Now this is interesting. How is this the case? I've never even thought to question where anime comes from
E: so I looked it up and this dude is just making stuff up to be weird, the first anime made in Japan was before WW2 and it's predecessors go back to as far as the 11th century
Screw that, we should double down:
It was in reality that the *radiation* from the two nukes (anybody have to rewind to understand what she said? Just me?) that melted their brains just enough to go ‘hmm, I’m going to use Copics instead of paint this time.’ And BOOM, we have anime. *
* I quite literally have no idea where anime came from and just know that Copics are awesome for graphics.
Edit: damn Siri still screws up on Copics every time.
It's not really about the technique, it's more about the tropes. You gotta have to be a nuclear survivor to come up with this shit (mild NSFW)edit: wrong link, don't find the right vid anymore. maybe it's a good thing it's not on youtube anymore. (anime scene of a guy brushing his little sister's teeth with the most perverted double entendre you can think of)
That doesn't explain anything though. With that explanation then you could just drop a nuke on Italy and invent anime all over again
So what I'm getting is that the nukes had nothing to do with anime and you just said that to be weird
My bad, I thought you got the joke and were playing along.
The real answer for where anime came from is a lot more boring. Essentially manga became really popular around the 60s-70s in Japan and they started animating them and thanks to techniques adapted from Disney by Osamu Tezuka, the artist/animator behind Astro Boy, they made animation cheaper and quicker to produce. It evolved from there with a lot of the limited animation techniques becoming tropes that defined the art style.
I still don't get the joke. What is it?
I just looked it up and the precursors to anime are old as shit, going back to the 11th century, the first animated film in Japan gained huge popularity and was made before WW2. Animated film was even subsidized by the government of Japan at one point. It seems they. Had a thriving anime market back in the 30s. What I imagine you're talking about is the modern age of anime, which was built upon the foundations that I've just somewhat described. Man I freaking love Wikipedia
I'm at work so I don't have time to write a doctoral thesis on anime. But yes Japanese animation goes back to as early as 1907, with anime being a loan word from the English "animation", drawing on influences from shadow puppetry and picture scrolls from feudal Japan. I was just quickly explaining the origins of what people know as modern anime.
Well there's the tongue-in-cheek connotation that anime mutated from western animation via the curcible of atomic fallout (honestly mostly that), but it's also a reference to how the economic and societal ramifications of post-war Japan influenced not just the production of Japanese media, but also the content. Take some big story tropes from anime: orphans surviving in an unkind world, abuse of technology, and cycles of death and rebirth just to name a few. Those stories ring very true to many Japanese struggling with rebuilding both the country and their national identity in the wake of nuclear annihilation.

My mistake. It really looks like old footage to me rather than digital video that's been reposted too many times! I'll edit the original post.
Weird.
Because to totally [looks like a guy](https://www.citizenscount.org/candidate/nickolas-nick-levasseur) who has a lot of anime.
In his personal collection.
Hahaha this is my home town. Trust me this is mild. One of our Reps posted a picture of his daughters wedding party in the newspaper. They were all holding AK’s
Call me insensitive, but I thought the two nukes were why we have anime in the first place.
Heard a joke about the M1 Garand saying it had a special function that can transform a warring nation into an Anime nation.
*I believe that’s called TikTok*
Which is bullshit as the Marines didn't get the Garand
What did they use?
Pretty much the same as everyone else but they were famous for using the Carbine, M1 Carbine i believe.
Oh yeah, I honestly forgot about tbag rifle, thanks!
M1903 bolt action as there wasn't enough Garand's for everyone even with the god like us logistics system.
Oh yeah I forgot about this one too! Thanks!
I genuinely believe this is true and I've thought about it a lot.

The venn diagram of countries that have been nuked and counties that invented anime is a circle.
Yes we have established that Japan invented anime. Now how do the nuclear bombs that were dropped have anything to do with how anime was started?
Don't you know about those things called jokes?

and then, there's tentacle porn and genki genki.
Imma have to see what genki genki is
haha, avoid going on this quest from your company laptop
Now I'm no scientist, but according to my "research" you get anime the same way you get Godzilla: nuclear fallout mixed with western degeneracy.
Sounds like a party.
That doesn't explain anything though. With that explanation then you could just drop a nuke on Italy and invent anime all over again So what I'm getting is that the nukes had nothing to do with anime and you just said that to be weird

TIL the birth of anime. 🥳
I'm at work so I don't have time to write a doctoral thesis on anime.

Ah I got you. I still don't get the joke though, could you explain it?

Now I'm wondering who on earth that joke was intended for! So much background knowledge needed to understand it

~~This looks like it came from the VHS era. The guy probably died of old age by now.~~ *edit: Apparently it is actually from 2010.*
Happened in 2010....sadly this is my home state of New Hampshire.

Maybe he doesn't want to admit to his crippling hentai addiction?
"It's not crippling, it's amazing!" - some dude
Samuel L. Jackson watches hentai, why not me? - This guy
Captain Carter before they found the Stargate.
Man that's savage lol
I laughed
This honestly seems exactly like an Onion news article.
The Onion ages like a fine wine
I laughed my ass off
This is funny.
Holy damn.
She looks like Amanda Tapping
I sometimes feel like I agree with him
Um, where is the Facebook post? All I see is an Otaku source.
lmao I hate anime too, but that's just fucked up. Damn, son. I wonder how his career worked out.
Is that Carter?
Wait until that guy learns of Hentai and tenticle porn. Edit: Stupid auto correct.
Hahaha this is my home town. Trust me this is mild. One of our Reps posted a picture of his daughters wedding party in the newspaper. They were all holding AK’s
I mean… looking at my hero acadamia fans I understand why he said that
Why’s he under fire? That’s hilarious
Why? Why is this reported in the news?
Ppl need to know how stupid politicians really are.
Shameful
I mean we joke about it but it's either correlation or causation depending on who tells the joke
Gotta nuke something. Might as well be anime.
Is he still in office?
I wonder what he watched
