There's plenty of people here in the US who don't know about those either. While Anime is much more widely popular now in the US than it was even 10 years ago it's still a niche for sure and within that I still have to tell people what FLCL is, not so much the others though.
My point being is it is still a subculture idolizing another subculture. I don't think you can say that is a US wide issue.
- presentation 6y agoIf you came to Japan you'd also need to tell people here what FLCL is - really, the only ones your typical mainstream Japanese person would know if prompted are the most famous, classic ones they might have seen as children like Doraemon, One Piece, Conan, Anpanman. It really is a niche.
