Anime is a globally revered medium, its huge in Europe with countries like France even co-producing some anime, it’s obviously massive in North America and Australia as they have vibrant industries and communities and ofcourse its big in Asia. We very rarely, if at all read about the anime industry or culture in Africa. I will attempt to rectify this by highlighting what the anime fandom is like in Zambia in 2018.
I had the pleasure of interviewing about a dozen Zambian anime fans in order to have a clear picture of where the fandom currently is and where its possibly headed. In order to understand what anime culture is now it’s important to find out how it all started.
