That's kinda crazy if they do. I am not one to ask for facts but I have seen quite a few Indians who will say that everyone in India grew up with shit like Doraemon and shounen. Or something like that.

For them to continue is something that is seemingly very popular too.

Where did you even get this from?

I remember there was a lot of uproar for indian fans to get Makoto Shinkai's Weathering with you film to air legally in indian theatres - so much so that they managed to get it aired in india legally based on the success of the petition signing for it; so they definitely don't hate anime. (can't remember where I read it from)

No, I don't hate anime. I think anime is becoming more loved in India these days and may surpass utter crap like Bollywood someday.

Well I am an Indian and I can say the anime has a very large fan base in India. Mostly people born in the 90s because we had a childhood which had animax and DBZ,Pokemon,bayblade,Naruto etc. New crop of fans are brought into the fanbase by anime like AOT and death note. So the fanbase and love is only going to get bigger..

As an Indian, I can positively deny this statement

In fact it is completely opposite of what you said...... our mainstream entertainment media (Bollywood) is an utter shit industry with few exceptions of some regional industries who create somewhat quality stuff for the masses to consume

So it is impossible for any foreign media (average/above average quality) to get any hate in India๐Ÿ˜…
Even an average Hollywood movie is considered great here

I grow up watching cartoons like Ninja hattori,perman etc. There is no reason for me to hate animes๐Ÿ™„.


I would say Animes are less popular here,because latest animes don't air here in T.V.


I don't know about animes until I watch anime suggested by my friend.So I can guess others don't know about animes too๐Ÿ˜.

If anyone is wondering why is he asking that, it's because couple of fairly popular Indian youtubers made videos like why India hates anime but they weren't necessarily hating on anime tho.
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

Nah, in fact, it's getting even more popular but yeah with all the popularity toxicity is also coming, for instance, people who watched the DB series as a kid think it's a 10/10 masterpiece that can't be surpassed like wtf? And then we got the new anime fans who just started watching for like a week and scream that Demon Slayer is the best anime ever made and say things like Baka, senpai, Arigatou and such but I guess it happens all over the world.

it's also extra work to find stuff to watch using phone as not everyone can afford a pc at home ya know.

Eh not really. The actual concerning fact is that Anime is perceived as cartoons for kids. Which I believe isn't an only-Indian thing.

Gradually but people are getting aware of this fact.

I'm Indian and I can confirm that I hate anime. In case you were wondering, all my ratings are false.

Seriously though - no, it's just that people haven't had enough exposure to anime. The only ones that have been aired here and were watched by loads of people were Doraemon, Shinchan, Ninja Hattori, Hagemaru, etc. so people think they're for kids. Oh, and 80% of 'real' anime fans in India have only watched Naruto.
