It seems like Anpanman is the most popular fictional character for Japanese kids since long time ago. However, I never heard of Anpanman when I was a kid. I don’t associate Japan with Anpanman.

I always associate Japan with Doraemon — another famous fictional character from Japan — perhaps because I saw it on TV. The show was (or still is?) aired every Sunday, 8AM. It was one of my favorite shows as a kid.



My question to you (who are not Japanese nor Indonesian), have you ever heard of Anpanman and Doraemon before?

    1. Wearing Anpanman shirt, he was one of the coolest kids in town :D…

      So, since you didn’t know Anpanman (nor Doraemon, I assume), who do you watch when you were a kid, Christakis?

  1. I heard abt Doraemon but no idea about the Anpanman.. one interesting thing is I’m now watching Studio Ghibli movies as I have a good net connection of my own now.. :)

    1. So, when you visit Tokyo, you might want to visit the Ghibli museum. My friends told me that it was interesting. I never been there myself.
