Would we have still gotten anime if Imperial Japan had managed to survive WW2?

I have no idea. The only way I could imagine it coming about in a way that is similar to what we have today is if the empire had some sort of cultural revolution in the 50s or 60s.

Manga caused via American occupying force distributing comic books, with which they paid for sex with Japanese boys.
Nolan Wood
You're probably right. Everything America gets its hands on turns to shit
Daniel Bailey
Nope because Imperial Japan is conservative as fuck.
Postwar Manga and Anime pretty much started as a rebellion against traditional Nip culture before the Suits coopted them. Hence
>The hero is always young (i.e. fuck older people).
>The hero is an unconventional rebel flaunting social mores.
>Pacifist themes (i.e. fuck militarists)

No, because those two nukes really softened them up because before animation that gave characters anatomy that would defy human physiology. The Japs forcibly sterilized people and would be forced to commit suicide if they screwed up in the smallest ways.

I don't think so, faggot.
Eli Sanchez
yes

Every anime and manga would be like Gate, except even more extreme
Bentley Reed
That's Edo Period. In terms of sexuality, the Edo Japanese were more liberal.
The Meiji period brought with it Japs trying to ape Western mores and so tempered down on anything pornographic via censorship. Even prostitutes were hard pressed to do business as they did back in the Edo period.

Anime already existed during WWII.

Nah, every anime and manga would be more like Sayonara Zetsoubo Sensei.
Wyatt Flores
Fucking weebs need to get off the board
Ryan Cox
You can fuck off anytime, newfriend
Ryan Anderson
No.
The media will be censored by the Imperial government and the very act of making animation itself will be viewed as "waste of war resources".
America saved Japan in a lot of ways.
Nathan Garcia
Anime predates WWII you retard.
Carson Anderson
They made anime propaganda films though, famously Momotaro
Jose Baker

Luis Hill
They deserve a third nuke

We would've probably gotten anime but it would be full of shounen shit with moe anime revolving around serving the emperor
