Abstract: The idea of transnationality is still making waves in anime studies, as fans and scholars track the new Japanese-influenced animation coming from all over the world and ask how definitions of anime beyond Japan can best accommodate and describe this work. The new(ly emerging) issue of transgenerationality will impact anime even further. Japan’s and North America’s creative and fan populations ar ageing out, while in the Middle East, Indonesia, India and Africa huge young populations are consuming and re-creating anime in their own image. This short paper is by no means definitive but highlights a few trends and areas for consideration.
