WELCOME
The Globalization of Anime Reference Guide and Database.
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THIS?
This a database for resources looking at the influence of anime outside (and inside) of Japan. We will be focusing on the industry and communities in different parts of the world from an economic perspective. We will discuss popularity trends, such as popular styles and genres, and compare that to other animation such as Chinese animation. We will also examine how Japanese animation inspired new aspects of pop culture and fan engagement, such as VTubing, and cosplay cons.
