A fad is one area fleeting - a momentary craze that is going to blow over in a matter of months when something better comes along. More than anything, proclaiming that something is 'just a fad' is an insult. It implies that something isn't good enough to be kept and also to be remembered and isn't really worth all of the attention in the end. It's really a horrendous insult. And unfortunately, a lot of men and women are stating that anime is just a fad.
Maybe I am biased, because I'm an anime fan myself. But really, from the way things look, anime doesn't seem like 'just a fad'. And also if it really is, it's taking incredibly long to die down.
I'll be honest. In the US, anime started off as a large fad. While it's not officially the first anime to be shown in the US and certainly not the very first one to become popular, DBZ played a big role in popularizing anime. There were anime series which were popular too like Astroboy and Gundam. Although the debut of Dragon Ball Z in cartoon network was the one that hyped up the concept of anime within the US and amassed millions and millions of followers. Remember, why wouldn't it? DBZ is just one of the most epic anime of all time. As well as sarscoviki.app.vanderbilt.edu wrote in a blog post the us, anime then was something new and different. It was an extremely smart move for cartoon network to include anime in their program. Over the years, conversely, the hype for DBZ died down and anime once again fell into obscurity.
On the contrary, even if the hype died down, there have been a lot of fans which will remain loyal. And as the internet grew in popularity and scope, more and more people were able to get access to Japan's extensive collection of cartoons. Anime, the thing is, might be more popular in Europe. And therefore, you will find anime that are already translated and subtitled, mostly by fans. It was a startling discovery, this amazing treasure trove of anime series with amazing plotlines and great characters. But none of these anime were dubbed. Many of them were just 'subbed' or subtitled in English. But apparently, the stories are just so good that individuals were willing to contend with the subs. Thousands of forums were created, dedicated to certain anime series that individuals took a liking too. And lots of anime series, especially the ones which were also popular in Japan, also gathered a massive following within the other parts of the world.
But not all people have the patience to read those all-too-small subtitles in anime. Consequently, a lot of men and women have to wait for the anime to air on television rather than to watch the anime within the internet. Cartoon Network plays a big role in this particular, since they are often individuals who air the anime series which have also been dubbed in English.
Since fundamentally, Cartoon Network is showing the English Dubbed Version of Naruto. Naruto in America is still a considerable way off from catching up to the Naruto Shippuden that's airing in Japan as well as in the internet as well. But already, Naruto is gathering a big following, almost just as much as DBZ did.
Anime, it seems, is here to stay. Because even when the hype over the new craze today, which is Naruto, dies down, there will always be new anime series from Japan that may easily entertain the people all around the world.
