FAQ About The Role of Anime in Cultural Hybridization

In what ways does anime influence local cultures outside Japan?

Anime influences local cultures by introducing new genres, artistic styles, and narrative forms, which local creators often adapt and integrate into their own cultural products. This can be seen in the incorporation of anime-style animation in Western cartoons, the influence on fashion through cosplay and character designs, and even the rise of anime-inspired conventions and fan communities worldwide.
