Is it safe to say that animated comedies like Futurama and Family

>>84085426
>animated comedies like Futurama and Family Guy
Sure.
>anime like Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion
No you fucking retard

>>84086242
Why not

>>84086242
AS was the first American network to air those shows though

>>84085426
Family Guy wouldn't have come back on the air without AS

>>84086242
The opposite of this.

>>84087620
You think AS had no bearing on family guy and futurama's popularity? Are you retarded?

>>84086242
Wrong. You must have been too young to remember, but the popularity of Bebop worldwide and Eva in the West is a direct result of when they aired on Adult Swim

>>84085426

anime is popular in it's own right, you have no idea

no, futurama and family guy would be played on shit like netflix these days and they owe all their popularity to the simpsons

>>84087774

yeah man, some of the top animes of all time are totally popular because a few white kids in the west saw them

>>84087962
if he's talking purely about the american market, there's a case to be made

>>84087990

there really is not an american market for anime because of the way anime makes money

>>84087962
exactly

OP here, yeah I'm talking about in the west

>>84087774
Evangelion was already plenty popular before Adult Swim to the point where the Adult Swim airing suffered because of how many people already saw it.

>>84088078

in that case anime has nothing to do with the west, they literally don't want our money. we do not dictate anything with our buying power.

>>84087567
So? Nobody fucking cares about tv networks. People just stream and torrent shit. The internet is how people were exposed to it.

Itt: retards

>>84085426
Cowboy Bebop: yes, because it's not popular in Japan
Eva: no, because it is popular in Japan

>>84089393
