Japan's planning to take over the world with anime, the US is planning to take over the world through Baywatch and Supermarket Sweep. XD; It's a question of how far cultural penetration actually translates to political gain. In Japan's case there's also a slight complication owing to the fact that most anime is targeted toward a domestic audience of women, children, and nerds -- the politicians don't watch it and don't know much about it.
Oh, we're definitely going to take over the world via Survivor first.
I wonder whether there would be any political gains experienced with, say, the US that Japan doesn't already enjoy by reason of being a major trading and business partner? Most of the young anime-obsessed types I've met in the States don't seem like the Future Business Leaders of America
