Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In a recent interview with Polygon Comics - Vox Media's comics news site - Joaquim Dos Santos, the co-director of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse, spoke in depth about how anime - including Dragon Ball - not only influenced his storytelling style, and visual focus, but also weighed in on how he conceptualized his work - especially regarding Across the Spider-Verse.
Moreover, as the interview makes clear, the effects of anime's popularity were not just isolated to Dos Santos - one of the most influential animators of his generation with credits including The Legend of Korra and Voltron: Legendary Defender, but, as Dos Santos mentions, anime has had such a significant impact on his and subsequent generations of Western animation creators that it has become part of their creative DNA.
There Was No Anime Revolution in the West - It Was An Anime Infiltration Joaquim Dos Santos Reveals Anime's Subtle but Undeniable Influence on Western Animation Close While many tributes to Akira Toriyama, especially from Japanese anime and manga creators, spoke of Dragon Ball's direct effect on them, Dos Santos argues that anime's influence on himself and contemporary Western animation was much more subtle - almost invisible.
Under Dos Santos' analysis, the tacit nature of anime influences on his generation of creators is largely due to how they accessed anime as children and teenagers in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, there were few if any dedicated anime streaming sites like Crunchyroll or HIDIVE. Instead, anime programs were sprinkled among the slate of domestic cartoon shows.
