Paraphrasing Sources
Leonard(2003) said as time goes by, interest in "animation" increased unexpectedly all over the world. Income generated from animation increased highly for the past years. In fact, even the Prime minister praised animation on his speech. He viewed anime as “the savior or Japanese culture.” But there is one question that arose between this ruckus, "how did anime, once regarded as a product produced and consumed exclusively for Japanese children, become such a powerhouse in the global media market?"
Anime being famous was not because of insisting it to others but because of people are attracted to it. It was at 1960's-1070's, where they "studied or served at the military", when people went home they all boast about anime in Japan. Despite the fact that they don't understand what they are talking about, they are still mesmerized by it, as what one fan said "We didn't know what the hell they were saying, but it looked really cool.” As technology rises, distributing anime became much easier.
