INFLUENCE OF THE ANIME CULTURE UPON THE FILM INDUSTRY
INFLUENCE OF THE ANIME CULTURE UPON THE FILM INDUSTRY

Summary/Abstract: Since the '80s, the anime culture begins to have strong roots in the United States. Since the discovery of the profitability of its localization in the '70s, anime has gained increasingly more popularity among the American public. In this context, it is hardly surprising that the anime began to exert a strong influence on the film industry, especially the Hollywood. This was done gradually since the mid 80s, reaching currently close to its peak. Anime influence on film productions is achieved in two ways: as a source of inspiration, or as direct film adaptations after animes. Now we can talk about a symbiosis of two types of collaborations between anime and the film industry, one direct and one indirect. In the present study, we will see how the two industries reinforce each other and progress together.
