I'm not French. If I was french I wouldn't be wondering why they were full of weebs

>>158917643
French culture

Animation is not stigmatized as for kids only, and the comic book culture is respected and loved. This culture means that Japanese animation and comics are more acceptable.

Don't have the social stigma, and all of a sudden it sells more.

>>158917643
It's a lot safer to stay at home as a weeb than get beheaded or bombed or ran over by a truck no?

>>158917643
Culture. Comics and mangos are not only for kids there.
Also, we like to own books and stuff, we like to read.

Full of niggers.

>>158917643
we traditionally consider comics/bande dessinée as a respectable artform and we produced some world class artists like moebius who had a huge influence on the japanese scene

plus a lot of people now in their 30's grew up watching anime, it was cheap in the 80's/90's and tv shows for kids bought them en masse

>>158917643
It's not selling in burger land cause capeshit companies are blocking it, can't have your competitor beat you down.

>>158917643

Comic codes fucked us up good, senpai. We're pretty much just starting to produce good comics.

But probably most people read manga or watch anime online for free in comparison with people who buy manga or anime, so, as USA have a lot more of population probaly there are more manga fans there.

The fandom online is mostly people from USA too

France has always been Japanophiles stretching way back.

Terrorism was very real even in the 1970-1990s, except back then it was committed mainly by domestic communists and right-wing nationalists.
>In the past 45 years, there have been more than 16,000 terror attacks in Western Europe, an average of more than 350 per year, according to the Global Terrorism Database, maintained by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. The peak was reached in 1979, when 1,019 attacks were perpetrated in Europe.

>>158928759
Fucking communists.

Amerigringos, ameriniggers and amerispics prefer to watch anime and read mangoes online.
There's probably also a small growing population of americhinks.

It was mostly by chance.
In the mate 70s, somebody had to fill a hole in the programme grid for chilren during the holidays.
Pruchased Grendizer to the japanese.
It was a huge hit, then they kept buying cheap anime and some tokusatsu as well.
There was another huge boom in the late 80s with stuff like Hokuto no Ken, Maison Ikkoku, St Seiya and especially DBZ.
But do not think it was accepted back then. When I was in middle school and high school in the early 90s, I would rather have died than letting people know I was watching those stupid cartoons for children.
For more than 20 years, anime were loved by children, but hated by adults. There were several newspapers and concerned parents complaining about the yellow invasion, the low quality, the violence, the nudity, the moral decrepitude.
Some politicians like pic related took a stance againts violent stuff like DBZ while praising good quality french cartoons like Demetan (yes, really)
So, while the first anime came in the late 70s, we had to white until the mid 90s to see the first mangas translated in french.

>>158917643
Because we haven't that "comics are for kids" way of thinking unlike in the USA.

Sounds like the French were just assblasted they had competition when they were guilty of the same shit.

We had something called Le club Dorothée that made anime and by extension manga popular with all the 80s kids, and now those kids are adults, and for some still watching anime or reading manga.

>>158929167
It's true to some extent.
But keep in mind that while french comics are not as puritan as murika's, french cartoons are.
Cartoon versions of stuff like Titeuf or Little Spirou are even more SFW than murikan cartoons.

really? in my middle school everyone liked dbz, even the "ghetto" kids

>>158929417
Well it depends who're your friends, when I was in middle school in the beginning of 2000s, I used to watch Captain Tsubasa, DBZ, Hamtaro, the mysterious cities of gold, etc every single day of my life and I told no one about that, because of the shame.

Meanwhile you could talk about Tintin, Titeuf, Spirou, Looney Tunes and shit like that without much problem, even with adults.

Aside from comic books being a big cultural thing in France, many manga are also translated into French which is a big help for them since many frogs can't into English (though I'd say translating all foreign works into French is a contributing factor to that)

>>158929574
I always thought that the USA had a lot more officially translated manga than us, but actually I never bothered checking.

>>158918969

Didn't know that the stuff is still somehow popular in Germany after the manga bubble in the early 00s.

It's changing a bit with the newer generations but yeah it's been like that for a long long time, I can remember my parents never caring how bad I was doing in English classes because "who gives a shit anyway".

Look at their comic culture in general

Meanwhile in North America good luck trying to find many people interested in comics who aren't just following whatever super hero related schlock Marvel, DC or one of the smaller companies is pumping out

>>158930131

They have a big native animation and comic culture that isn't 99% capeshit, so I guess manga also sells better too.
I do remember being in France on holiday (Britfag) and seeing even relatively obscure stuff like Usotsuki Lily on sale there which has no English release.

France appear to have a bigger boner for Fist of the North Star, Golgo 13 and oddly enough Rokudenashi Blues than stuff like OP/Naruto/Bleach. Or maybe that's only the older generation.

They seem to quite like Space Opera stuff like Cobra and Leijiverse stuff.

>>158932212
So Bernie is the answer

>>158929625
You have official translations of popular Japanese manga that have never even been fully scanlated let alone translated into English officially (you are the only country besides China that ever translated Rokudenashi Blues for example), and for modern stuff you have an opportunity to be much more up-to-date because things get picked up more quickly, it's ridiculous how long it takes for a first volume of a current series to be published in English, it's like their begging people to scanlate and never notice they eventually made an official translation

I don't know about obscure stuff but I feel like for the major stuff at least, it would be better to speak French than English

>Animation is not stigmatized as for kids
>France

Yea right,, that's why René Laloux had to go to North Korea and Czechoslovakia in order to make his movies.
And why Lastman needed a kickstarter and successful comic series.

There's not really place to animation that is not for kids in France, there's some feature lenght animation that is aimed at a wider audience but you don't find any French animated series that is not targeted for kids.

Also there's a huge stigmas for "Mangas" in France. Since the late 70s/Early 80s. I think Segolène Royale wanted to ban Japanese cartoons.
Mangas & anime are more spread now, but there's still a lot of hate, especially from comic amateurs who only likes Jiro Taniguchi

>>158934187
Soon anon, soon we'll be able to talk french again.

>>158934084
As someone who can frustratingly only speak English but enjoys manga, that is a rather difficult notion as it means changing what I like because most stuff I can't even support without just buying stuff in a language I can't speak...and it pisses me off, I would pay for the products, so I don't understand why English publishers can't at least try

(I am trying to learn Japanese to get around the problem but it's an extremely slow process)

>>158918969

And here people pretty much love it, after anime became popular with the old generation it was a dome deal, you have a full generation of 50 year olds and under that grew up watching anime and keep doing so

>>158934225

It doesn't work like that, I'm 29 myself and I barely know anyone at my age that know anything beside Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. Manga and especially anime are still very stigmatized and seen for kids, it's the same as any other country, you have that one popular type of retard that loves naruto and does cosplay, speaks half-japanese all the time and people thinks every other mangafag is like that.

Nah, Naruto, Bleach and One Piece are very popular in France too.
Hokuto no Ken, Cobra and Harlock are also legendary because we got the cartoons on TV.

Remember Manga Video and their intro that could have been subbed "what Segolene Royale thinks anime are"?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39qfOrYakRM
It was in the late 90s, when we got our first manga and OAV in french. People were so fucking tired of the heavily censored DBZ or Ranma anime.
So editors had characters say "shit" or "fuck" in the early translations of the Dragon Ball manga and video editors were flloding us with OAV with sexe and violence.
That being said, those were actually based anime: Cyber City, Urotsukidouji, Dominion, Ninja Scroll, Wicked City
And I'm definitely not complaining about the full fan service stuff like Lemnear or Plastic LIttle

>>158935224
Just thinking about it makes me laugh, damn it.

It's been a while since I watched anything in vostfr or french dubbed, is the censoring still as heavy as it used to be? Only Canal + was making actually good dubs back in the days.

>>158935183

At least adult Goku was dubbed by a man.
And Eric Legrand was awesome as Vegeta's voice (and Yamcha's)

>>158929703
It's not that we hate english. Most young people learn English. There's 2 problem with english and french though.
First, English is actually difficult to learn. It's especially hard to speak in english for french people. English language contains way more phoneme than french, which make it harder for us to speak it. Accentuation is really important in spoken english and not really in french. Like difference between Beach & Bitch is something that does not exist at all in french, we would prononciate both word the same way.
Second point is more of a social problem. This works with Japan too by the way. The big majority of french people will probably never use English in their lifetime outside of the occasional trip in an english speaking country. On top of that, France (like Japan) is big enough to get their own version of stuff. Like if you take Sweden, it's pretty common to get games or movie only in english there, so they actually have a necessity to learn english. So they're basically no reason to use English for most french people. And when you don't practice a foreign language for years, you forget it.

>>158935797
You could also add that they're teaching English is the worst way possible that demotivates most kids, I'm pretty sure that almost every single one french user of 4chan learnt english here rather than at school.

>>158935797
Yep. I took German for 6 years and wouldn't be able to hold a real conversation in German for the life of me. I could probably bumble my way through making a person that only understood German understanding roughly what I was trying to say, but I'd sound like a half retarded caveman in the process.

It's very hard to actually know a language you're never really exposed to to any great extent.

Frogistanis have terrible taste, OP is garbage

>>158929703
These >>158935950 >>158935797
Don't be too hard on french people. The educational system for languages is shit and most of them actually don't need to learn it. The only reason my english is okay is because as a child I was way too much into Harry Potter and I couldn't bear to wait 6 months for the orde of the phoenix to be translated into french.

>>158935797
>Second point is more of a social problem. This works with Japan too by the way.

So they're basically no reason to use English for most french people. And when you don't practice a foreign language for years, you forget it.
This. I think that's really the main problem. I've rarely ever seen people saying something like French is the superior language, it's more like that they don't care at all about English, because there is no need to. So we're more like "why would you learn English when you know French?" between us.
But that's the occasion to ask, English speaking countries, how much of the population learn another language to the point of being able to speak it with other natives, even just by writing, like here? (Or is our language education system the only one so shit you can't speak after more than 5 years of classes?)

>>158936483
English-speakers, and especially Americans, are some of the most "refuse to learn any other language" snobs on Earth. And these are people that actively interact with foreigners too, not just people that stay in their own local social circles all life and never have to really acknowledge that there's a world where people talk other languages.

>>158936676
Yeah, that's the exact same reason. "Why would you learn another language, when everyone where you live AND most foreigner you'll ever talk to will know English?"
The lack of necessity makes it less important to learn another language.
In any case, to go back to the main subject, I would say that part of the reason animes and mangas are more popular in Europe than in America is that America had the super hero comic trend really strong, so Japanese creations had a strong competition, which is not so much the case in Europe.

>>158936483
>Or is our language education system the only one so shit you can't speak after more than 5 years of classes
Same here. Can barely speak French anymore after a total of 8 years of French lessons.
The main problem for me was that most of the time in French class....you don't even speak French. If there's 30 people in a class, how many minutes can be dedicated to one student per lesson? Like 3? Wow! I speak 3 minutes of French per week! Awesome! No wonder it takes 8 years to learn the language.
At university i took an Indonesian course, and there were only 3 students other than me in the class. I probably learnt more in 1 semester than I learnt French in my entire high school time.

>>158938271
> America had the super hero comic trend really strong, so Japanese creations had a strong competition, which is not so much the case in Europe
I think you're underestimating how strong the Bande dessinée faggotry is in europe. Bande dessinée, manga, and comics are considered the holy trinity of narrative traditions in printed sequential art.

Exactly. It doesn't help that learning a language is not like learning other disciplines. Especially in school, it's mainly learning words by heart, like a dictionnary. Add to that that you have, what, 1, 2 hours a week? Add to that the number of students in the class (what you just mentionned), and finally the fact that other subjects are asking a lot of work from you, so you just rather spend time working on them and do the bare minimum on your language lessons.

>I think you're underestimating how strong the Bande dessinée faggotry is in europe.
Maybe. Well, my point was more on the number. How many super hero comic in America were there for each bande dessiné in Europe? Also it was popular, but when you could play with friends at the schoolyard imagining being a superhero and kept imagining adventures, with bande dessiné, it was more conversations like "hey, remember that moment? Haha, yeah that was funny!" and didn't go much more than that Although that might be because I really was more of a Gaston Lagaffe fag when it came to BD

>>158917643
Isn't it mostly just One Piece that's so popular?

Anyway, I imagine Europe is more open to japanese comic books since comic books are primarily a foreign-language medium anyway for them. Comparatively, in America it has to compete with lots of native English-language comics and thus never caught on quite as much

Oh for fuck sake.

If anything Naruto has always been more popular than One Piece here, pretty sure it's the case everywhere but in Japan.

>>158940364
Désolé mais je trouve rien d'autre que les gosses regardent aujourd'hui. Beyblade maybe ?

>>158940561
You're not wrong though. Most kid actually watch this kind of shit.

>>158940561
En vrai j'en ai aucune idée non plus, Maybe Wakfu is popular? I don't even know what kind of cartoons France 3 or TF1 are showing nowadays.

>>158940021
But thats wrong, Europe has its own comics, Spain or France are my favourite instances of this.

>>158940713
Nowadays western animation is more popular, shows like Gumball and Teen Titans Go which were bought by Gulli.
Youngsters still enjoy watching One Piece, Naruto, etc but they prefer their American shows I guess.

One Piece constantly tops France's charts and is in fact a huge part of comic sales (so, not just mangas) by itself.

>>158934197
>Also there's a huge stigmas for "Mangas" in France.
Bull fucking shit.

>>158917643
>Why is France so full of weeaboos?

There's no such thing.

>>158941567
Right now it does because Naruto has ended, but some years ago it wasn't the case.

>>158941638
Not really, though. Naruto has been on a downward slope since at least the 2010-2011 period, while OP has been gaining momentum since then.

>>158941548
>teen titans
That doesn't sound too bad. Never heard of that other one though.

Dude, my own family despises mangas and would rather defenestrate themselves than read one.

>>158917643
They were weebs from early 1900 japonism anyone?

>>158942536
Sound like you have a pleb family.

>>158934197
I dunno anon, as far as cartoons being "for kids" I'm reminded of Wakfu.

Americans get brainwashed from a young age into thinking that everything American-made is superior to the rest of the world. So of course they only read superhero comics ("muh dead parent" comics), play Xbox, use iPhones, and watch Marvel movies.
French people are a lot more intelligent though, and recognize that the truly superior culture and technology comes from the Land of the Rising Sun - Japan.
Yeah, the French have their own comics too. So what? They can enjoy both bandes dessinèes AND manga. As long as it's not muh dead parents comics, it's all good.

It's not a complicated concept.
Just imagine something that is already free: (public) schools.
Children obviously aren't paying for it. How would they? They don't have a job. But children eventually turn into adults, and well educated adults have good jobs and can pay taxes. And those taxes in turn finance public schools.
Do you see the circle? The people are paying for it themselves, but sometimes they are on the paying side, sometimes on the receiving side.
Now if you took away public schools, people wouldn't be educated and couldn't get jobs, and couldn't pay taxes.
This is why there's unemployment money in European countries: because it doesn't help anybody to have a bunch of useless homeless people on the streets. Instead we give them an apartment and money, and force them to look for a job. (but they can still voluntarily become homeless people if they really want to for some reason)

I couldn't even afford to finish college (I sure as hell wasn't going to get a student loan), I was going for STEM (EE), oddly enough some of the HS classmates of mine that did finish college thanks to mommy and daddy's money are struggling to find a job, even with a STEM degree. The US midwest is shit for anyone with 3 digit IQ's, if you don't want a service job, call center job, or be a trucker, you're fucked.

French TV guy brought anime in the 70s because it was cheap. These kids are now in control and reproducing

Who's paying for that wall again? It sure as hell isn't Mexico

Though I like the idea of universal healthcare, I actually don't care for free university education. I would have a problem with people going to university for free only to get a degree that is completely useless, and that will not allow them to actually contribute back the tax dollars that were spent on them on the first place. I don't know how the statistics are in Europe, but I can assure you there are too many idiots here getting useless college degree on loans who complain they can't get a job when they never considered how they would obtain a job with their useless degree.

I also see free university contributing to the devaluing in a university education. Decades ago, a degree was a sure fire way to get you a job, but now since everyone has one, even internships are competitive. So for all the adults that spent 4 to 5 years getting a degree that will never help them get a higher paying job, during that 4 to 5 years, they aren't contributing as much tax revenue due to taking time away for their studies.

Then again, all of these problems still happened in the US. And if University was free, certain individuals who couldn't afford it - but would greatly benefit society - could attend.

You should honestly take the student loan dept, you're not getting an english degree. Engineering is certainty worth it, unless you already have a career that equals the pay of engineering. I just got my ME degree in Oklahoma thanks in part to mommy and daddy helping me, but I would have taken up to 45k in dept to earn this degree if I didn't have their help. Also, it's not impossible to move to another state with a good engineering college and good job prospects.

>>158942666
Yes I do, satan.

>>158926532
why?

>>158917643
America imports less manga than any other country because they don't want it taking away their already niche capeshit audience.
If you ever wonder why comic book stores have a lack of manga, That's pretty much it.
