DB takes place in a world completely out of the imagination of a child. Most of the time manga and anime take place in either the past, present, or future of our world. They miss most influential point of the Dragonball series: it created its own unique world. They feel the show is just about “power levels” and getting stronger. The series has gotten a lot of flak lately from current generations of anime watchers. Anime would do better if it wasn’t labeled as a niche interest. Both complement each other and mix to create shows that are not labeled as anime. Astro Boy laid the foundation for anime and also shows there isn’t much of a gap between Japanese media and American media. Astro Boy looks and feels like old school Mickey Mouse, and Mickey Mouse is as American as you can get. There was even a CGI movie made here in the States.
So of course it is also one of the most influential. This is one of the very first anime made. Bleach and other anime like it move the genre out of its niche and into the mainstream. Popularity is an influence because it makes the genre feel safe. A lot of the Japanese folklore and myths that are in anime are down-right frightening to Americans. Bleach is action packed ( a boon in America) and sprinkles just enough anime-centric elements that it won’t put off those new or hostile to anime. Along with other series, it is breaking the (still existing) idea that all anime is echii or hentai. Bleach is a bridge between kiddie anime and more adult anime series. Why am I calling it one of the most influential in America? Because it is so popular. I’ll start with one of the most popular current anime. Here are 10 anime that had the most impact on America. The US isn’t as large an anime market as Japan, but anime has left a mark on our pop culture.
