Star Cineplex, a popular movie theater, will screen new anime films popular in Japan

Japanese anime, which is popular around the world, has been popular in Bangladesh for more than a decade. As people spend more time at home due to the pandemic, Japanese anime has become even more popular, especially among young people, due to the increase in the number of subscribers to "Netflix," a major video distribution service. At "Star Cineplex," a popular movie theater in Dhaka, "Blade of the Demon" Infinity Train, "Jutsu Kaisen 0" and "One Piece Film Red" are aired about a month after their airing in Japan, making it possible to enjoy anime at the same speed as in Japan. In addition, cosplay events are held in shopping centers and event halls mainly in Dhaka, and a culture has developed in recent years in which people not only watch, but also become the characters and create fanzines.

Young people gathering information about anime through major media outlets and Facebook groups

The Daily Star, the number one selling English-language newspaper in Bangladesh, features articles on Japanese anime on a weekly basis. The content of the articles, which include introductions to new anime, discussion of new anime, and even introductions to events, is substantial, indicating the popularity of anime.


Tofazel, a student at a private university in Dhaka, is a big anime fan, and when we asked him about anime, he responded with a variety of anime genres, including "Oni no Kiri no Kabe, Spy Family, Blue Rock, and Shinkage no Kyojin. She also often watches anime on "Netflix" and utilizes a Facebook group of anime fans to gather information about new anime. Although the culture of reading comics is not yet widespread, they would like to try comics as well, and anime culture is expanding in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
