YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF STUDIO GHIBLI?????? HOW

I started looking into it a little bit now and..

No, not really. Ive heard the name itself a couple of times before on tumblr but having searched their productions, with pictures, if any of them appear faniliar to me its jist because some of them have been used for meme templates.

The thing is, i dont think a lot of japanese media reached my country. First of all, until the dissasociation of the USSR, TV times were very restricted and there was only one channel. There were like 20 minutes of cartoons but not every day. And all of them had to be approved by the Communist Party, of course

Then, during the 90s, there was the grand movement to embrace capitalism. Strangely enough Nixon and our dictator got along pretty well but im not sure how much that ties to anything here. Anyway, there was a lot of influx of hollywood media, but also local. With the massive censorship for the most part gone, a lot of old and new media appeared.

Im rambling but the point is. Growing up i do not recall seeing any sort of japanese animations on TV. My sister reminds some Pokemon episodes but that's about it. Its very likely that there were there, but for a fairly long time, a single tv frequency would be shared by two tv channels, here typically switching at 10pm and i think 6am.

Im getting too long with it. Anyway. Most likely the channels i had access to and regularly watched didnt really have contracts with japanese studios
