The title of this thread is pretty self-explanatory.
What if anime was never created in this world of ours?

Post how you would feel or what you would watch for one, here. ^_^

My reply would be that I wouldn't have found Scandal in the 1st place (bleach)

Awwts..^^ Sure It is hurts to Mami.....(kidding) .common.

I don't what will happen in the world..
Well, .chesttap. I like your said Scandal wouldn't found..
But still we will met Scandal in the other way....

"Poor kids" That's all I can say. Animated films have been around since the birth of television. So basically, I can't imagine what my life would be without them.

I'll agree with mikan. You can't even make a logical assumption, with the way technology has been advancing back then.

I guess there will be no such things as TVs, and heck maybe even computers.

If digital media doesn't exist, I honestly cannot think of that. :stress:

If there was no anime.. well.. it's hard to imagine. Since I was a kid, me and my brothers were already an anime and a game fan. I think if there was no anime, i'm much a different person right now. Even in music, I first got hooked to j-music through anime. And if there was no anime, i think Japan is not like Japan!

Well, first thing, I wouldn't have known SCANDAL...
Second, I might wouldn't learn Japanese...
Maybe my only hobby would be either watching, or playing football..

I wouldn't be a weaboo

well....we wouldn't know the difference if we lived in a world where anime was not invented because we won't know what anime is...

same answer with sshinoda95.

We would not know what would happen if there was no anime since if there was no anime , we would not know the feeling of having anime. (LOL) ok im talking crap.

i wouldnt have a life if there is no anime.. seriously.. without anime, all the things i can do now, i wouldnt be able to discover them if there was no anime.. i dont listen to music before i finally discovered anime music.. so yeah.. i would have no life.. and no friends.. that's how much it has contributed to my life ^_^

Without anime, hmmm... .hmmm.

maybe (just MAYBE), Japan will not be as rich as they are right now because of the huge amount of animes being exported to other countries and translated to their respective languages.

these may really come true with those earthquark and radiation and more stuff

well we will see after it happened

if there is no anime..it must be no TV exactly .. oh well, maybe we still doing a lot war of kolonialism instead war of culture



heya.. my thread before was locked altough what I meant in that thread was different thing

in this THREAD.. is talk about IF the Anime was never created in this world

but in my thread that have been locked is talk about:

WHAT IF anime, Manga, Cosplay and Game (THAT already exist NOW.. SUDDENLY prohibited by ALL government in this world)

that I meant about in my LOCKED Thread.. (doh..)

I bet that was totally different thing (in my assumption...)

what is the implication and what this world gonna be in next near future.. THAT's what I want to know...
(doh..) sorry for my bad english.. but I need your opinion guys..

PS: I'm sorry for my sentences, but i just want to explain the difference.. I hope this not considered as SPAM

If this world doesn't have Anime maybe this world doesn't have Otaku Anime !!! .uhuh.

no anime would mean NO spiky hair, NO giant swords, NO weird chibi creature characters, NO cosplay... No inspiration for games...

the world would... overall... be a dull place.

I love 'Bleach', 'Hetalia' and 'Naruto', I do not want to live in that world with no anime !
How could I live without Tifa and Aeris ?

Our girls will not exist.. hehe and other Japan Stuffs..

Life without Dragon Ball Z and Saint Seiya as a child? Oh god no.

kids wouldn't throw their dogs at people and yell "Growlithe, goooo!!!!"

There would be more stressed, robotic, unimaginative & lonely people, if anime were to suddenly disappear/banned/wipe from our minds.
People would lose a means to unwind from the troubles of their daily lives.

... modern manga started in 1945, when Japan became open to American influences, and the rest is somewhat history. XD I think if I were to think about a world without anime, it would be a world without any form of animation, including Disney, or certain advertisements.

Anime is just one form of expression -- there are other story telling mediums. If we were talking about 'anime' as an adaptation of Japanese manga, then the above mentioned would probably be true, and there would be less of a market for seiyuu, and otakudom would be limited to manga and live action movies, maybe even novels.

If we are talking about 'anime' as 'animation', then there wouldn't be CG ... I think. And that's depressing lolol

I agree with TanyaLilac but I also think it is amazing how just drawings can
affect you so much and make you laugh or cry !

I think Japan wouldn't be as popular as it is now.. That includes Japanese artitsts too, which would mean J-Pop, J-Rock and V-Kei and anything "J" wouldn't be as popular as it is now. And, I guess my sister wouldn't wish to go to Japan anymore, as well as most people. Also, people won't wish they were Japanese, (which btw I don't agree with.. I'm happy with my brown skin and flat nose thank you..) And, I guess we would be stuck with Holywood and everything american or western (no offense!) which.. is gonna be a little boring..

@DUL7
I agree with you 100%.
It would be a really boring world if everyone was the same !
I love Japanese culture but I am quite happy to be English.
