FROM NETFLIX ADAPTATIONS TO MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY FLOATS TO A WIN AT THIS YEAR'S OSCARS, THE GENRE HAS SEEN AN INCREASING AMOUNT OF VISIBILITY IN AMERICAN CULTURE. ALI ROGIN IS BACK WITH A LOOK INSIDE THE WORLD OF ANIME AND MANGA. >> MY SPIRIT TREMBLES! MY HEART IS ABLAZE! ALI: IT IS AN ART FORM THAT'S HAVING A MOMENT. ANIME, JAPANESE ANIMATION, AND MANGA, JAPANESE COMICS. HOLLY IS ONE OF MANY WHO DISCOVERED THE GENRE DURING THE PANDEMIC. >> I COULDN'T GO TO COLLEGE, COULDN'T FIND A JOB, SO I WAS IN A PRETTY DARK TIME. . ALI: STUCK AT HOME WITH LITTLE TO DO, HER COUSINS RECOMMEND THEY WATCH ONE PIECE, AN ANIMATED PIRATE ADVENTURE SHOW BASED ON A MANGA OF THE SAME NAME. >> SINCE WE WERE UNCERTAIN HOW LONG WE WERE GOING TO STAY HOME, THEY WERE LIKE, ONE PIECE IS LONG, IT'S SO ENTERTAINING. THEY NEVER TOLD ME IT WAS LIKE 1000 EPISODES. ONE PIECE FANS KIND OF TRICK YOU INTO WATCHING IT. ALI: THE VOLUME AND VARIETY OF CONTENT, FROM FANTASY AND HORROR TO ROMANCE AND DRAMA, IS PART OF THE APPEAL. >> ANIME TAKES YOU TO A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. IT SHOWS YOU HOW ARTISTIC PEOPLE CAN BE, HOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE GROW UP OR HOW DIFFERENT THE WORLD LOOKS THROUGH ANIMATION. >> WE COULD NOT FILL THE STORES FAST ENOUGH. ALI: THE BARNES & NOBLE SENIOR DIRECTOR OF BOOKS. >> THE READERS ARE SO VORACIOUS, IT IS A GOOD THING THE SERIES ARE SO LONG AND SO BEAUTIFULLY DRAWN BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO THEY LOOK FOR 10 OTHER SERIES, THEY GO BACK AND REREAD. LAURA: MANGA SALES IN THE U.S. QUADRUPLED FROM 2019 TO 2022, WITH THE PEAK OF 28.4 MILLION COPIES SOLD. IT IS NOW THE FOURTH-LARGEST FICTION CATEGORY IN THE UNITED STATES BEHIND ROMANCE, THRILLERS, AND FANTASY. >> IT IS ONE OF OUR TOP 10 SUBJECTS. DURING THE PANDEMIC IT WAS IN OUR TOP FIVE CONSISTENTLY. ALI: THIS HAS BEEN HELPED BY LOW -- BY OTHER FACTORS, APPS WITH LOW SUBSCRIPTION FEES THAT ALLOW AMERICAN READERS TO ACCESS CONTENT WITHOUT LONG WEEKS WAIT FOR TRANSLATED COMPANIES -- TRANSITED COPIES. STREAMING COMPANIES LIKE NETFLIX INTRODUCE VIEWERS TO MORE FOREIGN MOVIES AND TV. IN 20 22, DRAGON BALL SUE BIRD: SUPERHERO DEBUTED NUMBER ONE AT THE BOX OFFICE IN THE U.S. AND GROSSED NEARLY $87 MILLION WORLDWIDE. IN 2023, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, AN ACTION COMEDY INSPIRED BY ANIME, WON BEST PICTURE AT THE OSCARS. IT IS NOT A NEW PHENOMENON. WE WENT TO AN ANIME CONVENTION IN VIRGINIA TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND THE FANDOM. THERE ARE MORE THAN 100 GATHERINGS LIKE THIS ONE ACROSS THE COUNTRY EVERY YEAR, A CHANCE FOR ANIME AND MANGA FANS TO CELEBRATE THIS ART FORM. THIS CONVENTION HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 1999. FOR MANY IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN ENTERTAINMENT. >> HAVE SOMEONE ON THE SPECTRUM, THIS IS WHERE I DEVELOPED AND LEARN HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND DEVELOPED MORE SOCIAL SKILLS. >> HAVING US HERE AS A FAMILY RINGS US CLOSER TOGETHER. ALI: NOLNI AND HER BROTHER STARTED WATCHING ANIME IN THEIR TEENS, THEN HER MOTHER BECAME INTERESTED. >> MY KIDS WERE LIKE, MOMMY, COME SEE THIS SHOW. I SAT DOWN AND WATCHED WITH THEM. I GOT HOOKED. ALI: LIKE MANY, THEY CAME IN COSPLAY, THE TERM OF DRESSING UP AS CHARACTERS FROM A FAVORITE SERIES. >> I STARTED OUT AS CLOSET COSPLAYING AND I HAVE STARTED JUST EMBRACING IT AND TELLING PEOPLE THIS IS WHAT I DO. ALI: FROM INTRICATE COSTUMES TO EVERYDAY CLOTHES, IT'S A GENRE THAT ATTRACTS A RANGE OF PEOPLE AND PERSONALITIES. >> IF YOU ASK THE AVERAGE PERSON WHAT AN ANIME FAN LOOKS LIKE, THEY WOULD PROBABLY SAY SOMEONE CRINGE, WHO DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, WHO SITS IN THEIR ROOM ALL DAY. PEOPLE WHO LOVE ANIME CAN BE ANYONE AS LONG AS THEY HAVE AN ACTIVE IMAGINATION. ALI: THAT SENSE OF IMAGINATION IS PARTLY WHY TODAY'S POP CULTURE IS FULL OF REFERENCES TO ANIME, FROM GRAMMY AWARD WINNER MEGAN THEE STALLION -- >> ♪ ALI: TWO SNEAKER COLLABORATIONS. >> THIS SHOE IS A RESPONSE TO ADVERSITY. ALI: EVEN ACTOR AND DIRECTOR JORDAN PEEL'S BLOCKBUSTER FILM NOPE REFERENCES AND ANIME FILM, AKIRA. >> THE MAINSTREAMING HAS HAPPENED SLOWLY BUT SURELY. ESPECIALLY IN THE BLACK AND HIP-HOP COMMUNITY. ALI: THIS JOURNALIST IS ANIME AND MANGA APPEALS TO A GENERATION THAT LOVES AN ANTIHERO. >> THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT THE GOOD GUYS ARE GOOD AND THE BAD GUYS ARE BAD. THEY WANT TO HEAR IT'S HARD TO BE AN ADULT BUT EVERYONE HAS TO DEAL WITH THESE DIFFICULT EMOTIONS. THAT KIND OF HEIGHTENED REALITY IN GENERAL APPEALS TO YOUNG PEOPLE. >> I WILL BECOME THE GOD OF THIS YOUNG WORLD. >> ANIME DOESN'T JUST SHOW YOU THINGS A KID INNOCENTLY WATCHES. ANIME SHOWS YOU DARK OR SAD THINGS. IT MAKES YOU FEEL THINGS MORE DEEPLY. ALI: ANOTHER PART OF THE APPEAL IS THE ART. >> I JUST REALLY LOVE SEEING ARTISTS' RENDITIONS OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND SEEING THE WORLDS THEY CREATE. IT LETS ME GET LOST IN THEIR CREATION. ALI: UNLIKE WESTERN COMICS WHERE ARTISTS AND WRITERS WORK IN COLLABORATION, MANGA, EVEN ONES THAT RUN FOR DECADES, IS OFTEN THE WORK OF A SINGLE CREATOR'S UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE. >> SOME THINGS I HAVE READ, LIKE THE DELUXE EDITION'S OF BERSERK, YOU CAN SEE HOW HE TAKES EVERY SINGLE ITEM AND ILLUSTRATES EVERY SINGLE LEAF AND EVERY SINGLE DROPLET OF BLOOD AS DIFFERENT CHARACTERS GET THEIR HEADS EXPLODED. THERE IS A LOT OF IMAGINATION AND THAT WILL ALWAYS IMPRESS ME. ALI: IT INSPIRES MANY FANS TO PRODUCE THEIR OWN ART. >> ME AND MY SISTER WATCH A LOT OF SHOWS, SO I GOT THE ARTISTIC START FLOWING AND IT INSPIRES MY WORK. ALI: DAVID LOMAN IS AN ILLUSTRATOR, ONE OF DOZENS SELLING THEIR WORK AT THE CONVENTION. >> EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN INSPIRATION FROM THE CHARACTERS. WHEN THEY SEE THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTERS ON THE WALL, IT HAS THAT MOMENT OF SPARKING JOY, ENTHUSIASM THAT THEY SEE THEMSELVES IN THE ARTWORK. ALI: ENTHUSIASM HAS DIPPED -- SALES HAVE DIPPED FROM THE PANDEMICS RECORD HIGH, BUT THE GENRE IS HERE TO STAY. >> IT IS NOT AN OUTSIDER SUBJECT. READERS HAVE DEFINITELY STAYED AND CONTINUED TO BUY CONTENT IN A WAY THAT SHOWS THERE IS STAYING POWER. >> BEFORE I USED TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE ANIME. NOW IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW ANIME, YOU ARE COOL, YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND NOW. ALI: GAINING VIEWERS AND READERS ONE CHARACTER AT A TIME. FOR PBS NEWS WEEKEND, I AM ALLIE ROGAN. -- ALI
