Fucking japan

anime on Jap TV is nearly dead,it all comes down to buying physical shit from stores or watching on the web and even if you aren't willing to pay for the media don't forget merchandise is also very important

oddly, anime is an underculture

and, it is -generally- more common in USA than in Japan.

That's satellite television.

>エロアニメ
Yeah, most people still don't know this exists.
Anime porn is often hidden in stores behind curtains, you only see it if you go searching for it.

Japan is a nation of casuals.

>a week in akihabara.
That sounds repetitive. I hope you were able to travel to other places too.

Makes me think their mentality (that still wont change) is like
Cartoons are for kids,it's sort of socially unacceptable adults watching anime but the ones who watch/fap to hentai are big losers

And thats weird because then it comes down to
Anime isn't doing very well in it's origin country but it still thrives thanks to the rest of the world loving and praising it
