Anime in Saleria

Since the late 1970s and the early 80s, anime is considered to be popular in Saleria due to its wide prevalence on television. Television channels such as Boing, Rete 5, SPBC K, Storm-Fi, and Neon TV (N3ON.tv) usually air anime shows. In addition to that, some cinemas in the country show anime movies in either subbed or dubbed (where available).

Because English is one of the official languages in Saleria (besides Italian), it is not uncommon to see an anime that's dubbed or subtitled in English on free-to-air and pay television channels. The same thing also applies to anime movies as well.

History
In mid-1978, Heidi, Girl of The Alps became the first anime TV show to air in Saleria on SPBC 1 (now TeleUno). Although it was based on the Italian dub of the series, it was subtitled in English and it eventually had a Salerian English voiceover dub based on the original Japanese script when it was repeated on SPBC 2 in 1980 and 1993 and on SPBC K in 2000. Other anime shows that were aired on SPBC 1 and on SPBC 2 during the late-70s to the early 80s include 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother, Anne of Green Gables, Future Boy Conan, Lupin The Third Part 1, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, and Voltes V.

The 1979 anime series Doraemon, which was aired on SPBC 2 from 1983 until 1998, would become one of the shows that popularized the anime culture in Saleria in the 1980s and 1990s. The first anime movie that was shown in cinemas across Saleria was Studio Ghibli's Castle In The Sky in 1987. In the same year, the implementation of the Zweikanalton analog dual-language audio system on television allowed anime shows to be heard in two languages, either in Italian or in its original audio (either if it's Japanese or if it's an English dub).

The launch of MTV Saleria in 1992 and Storm-Fi in 1995, served the path of airing some of the popular and influential anime series, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball Z, FLCL, Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha, Samurai Champloo, and Slam Dunk.

Today, the anime culture in Saleria has been widely popular among children, teenagers and young adults. Newer and older anime shows are usually enjoyed among children, teenagers and young adults. Anime movies are sometimes shown in cinemas across Saleria.
