Pretty sure black kids love anime way more than Filipinos. WHERE'S THE JUSTICE!? NWA!
Anyway, sounds like a cool program. |

Are you serious? Philippines is one of the countries which don't frown upon otaku culture.

"Um...yes, I am young Filipino boy who like the anime shows..."
"What do you mean you know I'm American? Damn it!" |

Toei already has an anime studio there for years.

For those interested, bear in mind that this is an EXCHANGE program. As such, they're aiming for those who are majoring in animation, illustration, design, and so on. You may go ahead and say that you are a huge anime fan, but how can you justify taking part in the otaku exchange program when you are, say, a nursing student or an economics student?
So yeah, it won't be for everybody. But hey, you can still go give it a shot. Oh, and here's the full details for those interested: http://www.ncca.gov.ph/downloads/JENESYS2.0/2_Application%20guideline%20üiJENESYS2.0%20Traditional%20Culture%20Heritage%20Artüjüy5th%20Batchüz.pdf =====
1. Why is that a bad thing? I believe Japan does the same thing as well. Heck, they even have the baseball Koshien for high school players. 2. There's no point in selling those items here because they will have very few customers who would buy it. Though anime is heavily embraced here by the Filipino youth, the fact remains that a great majority of them aren't that rich. Heck, they can't even afford to buy ONE volume of a regular-priced English-translated manga. (And to put it into perspective, the price of one volume is already equivalent to less than two days' worth of the minimum wage in the country. Surely that amount of money could be spent on more urgent. If your English manga is that expensive here, how much more for anime DVD or Blu-Ray sets. Oh, and the DVD business is in a bit of a decline due to piracy, so they are unlikely to take such a huge risk like buying those DVD sets. 3. Admittedly, the networks are at fault here because they've really mishandled the anime that they have with them. Why they're not showing that much anime these days is something I can't address, though. But I guess it may have something to do with utilizing more Filipino talents than simply relying on foreign brands. |

What "otaku culture?" Otaku=/=anime/manga consumer nerd. Otaku can mean being obsessed with anything, such as games. Funnily enough, the Nintendo DS was not well received in the Philippines because the cartridges are near impossible to copy and last time I checked, gaming systems are part of otaku culture. |

The Greater East Asia Economic Co-Prosperity Sphere is strong in this one. Actually post-war there was a big push for pen-pal exchanges. Kinda pointless today with electronic mail, but that did a lot to soften relations back in the day. It does not matter. Mushishi alone was sufficient to cement my belief in the superior Japanese culture. May Japan continue to bless Asia with its leadership (Flying Geese Paradigm... and China's ridiculously quick acceleration which makes it a threatpoint.). |

I can attest to this. Even the manga stores import from Singapore are expensive.
