Top Ten Anime Series that Were Broadcast on RTL II
From the 90s to the mid-to-late 2000s, there was a huge hype in German speaking countries for anime series. Most people of my generation grew up with anime and it became a part of our lives. We did not only watch anime series, we had lots of merchanidising, anime themed fan magazines and maybe even cheap costumes. That may also be part of the reason why anime fans and cosplayers (and nerds in general) are not such misfits over here, because we all watched anime as a child and we still love them.Now, most of the series were broadcast on the channel RTL II. Next to Super RTL, it was one of the two channels every kid born in the 90s to early 2000s watched. Some of the series were German translations of the original Japanese versions (e.g. "Digimon Adventure"), others were translated from US dubs (e.g. "Pokémon"). US dubs often edited scenes and made a lot of the content more kid friendly, as Japan has other ideas of what's suitable for kids.
Nowadays, after the hype decreased, RTL II mainly broadcasts "Trash TV" like daily soap operas, reality TV and similar.
