Japan government names the most iconic anime characters ever

No Gundam was bullshit but Naruto is/was a legit worldwide phenomenon

>No Pikachu, but have Jibanya instead
Yeah, this seems legit

remove everything except goku, sailor moon and nardo, also can pretty much add this

where's pokemon

The google trends list is more accurate honestly
> 1. One Piece - Luffy
> 2. Kancolle - Shimikaze
> 3. Love Live! - The μ's
> 4. Evangelion - Rei Ayanami
> 5. Naruto - Naruto Uzumaki
> 6. Madoka - Homura Akemi
> 7. Yu-Gi-Oh - Yami Yugi
> 8. Dragon Ball - Goku
> 9. Doraemon - Doreamon
> 10. Fate Series - Saber
> 11. Case Closed - Conan
> 12. Pretty Cure - Miracle/Magical

Listen as much good as Attack on Titan is it's not iconic yet Sailor Moon, DBZ and Naruto are, give it some time and maybe it will reach the levels that those three have. Attack isn't a genre changer at the moment nor has it inspired generations (for good and ill) that those three have, that shit takes time for it to sink into the collective consciousness. But I doubt you give an actual shit about that and are just shitposters who escaped form the general trying to spread your feces everywhere

just accept the fact that kids doesn't care about Gundam anymore

Pikachu was named ambassador for the entire country alongside Hello Kitty, he was deemed too big for this particular event & they use him for government meetings instead

No Seiya?

Where is Jojo?

No Konosuba? What the fuck its the biggest show this decade

Hahaahahahaahahahahaa

Jibanyan instead of Pikachu is a fucking joke. Yokai Watch flopped outside Japan and its latest games are flopping inside Japan.

Whereas Pokemon is literally the highest grossing media franchise of all time.

> Love Live that fucking high
Why?

How can the kids don't care about fucking giant robots?

Does anyone give a shit about Pretty Cure outside Japan? I get that they wanted some female representation but they could have used Chihiro who would be far more recognizable

Because they prefer idols and gacha games instead of this old people robot shit

Yes, this is solely based on Japanese popularity

It's a travesty that Gundam isn't on there.
I'm also sad to not see Lupin on there but I can see why.

>they use him for government meetings instead
That's a cute mental image.

The fabled japanese shit taste strikes again

Pretty much all of those are wrong and only applies to their nation save for Naruto,Sailor Moon and Goku. The rest you either have to be a native or an Otaku to really acknowledge. Pikachu or Gundam are both far more iconic and they probably only put the rest of those there because someone greased their palms. Shit even Love Hina is a better choice than fucking Yokai Watch.

Shimakaze would be too lewd to be shown in official olympics material anyways.

> Japanese country only cares about things that are popular in their country
> Implying what subhuman americans think matters
Imagine being this retarded

>t.shounenspic

Objectively speaking, all of them are accurate except Yo-Kai-Watch & Shin-Chan
> PreCure (13 Billion) (762 Episodes) (Creation: 2004)
> Naruto (10.1 Billion) (500 Episodes) (Creation: 1999)
> Sailor Moon (14.3 Billion) (200 Episodes) (Creation: 1991)
> Dragon Ball (24.3 Billion) (800 Episodes) (Creation: 1984)
> One Piece (21 Billion) (894 Episodes) (Creation: 1997)
> Shin-Chan (1.2 Billion) (990 Episodes) (Creation: 1990)
> Astro Boy (4.75 Billion) (104 Episodes) (Creation: 1952)

AoT could've been there if htey had kept the fire hot after it first blew up in 2013.
But because the anime industry doesn't move that fast they shot themselves in the foot and waited too long.
back then even normalfags were talking about AoT like it was GoT, now it's kinda become another anime.

Boku no Hero is the current zeitgeist.

>Triggered pedo idolfag kek

> Says i'm triggered when you faggots are the ones crying about how the goverment is wrong & literal who neckbeards like yourself are metrics for popularity

No Doraemon? Weird.

Precure, but no Cardcaptor Sakura? I'd like to see Horo as well but I can understand why she's not there. But CCS was on air at the same time as DBZ and Sailor Moon, it should be included.

Also missing Ash Ketchum from the Pokemon anime. Huge whiff there.

Basically I'd drop Precure, add Sakura and Ash/Satoshi and leave it at that. Otherwise it's a decent list.

Gundam hasn't been massively popular worldwide since SEED.
I don't know about precure or yokai watch though.

> Leaving Yokaiwatch
> Removing something as iconic as PreCure

Is precure really that popular outside of Japan? This is for the olympics, right, so the focus should be on iconic anime characters OUTSIDE of Japan.

Yokaiwatch can be removed, for some reason I didn't notice it Actually I just don't know what that is and ignored it to focus on precure, which at least I recognized in the picture.

It might not be popular but it is recognized everywhere at least the generic one is. People may not know the name but they know the mech just by sight

Attached: 01._RX-78-2_Gundam.jpg (1484x2436, 660K)

why does yokai watch count but not pokemon?

I agree with kakarot, sailor moon, naruto, one piss, astro boy and shin shan. As for the others, well... they arent really famous outside of japan.
I would have put there the evangelions, thats for sure.

>the focus should be on iconic anime characters OUTSIDE of Japan
I agree, but watch it. Some people here will get really triggered if you say that.

So many people are asking for the removal of Shin Chan, do you people even know how big Shin Chan is is Asian countries? It's weirder that Doraemon isn't here.

>teen Goku and kid Naruto

Interesting choices. I get they want them in base form but wasn't Goku especially popular in his adult form/DBZ and most iconic as a Super Saiyan?

It made 13 Billion dollars, which is more than Naruto. If you remove PreCure than Naruto should be removed as well

This is accurate except you can tell they added a few extra female characters because the world is watching and they don't want an sjw shitstorm.

Pokemon will probably be in the video game mascots section, or possibly even its own thing since Pokemon is the biggest franchise of anything ever.

Past profits/revenue don't matter in this business case, it's all about potential future profits/revenue. Are gaijin going to recognize Precure and buy olympics merch? Or are they more likely to recognize and buy Naruto 100M dash merch?

Naruto has to stay to bring in weebs the world over. Precure? Not so much. It's more niche outside of Japan even if in Japan it's a big money maker.

I don't give a shit if I piss people off. That's what anonymous posting is all about.

Revenue = Popularity

>and they don't want an sjw shitstorm
They fucked up by showing girly girls and not mature strong women who don't need feminine features

>Jibanyan
What? I was told nobody cares about Youkai Watch anymore.

Nips would overwhelmingly vote to put manlet over him.

I find weird that there's no Conan there, the latest movie made more money than Avengers in Japan

jojo is trash

This was decided in 2016

They're probably trying to sell merch, a good spread is best for this.

They'll sell plenty of naruto merch to foreigners and plenty of precure merch to nips.

>mature strong women who don't need feminine features

Pokemon is banned on some countries so I guess it would had been offensive, Yokai Watch is just as popular and with no controversy so, makes sense.

No. Who the fuck would pick these for the Olympics? and who the fuck hired those people who made the picks?

The government held a vote across the country & over 17,000 elementary schools & 200,000 classes were responsible for voting on all of the mascots

It's glaringly wrong. I will photoshop that crappy character out and then the picture will not be so bad honestly

Doraemon and Detective Conan are kind of glaring omissions, honestly.

Yokai Watch is popular with kids now, they watch it on Netflix.

I've literally never heard of any of those

This was a poll done for elementary schoolers and maybe middle schoolers in Japan.

I guess they are not that popular among the current generation of Japanese kids. Sorry user. But Conan's audience is old.

Gundamshit and Death Note hasn't been relevant to actual Jap kids for ages. Same with Jojo. They have an older audience now. I suspect Conan is popular among older audiences now too.

In what fucking world does Lain beat out MHA, or do shounentards just watch anime on their phones and TVs?

These are the most profitable anime, CCS does not make money, is not attractive to non-anime fans, no commoditized value

It is impossible for Olympic products to choose an animation endorsement that does not make money.

>Who the fuck are they kidding?
That Nintendo wants an arm and a leg from them.

It would be more sad to say you have work tomorrow and be on Yea Forums. Now stfu and accept my facts.

The Olympics is a window for the world to understand Japan.

Instead of using the Olympics to please foreigners

The purpose of the Olympic Games is to spread what Japanese people like, rather than to spread things that foreigners like. What foreigners like is not important at all.

Believe it or not, mecha is a genre for REAL autists. it doesn't have a space in the mainstream media.

>What foreigners like is not important at all.
Keep shitgliding

>Cardcaptor Sakura
Cardcaptor Sakura isn't as big as you think it is.

I'm surprised One Piece is that high in the U.S. It's been off Toonami for like 2 years

What he's saying is true though, major sports events are used to promote the culture of the country hosting it.

That is fair, I forgot to mention him. But I am American

You should ask, why do you like the anime that has not been chosen, why do you like the animation does not make money, the animation that does not make money means weak attraction, the number of core audience is small, the Olympics as a window to understand Japan, how could it be? Choose an unattractive anime endorsement of international events?

That's the only one I don't understand.

yeah and the whole point of doing that is to make things attractive to foreigners, which is impossible to do without taking into consideration what they like.

It's fake it would be below Yugioh and Bleach and MHA would be on the list.

>most popular
FTFY

Yokai Watch feels out of place.

According to Nishikawa (TM Revolution) there is something SEED-related in the pipeline.

Nah they don’t.

>The mahos
>Jibanyan
No.

I understand if people think that Conan should be chosen(it's honestly something people outside Japan do like as long as it was marketed well in their country). But I guess whatever system the committee in Japan used said no.

>remove luffy
you dont seem to understand how popular it is in japan

only four of them really belong

>Gundam makes more money than almost everyone of those listed
>Not included
Is the Japanese government still sour that BANDAI dropped the ball during the 00's when Wing was followed up by the shit that was SEED?

I don't even know what those shows on the left is

Even if that's true they shouldn't even base the choices on a vote.

What the hell do they think these choices will accomplish? New stable fans? The Olympic tourists will cause a temporary spike in Google searches and proceed to forget about them. The domestic and international anime/manga fans are already initiated so their palette won't change either.

What they should've chosen are sports series like Captain Tsubasa, Ashita no Joe, Slam Dunk, etc. A sports event that comes only once every four years and these clowns waste billboard space on a clueless roster

This counts from 2004-2019, not simply the 2010s

>No Ken Shiro
>No Doraemon
>No Lupin
>No Pikachu
>No giant robot of some kind, be it Gundam or an Eva
>Some literally who witches instead of CCS

Yeah, no, shit picks

Since it was a list made by the Japanese government, it is almost certain that entry into the top was based solely on if a politician was friends with someone or if it was a politicians favorite anime

The ambassadors were announced years ago, yodiddy fever was still in recent memory at the time. Or, at least, less completely irrelevant than now.

Gundam's got a different role in olympic endorsement than the Brand Ambassadors. They're doing a promotion with the ISS, I think.

See, Gundam, Doraemon and other anime series all have their place. Goku, Naruto, and Astro Boy are established series with global popularity. It makes sense that Japan wants to use the opportunity to promote them, but as Olympic ambassadors?! I am absolutely convinced that whoever greenlighted those choices is an old, clean shaven, bespectacled Japanese dude who's gone senile before retirement age

Yea Forums is peak fucking stupid today.
These choices are all perfect, I can't believe Yea Forums has fallen so low as to actually think Pretty fucking Cure is some literally who series. That's the kind of thing I'd expect from shounenshitters on MAL.The only one out of place is Jibanyan.

Also Doraemon, Pikachu, and Mario were already all part of the announcement trailer it seems you forgot, you guys sure are acting underaged enough for me to believe you don't remember an event from 3 years ago.

They should’ve picked these as mascots.

As far as I can tell, there's nothing outright saying these were chosen out of a poll. Seems like these characters were decided just off of general popularity, with Mario, Pikachu, and Hello Kitty being considered full ambassadors

Season 2 was in development hell forever and it was followed by the most poorly written, boring political shitfest of an arc after that. Basically all the old fan base dropped it after that.

Yea Forums mostly is shonenshitters from MAL

they use Bing

Only Goku belongs because he's a competitive martial artist and martial arts are at the Olympics.

The only reason these cucks know these anime is because of bad dubs and the fact that the internet is streaming everything for free.
The anime the Japanese picked were the greatest of their time and still are.
These are anime that have spawned countless follow up series, spin-offs, games, toys and are a part of the childhoods of even Generation X and are known to Babyboomers despite there not having been any streamingsites.
All the younger anime, however, are only popular in the west thanks to the internet and are iconic to zoomers, known by millenials (but only those who are weebs or have kids) and practically unknown to Babyboomers.

Shin Chan and Goku could have carried the Olympics by themselves, especially in the early 2000's.
That's how iconic they are.

No Joe Yabuki is a travesty

>Yea Forums is too retarded to know about precure
Seriously?

In addition to SLAM DUNK, the popularity and sales of other sports animations are very low. The mainstream works of JUMP are not related to sports.

The image ambassador of the Olympic Games does not have to be related to sports. The important thing is the popularity, and the animated characters give the audience a comfortable and healthy impression.

That's why late-night animations haven't been chosen, because most late-night animations give viewers a dark, bloody, violent, erotic impression.

this list does not need to consider the feelings of foreigners. This is a window to spread things that Japanese people like. There is no need to please foreigners.

Sailor Moon is the most profitable magical girl. Precure can't surpass Sailor Moon now. Sailor Moon is still holding stage plays and concerts. By contrast, CCS is almost forgotten.

Weeb has long changed from "japan ophile" to "japanese thing I don't like"

Most of the time if you're watching the sport you played it yourself at one point or another or can appreciate that it's people competing at the highest possible level. The fact that it's real and unpredictable adds to the tension. It's no more a waste of time than reading or watching fiction

Looking good save for Yokai Watch. Also, I dunno if Precure is really that large.
They could have Gundam and Saint Seiya represented in some way.

>Wow Yea Forums is shit
>dumb Ameriturds
There's the thread summed up. Enjoy.

The Olympics is a window to let the world know about Japanese culture.

The Olympics is not a window to please foreigners.

The Japanese government does not need to consider what foreigners like.

And the tourists who go to Japan to watch the Olympic Games are not all anime fans.

I don't even know who those frilly ass motherfuckers on the left area
Also it's clearly representing most iconic series not character, otherwise the rest of the core dragon ball and sailor moon casts would be there.

>doesn't consider what foreigners like
>removes all traces of loli shit everywhere
Yeah okay

Which country was it that had a mascot blatantly representing that the Olympics were taking place in a survelience state, UK or China?

>he fell for the memes

>The Japanese government does not need to consider what foreigners like.
And yet they clearly do
They have been delibritly holding back on prosecuting the kyoani arsonist to avoid offending the more whiny nations before the Olympics with a death sentence.

How popular is Yokai Watch in nipsland?

It has overtaken Pokemon in revenue.

Born in the same year as FATE
The most successful magical girl after 2000
At least in business and influence

I get having a Precure, but they really should've considered that they'd be out of date by the time of the actual Olympics.

They did which why it changed to huggto and then star twinkle

Fuck off boomer

Villains can’t be mascots.

Pokemon on suicide watch

so, no ygo character?

I think the precures and Yokai watch have no place there and should be replaced by Gundam and Pokemon respectively. It's also missing Anpanman, but otherwise I completely agree.

Zoomer detected

Pikachu is literally too big for the Olympics.
They dwarf in comparison.

the Japan Olympic committee can’t afford to pay the money to use pikachu

those are also the not controversial character. It's also kinda interesting only half of those characters are actually japanese

jotaro will probably show up il later campaigns since araki was elected to participate too

Satoshi/Ash had so many laughable losses that even a trainer at first arms could have avoided, as such your comment is trash.

>No Doraemon

this is bullshit

And who the fuck is that gay cat?

>in the first episode he literally defeats himself and blows up Misty’s bike in the process
>not her motorbike, her bicycle
>he fucks up so bad he somehow makes an inert metal bicycle explode

Rei broke anime so bad they don't even want to acknowledge it.

Your personal opinion is meaningless
Precure is the best-selling work after 2000
The Japan Animation Association recognizes that precure has a huge influence on the Japanese animation industry.

youtu.be/4t-GV4XcJak

NHK didn’t even help its own CSS to promote it on TV shows, but instead helped other TV stations’ precure to do TV promotion.

youtu.be/5k84jNkMvI8

mainly marketing. It’s super sentai for little girls, if you go to the kids merchandise section in stores the boys stuff has super sentai and kamen rider while the girls stuff all has precure
mcdondald happy sets you can choose sentai toys or precure toys

>togashi shafted once again

That's funny that you say that, because there are a ton of Japanese people who believe Disney is a Japanese company because of Mickey Mouse

Agree with middle four. The rest are literally whos in comparison and shouldn't be there.

And yet Pokemon decides it should downsize itself.

>fat son comic dot jpg

Doraemon and Pikachu should have been in place of Naruto, Precure or Yokai Watch.

Is there even a competition at the Olympics the Japanese can win?

They explained later that Pikachu was omitted because he's so popular worldwide that they were worried people didn't even associate him with Japan anymore.

>Doraemon ended 30 years ago, and is probably isn't as big today as the other titles there.
>Asking to use nintondo characters for anything sounds like a pain in the ass, not to mention from what I know yo kai watch is apperantly more popular than pokemon at the moment inside japan. Yokais are also very pivital japanese monsters where pokemons are just creatures from a popular game. Naruto holds the most traditional japanese charge than all these characters.

Doraemon is still ongoing, the manga ended because the author died but the tv show is still going on

Huh. didn't know that.
Still, I think shin chan is a better choice.
shin chan is more of a family show than a kids show and has a lot of emphasis on the japanese family household and daily life, something worthwhile in representing the country.

>Do you agree Yea Forums?
I agree with Goku and Sailor Moon, astroboy maybe but not with the others, sure the others may be famous but not iconic.
Naruto?! Please! Nobody cares for that faggot, he's not iconic, neither is Larufy.
Shin chan is just a gag character and the others, I don't even know who they are.

I that Goku IS the most iconic character.

precure is soul

The moe girls, naruto, Laruffy and the cat, aren't any of those things you mentioned, there are other animes that represent Japan, worldwide.
Captain Tsubasa, Hkuto no ken, Saint Seiya, Doreamon, Lum, Ranma, Rupan sansei, are all far more popular and representative of Japan.

Dumb ESL poster

Cope, narutoshitter.

most of the show is him flapping his dick around and pointing his ass at people tho

This isn't a "what's the best anime" debate. none of the titles you mentioned besides doraemon are fit to represent japan.
Ken, seiya, and runma, and lum are all not only not popular in the east right now, but they have little in the way of representing Japanese culture
Lupin's about vice, every movie has drugs sex and titties, they can't put it on TV easily next to the olympics
What? you think I wouldn't want kenshiro repping the olympics?

Miracle and Magical are more popular than Black and White? based

shin chan is pretty soul, friend. you don't need to start blasting against something good just cause you think it stands against your favorite show.

I love Maho a lot more than most of Yea Forums but I'm still surprised they were chosen to represent Precure instead of Nagisa and Honoka.

why no Ghibli?

Attached: image_1507886420_59e08554e1cb6.jpg (739x415, 61K)

Eh, not that I think Lum should be there but it's a pretty good representative of Japanese culture, folklore at least. Yokai Watch has the covered though

Maho was the season currently airing when they picked these characters, I thought they'd update it every year leading up to the olympics or something. But this is nice because Mahos are the best.

They update it, there was an olympic poster with Hugtto on it. Probably have one with Twinkle now

I wonder if the next year precure will be specially Olympics themed.

I am sure they will use all of the cures just like DBZ will use characters other than Goku.

Rumor has it that they'll use that theme for the next sentai.

Will we get a cripplecure to represent the special olympics? ...nevermind we will just get a retarded pink like we do every season.

She will be the main act at the opening ceremony.

>All these people ITT absolutely ass-blasted about Jibanyan and screaming that he's irrelevant when Yo-kai Watch is still very popular among children in Japan
Also what the hell are all of you crying about anyway? Pokemon's still being represented. God, you're all so damn touchy. Really just says a whole lot about the people that come to Yea Forums.
Also, Yo-kai Watch is the perfect series to show off the Japanese mythological Yokai in a fun way that children can relate to.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a mater of what's best, it's a matter of what was and is iconic, sure, a bunch of internet nerds may know all about loli moes and naruto but if you ask people around the world, of all ages, they will say Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, captain Tsubasa and few others, these animes have been airing in Europe for several decades and I'm sure they're pretty famous in the American continent too.
One piece is not as famous outside of Japan, most people are going to recognize Goku and Sailor Moon but they're going to be clueless about the rest.

The issue is that people are screaming because their obscure whatever of choice wasn't added instead of popular stuff.

Well the Japanese government didn't seem to think so, so you should take it up with them.

Idiot

Naruto had an Olympics OVA if I remember correctly

Pretty Cure, or Glitter Force by Saban.

>No Yugi

Eren is a family man with a cute Aryan waifu and a baby on the way. How is that not wholesome and family friendly?

The series also has to be good

Goku is a martial artistsl and athletic all around. I can totally see him being used to sell a sports event. The rest I kind of agree with you, but since when are the Olympics about sportive spirit? That shit is for amateurs.

Are you retarded? Unicorn's profit peaked over 2x over SEED's. It was literally the best selling entry in terms of merch and nothing else even comes close. That's why they replaced the RX-78-2 statue with a Unicorn. And even though it's dropped off it's the best selling anime franchise every year second only to like Pokemon which was originally a game franchise

The lack of Doraemon surprises me

Then why the fuck are like 90% of those series there? You're not seriously suggesting Yokai Watch, Naruto and Precure are any good, right?

Also a huge chunk of the growth came from global sales, which was why after Unicorn they've been focusing on more "globally minded" entries like IBO which had a shit ton of westaboo western mythology and politquing as the theme and background, Bandai even outright said they're trying to focus on their growing international market

Eren is a jew and the Titans are allegories for golems. His genocidal rampage is a metaphor for the Jewish rage against the whites and western civilization for letting them become science experiments and sheeps to the slaughter in camps

The only surprise here is that stupid yokai watch thing instead of pikachu, and possibly a lack of conan. Otherwise love them or hate them these are all pretty iconic and recognizable to the world outside of Japan.

Okay I understand that Pikachu is a bigger rep than the ones up there, but I'm just confused why they put Yokai Watch in there like at all? It wasn't that popular. Conan would have made a lot of sense and is popular in many countries. Can someone explain this? Did they just need a cute non-human mascot?

Rate my choice:
Goku - weightlifting
Ippo or Joe - boxing
Slam dunk - basketball
Captain Tsubasa - soccer

Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell)
Shotaro Kaneda ( Akira)
Sailor Moon
And I don't know, a samurai/ninja character: Jubei ( Ninja Scroll), Jin (Samurai Champloo), Musashi (Vagabond) or Naruto.

But I think Luffy and Jotaro should also be here so there 12 characters instead of 10

Yokai Watch just really lucked out. These were chosen at the peak of its popularity when it was doing very well on tv and movies and spin-offs games were selling better than any Pokemon spin-offs ever did right after that came Yokai Watch 3 though which killed the dreams of it becoming a Pokemon tier franchise.

>Precure can't surpass Sailor Moon now.
Precure has been more profitable than Sailor Moon for years if you look at Toei's financial numbers.

Also, if you look at parodies and such it's pretty clear in Japan Pretty Cure has supplanted Sailor Moon as the archetypal magical girls. Sailor Moon is only there for the international audiences since they likely acknowledged Pretty Cure isn't that big internationally.

>Naruto?! Please! Nobody cares for that faggot, he's not iconic, neither is Larufy.
Literally the #4 and #1 manga of all time but sure okay

My balls vibrated at the sight of this post.

Anyone would recognize Goku regardless of which form he is in, except Super Saiyan 3 and 4 i guess.

NHK owns the copyright of CCS, but even NHK does not attach importance to CCS, nor has it promoted CCS. NHK has helped precure free publicity, helped precure to establish voting websites, and helped precure to produce TV promotion programs. NHK did not give CCS a generous treatment.

Even NHK does not value CCS. How can the Japanese government pay attention to CCS?

Will Im@s perform in the olympics?

Then stop with the P-Bandai bullshit.
>P-bandai is my Pearl Harbor.

I also find it very strange that NHK owns the copyright of Clamp, but NHK seems to hate Clamp.

Tsubasa: Halfway through the production of Reservoir Chronicle, NHK suddenly stopped investing, and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle almost faced the fate of being shackled

NHK also deliberately changed the TV playing time of Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card and deliberately changed the TV channel.

NHK did not help Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card to promote it. It’s really weird.
