Like, they booked movie theaters, football fields, etc. to stream episodes of Dragon Ball Super as they aired to crowds of people.

It literally got to the point where the Japanese government issued a C&D to them to stop the screenings

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/0/3/AAUsi-AADOWT.jpg

The Government of Japan is aware that episode 130 and 131 of the Dragon Ball Super series, whose copyright belongs to Japanese company Toei Animation, will be shown in public places and places without the authors due authorization. In the event the exhibition is illegal, the Government of Japan wishes that it be suspended.

Of course most of them didn't give a fuck and aired it anyway lol

That's easy my grandparents grew up watching DB my dad/mom DBZ/GT when I went as a kid to Mexico they would show DB, DBZ and GT for 3 hours back to back this was mid/late 90s, etc...this also applies for several anime from the 80s

I looked up some possible reasons, and apparently anime was super cheap to syndicate back in the 80s/90s. Since Latin America usually didn't make cartoons domestically, they just aired anime with a cheap dub and that's what kids watched growing up. Usually the anime was uncensored too, unlike the US >_>

Cheap dub isn't the right word considering that the voices are actually good anyone who has seen DBZ in all 3(Japanase, Eng, Spa) languages can easily tell you the Spanish sub is the best

Lots of anime exposure starting in the 80s and also the Mexican spanish dub of all the Dragon Ball series is high quality. The dialogue is way less cringe/goofy and they also avoid slang/colloquialisms that funimation likes to tack on in the english dub.

My hispanic co-worker basically explained that he grew up with all kinds of anime's that were dubbed in Spanish. Dragonball series as a whole was well known to have high quality spanish dubs with many of the voice actors being big fans of the series itself. So yeah there was a lot of animes that were phoned in when it came to the spanish dubs, but Dragonball was not one of those.

The director for the Broly movie paid that love back to the Latin fans with the soundtrack. During portions of that movie, whenever the music would start chanting a characters name, that was supposed to be a homage to those big ass stadiums of people doing the same thing during the normal run of Super.

They got exposure way before the US.

Shit, I used to watch Cell saga episodes on Telemundo when they were non-stop repeating episodes up to Goku's arrival on Namek in the US.

Anime was cheaper to air than popular American cartoons so that's all that would play for hours every day.

dragon Ball and dragon Ball Z are easier to understand than Naruto or even Attack on titan.

Too many characters to remember who's who in Naruto and Attack on Titan.

plus the plot and characters also hard to keep track of for Gundam Wing. Char is the only one i get wher he's the main bad guy leader or whatever
