Big American cable stations like Cartoon Network, Disney, and Nick will usually have their American stuff broadcast in foreign countries. They try to force those shows onto people in Japan and some people end up watching or at least have their T.Vs on but those shows don't do well when compared to domestic Japanese shows. |

Well, as Anime_Name said, those companies tend to shoehorn in and force their shows in other countries because of how rich they are. It's not like anime here where companies have to license individual shows, Nickelodeon/CN/Disney buy air time in other countries and handle all that themselves in an attempt at globalization, which usually fails, but I guess they still make enough money back to keep doing it (except Nickelodeon, which got kicked out of Japan when Nick Japan shut down) Anyway, the only western show Japan really knows of is Thomas the Tank Engine, but it's British not American so I guess it doesn't count. Also it's not really a cartoon, it's live-action stop motion. juken16 said: I have been wondering how does american animation do in japan and i dont mean shows like spongebob or power puff girls i mean action adventure shows like young justice, Batman TAS, Johnny Quest you know shows like that do Japanese fans take to them Oh. Well, no, they don't like those shows. The only western animation that even blips on the radar is really one or two random preschool shows like Thomas. Mainly since they air on NHK, which is the Japanese equivalent of PBS. And to be honest, that's mostly because those shows help kids learn English (and some older teens as well.. it has very basic dialog which makes it a good learning tool to help them learn English and basic sentence structure) But as far a like, the latest superhero or American action cartoon, not really. Not when they have shows like One Piece, Naruto, and etcetera at their fingertips. There's not much reason to watch anything else from other countries. Anime is a lot more popular in the US than US shows are there, especially with the online community. I believe since anime offers things western animation does not, while western animation doesn't really offer anything you can't find in anime. |

juken16 said: i thought that but then why do japanese like american superhero films live action i mean didnt the avengers do really well over there Did it? All my sources don't list Avenger's turnout in Japan, so either it hasn't premiered there yet or hasn't been collected yet. Though you're talking about a live-action movie, not a television cartoon. The movie market is completely different than the television one. Movies aren't as big in Japan as they are in America (or really anywhere outside America, since Hollywood has a monopoly on movies) Most movies in Japan don't make more than 10 million dollars USD at the box office. Though if you want a list of how well recent superhero movies performed in Japan. In 2011 Thor made almost 6 million, Captain America made about 3 million and Green Lantern only made half a million. In fact, the top movie of 2012 so far in Japan is the annual Doraemon movie, which made 42 Million USD. That's be considered a flop by Hollywood standards, but pretty dang good for Japan's standards. |

It's just that 40 million is small compared to American theaters where the bigger hits tend to be over 200 million. Since you live in japan i want to ask how did marvel anime do in Japan because it was all over the place here in America mostly alot of mediocre or bad reviews They were very poorly received. I don't think they even had a video release in Japan, but I didn't look very much into it. If it did, it was pretty small. |

Fui said: CaptLuffy said: I thought they loved HollyWood movies I'm pretty sure Pixar stuff (3D animation) does pretty well overseas. Japanese viewers shell out big $$$ for Pixar and for other American animated films. It's not fair to compare box office receipts on a dollar-to-dollar basis as the population of Japan is less than 1/2 of the USA, but consider this: 2011 Toy Story 3 - Japanese box office ~ $108million - $0.85 per person (not too far from US gross of $1.33 per person) 2011 Arrietty - Japanese box office ~ $92.5million - $0.73 per person More box office receipts for Toy Story 3 than Arrietty IN JAPAN??? Well, maybe Anime makes huge $$$ in the USA because we are film and anime fanatics? No. Top box office for Japanese animated film in USA: 1. Pokemon: The First Movie - USA box office - $85,744,662 - $0.28 per person It drops off fast after that. So, American animation can do very well in Japan, better in fact than Japanese animation has done in the USA, but as others have pointed out it depends on the particular product. |

All you did was cherry-pick some Disney/Pixar films that grossed really well and ignored so many failures like Cars, Ice Age:Meltdown, Shrek the Third, Corpse Bride,Rango...I could go on but the point is to not just look at the top 1% when trying to making a generalization about an entire market. I agree that some Disney/Pixar movies can be huge blockbusters around the globe but that mostly has to do with how well Disney markets it's products and doesn't really say anything about the overall performance of American animated movies in Japan. |

It's too specific and narrow of a view to be a worthwhile measurement. |

Animated films are making ~30 billion yen per year in Japan, so nothing to sneeze at. The animated TV market is larger, but there is a glut of competition. |

And most awareness of Amecomic characters comes from the live-action Hollywood movies (which isn't all that different from America to be honest. When you say Iron Man, most people are going to think Roberty Downy Jr, and if you say Wolverine, they'll think Hugh Jackman) Though as verdstein's links point out, Non-Japaneses films make up roughly 50% of the movie market in Japan, which is quite a lot. So yes, movies are one place America is noticeable in Japan because on their own they don't make anywhere near as many as America does. Movies have always been monopolized by Hollywood. It's just this sometimes applies to animated films as well so sometimes they gets big turnouts like Toy Story 3. Though not always.. Cars 2 made only a fraction of what Toy Story 3 made in Japan. I do not get that considering the amount of movies japanese studios produce with in a year in its prime dragonball made 2 movies a year Making movies is one thing, but having them be huge blockbusters is another. The budgets for movies in Japan are only a fraction of what they are in America, so they can only make 10 Million USD and still turn a profit, where as most movies in the US would consider it a bomb. |

It appears that about 90% of top-grossing imported films in Japan are from the US. http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/yearly/ http://www.eiren.org/boxoffice_e/ The reason I've been citing film stats is because they are easy to find and are generally well organized. In terms of DVD sales, it seems the ratios are comparable. E.g. the fraction of the foreign market in Japanese animated DVDs is ~10% http://www.jva-net.or.jp/en/genre_2001-2011_en.pdf For film, foreign animations box office receipts are also around 10% of the total for animations, though higher in years with foreign blockbusters like Toy Story 3. |
