What are some anime that if they had been made in america instead of japan they would have changed the course of american animation and would have been considered classics with a huge fanbase on Cinemaphile?

    It’s an interesting discussion point, but needs to be framed in a way that’s more Cinemaphile related. Right now it’s basically just asking ‘what’s a good anime?’ not anything specific to do with the scenario like ‘the last anime you watched is being remade by the animation team of the last cartoon you watched, how does it change?’ or something like that.

      Well it doesn't have to be a good anime. It has to be an impactful one.

      Also this would be an interesting question as well. What's your answer?

        Heavier emphasis on quiet atmospheric moments, less dialogue, the action is more flashy and stylized which looks good, but might take away the important bluntness of violence in the story. Would probably have to tone down a lot of the squickier aspects to get it approved for a Western network.

        Could actually work.

      What cartoons from one region would become a classic if they were made in another region with the same premise?
      I don't know how the hell you concluded "what is good".

        That's not what was asked though, at least not in that way - OP should have been more specific.

        In that sense, pretty much anything from the late 70s to early 90s, used as premises for western animation, would have been great. There were a ton of novel and interesting ideas for animated series coming out of Japan at a time - some of which had crude imitations in the US - it's really not up until the late 80s/early 90s when you get to peak Disney Channel, Nicktoons, and the What a Cartoon! era of animation that American animation got out of its creative slump.

    Literally any A-list anime would drastically change the industry due to it's popularity, Pokemon, Digimon, Evangelion, My Hero Academia, Yugioh, Dragonball, One Piece, Naruto etc, their sucess is far beyond anything but Simpsons and Family Guy

    Do you mean "created 1:1 as it exists as an anime, but made it America" or "same general idea, but clearly made by Americans" because all I'm imagining for the latter is wonky shit like Saban's Sailor Moon.

      The 1st option makes for a more interesting discussion so that one.

        Why is that more interesting if the resulting product is the same? I don't even think that's possible since the production processes and values between these regions would affect the final outcome.

    But it wouldn't be animated in Japan so it wouldn't have had the same impact

    Assuming it just comes out of nowhere in a vacuum, like it was a standalone production, and aside from the language being spoken in the original dub everything else was exactly the same, Akira would have been a HUGE contributor to kicking off the 90s animation renaissance and the sheer amount of talent behind that would have probably caused a Dreamworks-esque rival company to Disney to form focusing on dramatically more mature movies. Evangelion also would have been a huge one, in an environment that was mostly focusing on adult comedies and family cartoons there's suddenly this serious show about psychology in a near-apocalyptic setting.

      It feels to obvious but probably Akira. In general it pushed animation forward alot and paired with the impact films like Blade Runner already had (granted a lot later than when it came out), I feel like we would have had the Cyberpunk Renaissance alot sooner.

      Yeah Akira would have been enormous, it came out right at that critical juncture in the late 80s too that started to see animation improve dramatically in the West and probably would have led to its own line of influences.

      More significantly, something on the level of Akira coming out in the US to mainstream audiences instead of being an international movie with a cult following would probably have had a bigger influence on cultural views towards animation in the US. You’d probably have seen more animation targeting older audiences in the 90s.

    About half of 70's anime. Stuff like super robot mecha from the mid 70's on, Lupin III, and going onto the 80's, Urusei yatsura. A lot of these shows weren't that different from American cartoons conceptually, they just pushed a bit more.
