How come anime became so popular in Latin America?

very interesting discussion topic my man

>>161207123
I spent a few years there, so I can probably answer this.
>showed both on national TV (daily 3 hour blocks right after school ended) and cable
>daily episodes instead of weekly
>dub was actually decent (not the dumb spaniard one)
>fairly faithful adaptation (same OPs and EDs, some were dubbed, some were in japanese)
>decent selection
It has been a long time since I left, but I still remember watching all seasons of DB, Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, Corrector Yui, Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Ranma, Slayers, Gundam, Patlabor, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, Medabots, YuGiOh, Beyblade, etc. It was pretty neat before we got broadband internet.

The mind of a sub-human is a strange and simple place.

>>161207123
Anime is a form of escapism. They need to escape the most.

>>161207123
During the 90s, latin america localized anime themselves, avoiding censorship bullshit that was rampant in usa.

Anime is the prime escapist entertainment medium per excellence.
And Latinamerica is a place were they could use a lot of escapism to not think about their shitty realities

Indeed.

>>161207123
It's considered dishonorable to keep the half-breeds so they dump them back in the fathers homeland, the kids then grow-up and watch anime to be closer to their mothers.

Hey anon, what is the biggest country south of america? And what is their official language?

>>161214067
Yes, anon. But this dub in specific is the Portuguese one

>>161214067
btw, its written portuguese vegeta in the video

>>161214143
Yes, minor cultural/language difference.
But the same english sub/dub is for the anglosphere independent of american english or british english.
What, are you going to redub the whole thing to fix some minor differences in articles that don't change the meaning or to fix differences in pronunciation?
That's a lot of money when liscensing ;) and broadcasting as is is way more profitable.

>>161214263
Anglosphere is stupid, even spanish makes different dubs for latin and Spain ones.

>>161214344
That that money spent just to fix lisps and to add slang. And people wonder why they're third world.

>>161214381
*all that*

>>161214381
The dialogue and localization is completely different. Spain translates everything while latin america keeps the japanese names and terms.

>>161214381
Nah, is just that the difference between latinamerica Spanish and Spain Spanish is a lot bigger than the difference between US and UK English. Sometimes we can't even understand what are they saying

Brazilian dub is miles ahead of the Portuguese one.
Most old anime that aired here in Brazil have pretty iconic dubs.

>>161214489

Why don't third worlders just adopt a a useful language based on latin and greek?

Blind nationalism and a sense of identity based on considering everything that one does is culture means that they view attacks on their trash languages as an attack on their culture and therefore a personal attack?

Idk, I'm basing that comment on mexicans and projecting it south.

>>161207123
you need a lot of escapism to forget about your corrupt governments and crime. Videogames are good for that too.

At least in Brazil consoles are almost double the price even after converting from dollars to reais. For instance a $260 PS4 would be roughly R$820, but you can't find it for less than R$1300 ($410).

>>161216544

Opening is ok

>>161207123

Because it was more fun and by fun i mean agresive than local animation. AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.

Seriously, nowdays cable programing is full of shows where kids act like teens and whatnot. It´s totally shit compared to the time where we had Mazinger Z, Robotech (yes, not Macross... back at that time we had Robotech), Transformers, Thundercats, Silverhawks... yes, i realize some of those are not even anime.

The anime explosion came later with Captain tsubasa and specially Saint Seiya.
By the time we got the original Dragon Ball anime was already a thing around here.

We had several chanels solely focused on anime and got some really good dubs on shows like Tekkaman, Rurouni Kenshin or Cowboy Bebop.

It was truly the golden age...

>>161216544
Vuela, pega y esquiva!

>>161216949
then animax came and everthing went to shit

>>161207123
Because the shows aired mostly uncensored on national TV. It has nothing to do with escapism, anime is just one of many forms of entertainment.

>>161217151

Yes, pretty much. Locomotion was already agonizing, Big was long gone, MK was bought by fox and became fox kids or something and CN tried one last time with Naruto or something... but there was no more anime focused chanels, heck, by that time even the weekend special programing was gone.

>>161217370
it was a sad age until internet became somewhat cheap

>>161214438
Hue here, portuguese portuguese can also be hard to understand. I remember an interview were they had to sub a portuguese scientist, but they didnt sub a spanish speaking one.

>>161217585

I remember DBZ and an anime called Shurato (which was a Saint Seiya like anime) airing on the Brazilian chanel.

As a kid i would watch that even though i didn´t understand most of what they where saying...

>>161217672

>>161217672
>Buying from Gamers or Jewplanet
>Not from Amazon Mexico or Steam

>>161216949
Over there watching uncensored anime was a norm for kids and teens, not something you'd hide (at least back then, not sure now). Once we moved to high school, some of us remained weebs, some started watching MTV for music videos and stuff, but still none of the shitty teen drama and kardashian crap you find nowadays.

>>161218212

It was easy to stay with anime considering the "grown ups" options in latin america where mostly crap.

Soccer, MTV, shitty soap operas or what? talkshows?... admitedly even some live actions aimed to kids like Sabrina the teenage witch or Clarissa explains it all where better than that shit.

Admitedly there wasn´t the amount of fiction TV shows we have today... i think the first live action ones to catch my eye where X files and Buffy... maybe Friends.

But not much else seemed to have the plots or just awesome fights anime had. Granted as a grown up i realize the plots wheren´t the complex shakesperean arguments that i remembered but still where far more interesting than the trend.

Non meme answer here. It was cheaper to import and translate than other shows from other countries. You could get airing rights for garbage nobody in Japan ever touched for very cheap and slap a dub or subs on it and you had a filled timeslot for a while.
Hence why we got very obscure OVAs and shows from publishers/studios that were desperately trying to get their cash back, and people would enjoy it because it meant more anime.
We got good stuff but also some really really crappy shows nobody remembers anymore.

I'm from eastern europe and basically what >>161211629 said is true.
Really good dub, daily episodes of DragonBall etc. Here it was basically DragonBall that got shitton of kids hooked, and obviously fucking Pokemon but that faded after we started to grow up.

The shittier life is in the country, the more people enjoy escapism
That's why anime happens to be very popular in the country that is also the #1 consumer of antidepressants in Europe

>>161227963
The people used to be nicer. Lisbon became utter shit after tourism increased, I don't know about the rest of Portugal though.

>>161207123
I think a factor is that studios didn't make much audience research so they were more open to japanese material. For example, Power Rangers exists because lots of people thought sentai wouldn't fly in the west dubbed. But LA and Brazil got dubbed sentai.
Also good dubs.

>>161214695
>Why don't third worlders just adopt a a useful language based on latin and greek?
