Wild guess: a bunch of us grew up with animes on screen from age 6 all the way up to adulthood.

In Italy, grandpas and grandmas know soccer AND dragonball. Which is kinda hilarious in a certain way.

I would quote videogames too, but animes probably had a bigger reach, think of the animes with mechas from the 70s and 80s
