Anime has TV Asahi to thank for creating some of its most loved characters – Doraemon, Kamen Rider, Crayon Shin-chan. When this famed network started producing anime series in the 1970s, it helped to popularize the genre around the world – and a little self-thanks is warranted at its headquarters, which acts like a shrine to its best exports. Parents relive memories at the changing exhibits while their kids pose next to giant statues with a newfound love for anime.
