Mystro69 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 What do you think is the percentage of american over the age of 18 that are fans of watching anime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishamanP Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 If you limit it to over 18, you probably shave off half of your group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aipom93 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I have to agree with FishamanP, restricting it to 18+ will drastically decrease your numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellyhoose Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Good question. I would say the average is pretty high. It's gotta be to keep toonami on the air in the us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wroth Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) add a tick right here I would say pretty high, might be higher if they aired something a little better than toonami though... with a better time slot Edited January 10, 2013 by greatwroth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Probably not that many, from the americans I know none of them even know what anime is and when explained to them they just call it cartoons and compare it to actual cartoons. So I'd say probably 15% know what anime is and 5% actually watch it or have seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelVIII Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sorry Dark, but I'd have to disagree, there are way more of us Americans that know of Anime than you give us credit. I would say atleast 30% know what it is,and 25% watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Majority of you still call it cartoons so ner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGG Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'd say 40% know what it is and only 10% watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Conquest Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I bet the numbers where higher when DBZ was airing on toonami then they are now although most people don't know the difference between cartoons and anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Agreed with God here(never thought Id utter those words lol), DBZ drew in A LOT of viewers, some who I think didn't even know what anime was... again calling it cartoons!

j3kyll Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Apparently a large number of Americans watch anime. Otherwise, companies like Funimation would not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulstrong Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 i would like to think many, but most of my friends are like why do you watch cartoons.. i say they are called anime and have a deeper story than tom and jerry. at that point i loose them....

cilkel Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 You'd be surprised at how many americans watch anime. There's a lot of us out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionx Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'd say at-least %30 belive it or not their was a time when dbz was more popular then ameirican idol but that era's long since gone anime is rare on tv but toonami isn't the only anime block syfi,ifc,g4tv and spiketv have all aired it at some point also if you live in an area with comcast cable I thik you can get anime channel on demand and the funimation channel but that was a while back those channels may not exist anymore. not that I care I haven't watched tv in a long time.

fleshcut Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 i would say 70% of people under 30 have seen a anime before. If you look at hulu or netflix anime is always on the main site and just from talking to people they have atleast watched a few eps of random things to see what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendon't Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% Animated shows are regarded as kids stuff here and anyone above like 15 that still watches them outside of movies is seen as a weirdo.

Tanis Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 A lot more than you'd think. Toonami was insanely popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendon't Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah, but the OP means 18+ year old people that are still actively watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
