| Ruler said: Latin America is not Western. From the list only Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal have lower GDP per capita than Japan, and no neither i consider Eastern Europe to be Western. You do realize that shojou or josei didnt exist when these animes i posted were aired at the time? |
Latin America is western by many definitions, and I have no idea how you are going to exclude EU member nations. I get the feeling you're just going to pare it down so that the list fits your argument, which makes this a waste of time. Also, as has already been pointed out, Japan has the third highest nominal GNP in the world, meaning it has the third largest economy, and it registers fourth in PPP. If you're talking about the average citizen, Japan ranks 15th in median household income. Trying to make Japan seem poor compared to the west makes no sense at all.
You do realize that fansubbing has very little to do with the old children's anime you linked?
