As internet connectivity becomes more widespread across India, a larger portion of the population gains access to online streaming platforms, where anime content is readily available. This increased accessibility to high-speed internet facilitates seamless streaming of anime series and movies, catering to the preferences of viewers who prefer to consume content on digital platforms. Moreover, the growing demand for anime-based content on digital platforms reflects the changing preferences and interests of Indian audiences. With the rise of social media and digital communities, there has been a surge in the popularity of anime content among Indian youth, who are drawn to the diverse storytelling, vibrant animation, and unique cultural elements found in anime.
