Looks like the picture is from Little Witch Academia. Basically Harry Potter the anime at a girls school, but as a comedy and with better worldbuilding. Though thats not a high bar to clear over Potterverse...

It really is weird how despite anime becoming much more popular in the states, all of the anime references are STILL so early 90s dated. I'm not expecting any deep cut here, but there hasn't been a demon slayer reference in anything? Really? I don't even like demon slayer, but it was a huge enough thing for years that its a reference that people/kids will get.
We only barely are starting to get stuff referencing 2000's era anime, like the death note simpsons episode. I can't think of anything more recent than that.

It's just people that barely know any anime referencing the popular stuff that even they're aware of. It's like talking to someone that only knows about what they see from the MCU but nothing about the characters from comics.

First image is retarded, trying to claim ownership over sex and violence is fucking ridiculous.
>>152682855
Second image is silly, most of these comparisons have nothing in common, and the commonality effectively ends at "Guy with prosthetic limb fights demons."

JJBA also had the whole arc where they go to Disney World and the bad guy makes fictional characters real. And the anime had to chop the hell out of western media references.

It's so embarrassing

A lot of the cartoonists from the 90s are still the ones making cartoons
Also pretty much all the same (((people))) who were managing/running the studios and networks are still there, even if shuffled around

All LWA needed was boys
I've been saying this for a decade
If you want to REALLY appeal to girls, give them a cast of boys and let yaoi fujos do the rest
Then have the girls be there for yuri
And then straight het shipping
LWA is Japanese so I can't say that was a conscious decision like it would have been in America, but earlier last decade, people assumed if you wanted to appeal to girls, you just used girls doing girly things "but strong" and the more girls, the better
Ironically that appeals to men more than anyone (i.e. fantasy of being cute but still masculine)
What women want is fujo bait
If LWA had that, it'd be bigger than any other anime in the West right now

Almost like America spent the latter half of the 20th century as a massive cultural superpower who influenced literally everyone else's media.
Fuck, manga as we know it basically owes existence to Mad Max

My favorite is all the times Star Trek got referenced because it's a classic. And then Star Trek TNG got all sorts of 80s and early 90s anime references hidden in the lore and background props of TNG. Hell the Stargazer used Orguss and Macross plamo and a scene used Macross plamo as shrapnel in someone's face. The phasers use like Nadia the Secret of Blue Water shit. Dirty Pair and Uresei Yatsura is hidden everywhere.

Digimon has so many confirmed and non confirmed. First of all the entire art style was inspired by 90s extreme comics, Spawn and Hellboy. This guy was made in 2020 and they said Spawn and Venom inspired it.

On the subject. There was (arguably still is) alot of cross-pollination between nerds and otaku.
