What is today’s most popular (in term of audience) Japanese animated TV show in the US? What genre does it belong to? What is the general storyline? On what platform is it distributed? Why do you think it resonates with American audiences? Is it as popular in Japan?
One piece is an example of what is popular now in terms of animation from Japan. It’s broadcasted mainly on streaming platforms- rare on Television. I think it resonates well with Americans, or anyone actually- because of the appeal it gives. The style is less like what we are have- ranging from serious stylization like Marvel and Dc to something as cartoony as Looney Tunes. With what is presented in Japan in terms of Animation, we can come to an understanding that they give off this appeal for beauty.
Another reason is the morals they execute. This is a personal opinion but Japanese animation seems to be very good for the youth- as in a way it gives us a sense of reality and ideals. That’s exactly what One piece does- as well as other Japanese animations.
Its genre is action and adventure!
