Why would anyone want a mascot who has never won a fucking league in two decades?

Pikachu's the only valid complaint you've got, but I guess that yokai thing is the zoomer replacement.
Seriously though, why the fuck wouldn't they include Pikachu?

Um, shouldn't it be BORUTO - the new generation?

Why would Japan use a burrito to promote the Olympics?

Miyazaki probably didn't want his works to be associated with the olympics for some inane reason

The Yokai are based on actual japanese monsters from myths and are very culturally relevant in that regard despite any stylistic choices.

Pikachu was already in an official announcement

How is nobody pointing out that this is technically the second time Sun Wukong represented a country in the Olympics?

No, one punch?

At least two of those are icons in several countries

I get they want the heavy hitters, but it seems a bit of an oversight to miss out something that is currently relevant. They're all older picks, I would have gone for at least one something with major current sway. The only one there thats really big right now still is OP; DBZ is just spic trash outside of the recent Broly. Plus filling it up with basically shounen vs magical girl really glosses over a good chunk of the industry.

Probably because it was good.

It's not a celebration of international appeal; it should be a nip thing because its the fucking nip olympics.

Yokai Watch and Shin-chan mean nothing to nobody who's not a Jap. Should've had Joe Yabuki and Pikachu.

Shin-Chan is popular outside of Japan, though
Especially in the Netherlands

Aren't you 3 years later for this thread? Anyone knows if the Baby Metal managed to win the poll to play in the Olympics?

Isn't Pokemon banned in some countries? I guess they went for the second best option that definitely is Yokai Watch.

Pikachu is a host, you nigger.
That's above ambassador.

This
All those other names only appeal to creepy manbabies; nintendo probably asked too much for pikachu's rights

Not even the hardcore fans of Naruto think Boruto is canon.

Exactly. You didn't even get pikachu right since he's actually been in the Olympics publicity along Mario.

Why didnt they just use Honoka and Nagisa? They're the most iconic and aren't already irrelevant. Plus it's not like this precure is even aired outside japan either, unlike futari wa which at least got a dub. There's no relevance factor anymore, no international appeal... What's the point

Yeah, Yato should be up there instead.

Maybe we get Kirino somewhere, since she already is an ambassador of Japan.

Everyone else doesn't even parse. Especially not Kirito or Ichigo you bait-poster.

Fuck pokemon, fuck pikachu and fuck you.

Precure is the last real Maho Shoujo that isn't lesbian psychos killing each other/people disguising itself as maho shoujo. Precure sucks, but it's all they have left.

As for Yokai Watch I have no fucking clue.

From anime quality perspective these aren't amazing choices, but they are more than qualified for the job as mascots.

I do agree that no pikachu is weird, but it could be that nintendo were assholes and pulled drama when offered to have him used as mascot.

Like 12/3 yo.

astro boy is still a known figure in most asian countries, fuck off goblino

>hurr why no popular anime characters I like
why didn't Japan ask your opinion as the master of animes, fuck them

Not everywhere in the world USA you mutt. Shin Chan is huge in Asian countries.

Didn't they make an Astro Boy movie a couple years back?

No Gundam, Godzilla, Kamen Rider, or any kind of toku or kaiju is just stupid as far as impactful on Japanese media and culture

To be fair to the other user, if it's only Asia that Shin-chan is popular in, then most people don't care about Asian countries that aren't Japan, China, or Korea. Though, says that Shin-chan is popular in Europe, too. Guess it's kinda like Lupin; never caught on in America for whatever reason.

This. Putting in Youkai Watch is basically a way to add the youkai folklore and shintou into the whole deal.
All of those are popular brands, but aside from Naruto, all of them are based around foreign settings. Whether it's the Chinese wuxia for Dragon Ball, Carribean pirates for One Piece, pseudo-European mahou shoujo stories,...

Not really. In Cure form each have 18/19. So it's fine.

>no real life rolemodels, historical or still living, so they have to use entirely fictional ones instead
Pretty embarrassing to be honest.

>Weaboo thinks that because all he knows from Japan are cartoons there's no historical or still living role models there.

I didn't say I know everything. Japan's the one using fictional ambassadors, so clearly they don't have any worthwhile non-fictional ones they can use instead.

isn't there any other more popular series based around japanese folklore?
Maybe Lum?

This

I mean, either that or they just have more faith in their cartoon ambassadors over their IRL ones. Which arguably is an even worse thing I guess.

They know that anime is a huge export and will bring in tourism and overseas views, dingus. All of these characters are instantly highly recognizable and will connect to a wide group of people around the world.

arent these just TOEI franchises

Why Youkai Watch instead of Kitaro?

Shin-chan is very popular in Latin America

Well Bleach just didn't have the staying power that the other 2 have. They had a nice start but lost momentum pretty fast

Because its primary audience is young teens & kids? non-sexual adult anime is a niche

>no FMA
thank god for that, shit is only overrated in burgerland

nobody elsewhere cares about that dead forgotten series

>Yokai Watch getting some rep
Thank, God. I don't want the franchise to die. The TV show is much too charming for the series to suffer a premature death.

This stuff isn't chosen based on the quality of the product itself. It's retarded you'd even assume that after living on this world for I assume longer than 18 years. It's based on popularity, so these 'classics' that are no longer relevant won't show up anytime ever

These four are literal whos outside of Japan, and for all their popularity in Japan, they have made little cultural impact there, whereas the other five have had enormous cultural impact. If it's just anime characters, then I think adding a Gundam to represent the whole mecha genre would have been more reasonable. Maybe even a Digimon or Yugioh, or even Totoro.
