| France is the second country after Japan which buy the most of manga. |
| Manga sales in France are probably the way they are because France (and Belgium as well) have a long and great history of making amazing comics so it's kinda understandable why they would buy so many mangas as well. Really, France is damn huge on comics. And yeah, unlike USA comics, French comics tend to be very story driven so they might find manga appealing because of that as well. (of course many comics from USA have really good stories but episodic super hero comics are what sells there) While we are at it, I can make a few recommendations when it comes to French comics: *De cape et de crocs - really great comic with an amazing story and very likable anthropomorphic characters. *Le Scorpio - a really badass comic set in medieval times. It's about "cursed" guy and his journeys all around the Europe and middle east. Tons of tough fights in this one. *The Adventures of Tintin - don't let the art or the lighthearted tone fool you. It's an amazing read (I think author might be from Belgium actually, but yeah, close enough) *Jeremiah - Great Belgian comic about post-apocalyptic USA And of course, who hasn't heard about Asterix and Obelix, Iznougood, The Smurfs, Lucky Luke? :D |
| Overseas license count suggests: China & US most then Australia, Canada, Thailand, Italy  (source: http://imgur.com/a/PmUFR) |
| I would say France. Manga and anime are pretty huge over there. |
| other asian countries china & korea being the main ones |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| I think it is quite popular in the Philippines. |
A retard is trying to prove his point, thanks. |

There are tens of more. |
| I hate nice girls. If they so much as say hello, it stays on my mind. If they return texts, my heart races. The day one calls me, I know I'll look at my call history and grin. But that's just them being nice. People who are nice to me are also nice to everyone else. I almost end up forgetting that. If the truth is cruel , then lies must be kind. That's why kindness is a lie. I gave up on always expecting it, always mistaking it, and even hoping for it. Someone who's' worked so hard at being alone doesn't fall for the same trick twice. I'm a veteran at this. I’m the best when it comes to losing. That's why I'll always hate nice girls. |

Better than a lot of Japanese manga imo. |
| From being around on the internet I've seen that there is a very large anime following in Sweden, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil. It's pretty intriguing. |
 |
| Though anime is more popular in other Asian countries, I think it's still plenty popular in the US. Definitely wouldn't mind going there just for the huge-ass conventions. (My first one was in Atlanta when I was in the US last year. It was huge and unlike anything I've seen in my country before.) |
 . . . . . ✘ . . . . .DO NOT touch my rice. . . . . . I'm Asian. . . . . . |
| Ummm... asian countries i hope?! (Anime= asian animation) :P |
 |
| I live in Hong Kong and it is definitely more pro-anime here than the west. Anime in general is significantly well-known by Chinese and Korean millenials. I presume it is the same for SE Asia as well |
| I'd say, "what anime influences other countries", is common nowadays, I mean mindlessly thinking of a country, without proof is just bullshit. |
| I'm gonna say the US considering how many anime conventions we have. |
 |
| According to this, it's: 2. Philippines 3. Saudi Arabia 4. El Salvador 5. Peru 6. Indonesia 7. Chile 8. Malaysia 9. Mexico 10. Bolivia Of course, Japan holds the #1 spot. (I'm quite surprised my country is next to Japan though...haha!) |
| By number: China by a landslide. Likely comparable to Japan. Probably a significantly bigger community than all Europe/Au/NA combined. On the internet, One Piece's page alone currently has over 6.42 million followers/270 million posts on China's Tieba Baidu. By percentage: Hard to tell. East Asia, France, Germany, Brasil, and some parts in the Middle East like Iraq and Saudi Arabia to name a few. In Iraq, some anime characters and figures are associated with the culture itself and are frequently used and referenced in jokes by adults and kids alike. Examples are Nils Helgersson, Sasuke Sarutobi, Sinbad and Grendizer. The great majorities of Iraqis recognize those names. |

| Idk but I'm guessing it's any country that screens many anime movies in theaters. And not just miyazaki films or select theatres. |

He's on a crusade against edgy anime, I love that guy! Turtles_Leader said: As you can see when you watch the numbers, French market is still a lot bigger than US market. Especially when you think french market (so including french talking parts of Belgium and Switzerland) has about 4 times less potential readers (I mean in term of global population). It's often easier for me to find stuff translated or subbed in french than English, and when it comes to manga, you can find a lot of 70's books that will never be translated in english. Any library has Akira in A4 format, a shitload of taniguchi, tons of gekiga, ongoing series, etc... BTW, dunno if it's translated in english yet, but read Kasane. I'm talking to you all. |

| Here in my country... (Philippines) Well, we have A LOT of Anime fanatics. Most well known Anime here and flocked by fans are One Piece, Attack On Titan, Naruto, Slam Dunk, Doraemon, Bleach... Also, wherever I go outside, I can see some people wearing some Anime clothes or Anime bags with Anime key chains. (ex. Trafalgar Coat from One Piece, AoT bags) |

 |
| Spain. Practically everyone has seen at least 3 or 4 anime in their lives. There's even a Mazinger Z statue. |
 One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does. |
| It's fucking China... Why is this thread still around? Who fucking cares. |
| I don't which country but I do know that its definitely not my country. |
| Just read this Article 👉👉👉👉👉 http://goboiano.com/original/5163-google-shows-how-popular-anime-is-in-each-country 👈👈👈👈 |

| Definitely Kazakhstan and Kiribati |
  |
| From what I can see, outside of Japan anime is easily the most popular in America. English is the language of the West and when I visit English forums and message boards discussing anime, most posters seem to be from the US. HOWEVER, this only accounts for the West. I can't see how big the anime fandom is from this side of the Great Firewall of China, so I have no idea how it compares to America. Presumably, the Chinese anime community could be larger due to China's larger population (and thus, more potential anime fans), but the various countries of Asia are vary antagonistic towards each other, and the Communist Party tries to regulate what makes it into China. Even if the Chinese can access anime on Billibilli or whatever site, there might be cultural reasons that would hinder the growth of the fandom. Or, I'm talking out of my ass. I don't know. |
| philippines is one of it definitely |
| I don't know the exact proportion, but according to Google Trends the top 5 countries that search for the word "Anime" the most are: 1- Philippines 2- Mongolia 3- Bolivia 4- Vietnam 5- Nicaragua Sad, I thought my country Brazil was gonna be more up in the rank, but sadly it is in the position 32 in the ranking. |

| bout manga it's de facto france but for animes it's harder to figure out |
| I would assume maybe ..asian countries? But from the countries i've been to, anime seems to be quite popular in France (if i compare to my own country). I still remember seeing multiple things related to anime there, even a Black Clover thingy on a small billboard like those you see at bus stops. |
 |
| If it's South-East Asia, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore |
| Philippines, Saudi Arabia, El Salvador, Peru, Indonesia and Etc. - https://animemotivation.com/top-25-countries-who-love-anime-the-most/ In Google Trend (2004-Present) 1 - Philippines 2 - El Salvador 3 - Indonesia 4 - Nicaragua 5 - Bolivia |
  |
| It's definitely libya, congo and chad |
 |
| In Italy they are pretty popular, however it’s difficult to estimate how much they’re popular. |
 |
| As it was already stated many times in this thread, mangas and animes are really popular in France Older generations tend to focus more on movies, especially the Ghibli's, but generally people under 40 are fans of all sorts of animes I believe it's mostly due to the "Club Dorothée", a TV show from the 90s that broadcasted a lot of now classics animes like Dragon Ball It was REALLY popular during its airtime, so I guess it helped a lot with the spreading of anime across the country And, as someone already said, comics are also a huge thing here in France, and this since the 1950s. So it's pretty normal for mangas to be popular and well received The dub industry is also really big even today |
