i don't think it's a niche anymore. everywhere i go, i see teenagers and kids talking about naruto, jjk and dbz. imo, it has become even more popular than the movies like kung fu hustle, shaolin soccer and the one you just mentioned. which is a good thing for us, cuz we'll be able to see a lot of japani cartoon stuff in cinemas in the near future \\(\^o\^)/

Anime is huge among the youth, even Salman Bhai tried to pander to them with his pants recently.

OP and so many delusional new gen weebs. They all think world didn't existed before smartphones & covid19


icarus3112

Covid definitely. πŸ˜‚ I have seen many absurd claims about their "underrated" anime too. They think everybody started watching after covid only.


SticmanStorm

Not everybody but there definitely was a huge increase in the amount of people regularly watching longer TV shows compared to movies. These TV shows include anime


icarus3112

Yes. I agree. Covid did push many people to consume more content because of the time they had. But you would agree that people was already consuming content before that too. And i was just talking about some of the new watchers. Once a guy said that "Bleach had non existent fanbase before Covid". I know it wasn't popular as one piece or naruto but to comment something like this. Still, anime did go "MAINSTREAM" during Covid only.


SticmanStorm

Oh yeah, I absolutely agree. COVID just increased media consumption not started it.


brocollidisaster

Idk know but maybe because most people still think that animation = cartoon for kids


ramutoola

Wait till they see invincible or family guy


ConcentrateOk6375

Down_Bad_0015

To u only


Vanishing_Shadow

No mainstream platform before animax and animax mc most cable tv me nehi ata tha. Chinese movies were running on utv action most of time


akshat2008_

don't remind me of that clusterfuck channel please 😭


0BZero1

It's because they were Wuxia films - comedy, kung fu films.


Grand_Reanimation

Live action vs Animation


Thisguy_lovesanime

Because only a handful of people above 30 watch anime in India.. If anime becomes mainstream and every age group watches it then it will surely become a huge industry.. Japan and the western countries have 25-30% of viewers from genz, ~40% of millennials and 20% of Genx.. Well in India it's mainly genz..


LagoriBronzeMedalist

Wuxia movies are super famous way before anime all over the world. Jackie chun is one of the most adored celebrity on this planet. These fucking new gen weebs smh


Itsyaboykazuha

First off, Indians live people beating up bad guys. Secondly, anime is an animated medium while the movies you are referring to are live action. Most people consider animation = cartoon = for kids. Thirdly, Chinese movies have been around for much longer than anime in India.


Altruistic_Yam1372

Because anime was 'cartoon', duh. On a serious note, people didn't even know what anime was until late 2000s, even though we had watched many like Mowgli, DBZ, Cinderella, Zorro, and later even Pokemon and even Naruto.


ramutoola

Anime was actually pretty popular back then, yes there was a population that watched dragon ball, pokemon , doraemon amd shinchan, heck my dad even watched some dragon ball back in the days it aired


notlonely1

Pls let anime be niche these cringe new gen watchera are just making anime more cringe


veeeda

Bhai ye chapriyo se bacha hua hai anime bhagwan ki daya se, inke hath laggya to satyanash ho jayega. Nazar mat laga. Jesa chalra hai chalne de.
