Tom and Jerry is the most popular over there, with Powerpuff girls second and Transformers third.

Also notice TMNT in #8, I'm not sure if that's the franchise in general or referring to the original cartoon or Nick cartoon. Probably the Fred Wolf show since it was big over there.

Sadly no Batman....why.

Why is Star Wars classified as a cartoon?

Everyone knows Star Wars as a live-action series far more than they do as a Clone Wars cartoon.

Because its western.

"Ultimate Spider-man" is all the way up to #13?

Wonder why they referred to Powerpuff Girls. I'm fairly certain it would be "Powerpuff Girls Z".

Prolly is the overall property, but it could very well be the 4kids series. It was very popular over there, or well, I should say, those who liked it, liked it a LOT. It has the most fan-art of any iteration on Pixiv.

Those are two different series.

I know that, but Z was often preferred in Japan to the original, which is why is surprised me that it's "PPG" & not "PPG Z"

It was an anime produced there, not a western cartoon.

Not surprised Tom & Jerry is there, but am surprised that South Park and Happy Tree Friends are.The Star Wars cartoon is shown on Cartoon Network here.They air the original Power Puff Girls here too on Cartoon Network. They even have CN commercials featuring them to promo the station. Never seen PPGZ promos.

Edit: What's RBWY?

Why doesn't Japan like Batman?

Japan hates bats

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised not to see Scooby Doo on that list.

I agree, I am honestly shocked not to see scooby-doo.

Maybe the original cartoon is too old and never made it over there??? idk weird though.

Maybe they prefer Marvel. I've come across the Marvel cartoons here. Only DC cartoon I've seen here is Teen Titans.

Also, what is RWBY?

I wish this list left out movies and just focused on cartoons because it would be a more accurate summary of what they watch over there. Too many Disney movies on the list and not enough cartoons.

Disney in general is highly popular here. That aside, they do show the Aladdin cartoon series here.

And what is RWBY?

I have no idea.

"CGI" animeisque show made in US, from what I understood.

I know a lot of "friends of friends" that like RWBY, but I never did figure out what it was. :V

It's the old-school Pokemon games.

You know, Red, Wumbo, Blue, Yellow.

Which version of the TMNT though?

:lol:
For whatever reason this made me laugh.
And I don't know. You should take a trip to Japan and ask everyone why they don't like Batman.
