What does "Hollywood" mean in this context? Cause there are so many western movies and TV shows about sports and cooking. Of course you won't see Hollywood make the exact Prince of Tennis because, uh, it has been made.


There are shows about cooking, but not many fun ones.

The Bear is definitely a good show and kinda about cooking, but it's definitely not a relaxing watch even though it's been winning comedy Emmys :D

As for sports Friday Night Lights is the only one that comes to mind, I watched it because it was good, not because it was about American Football (a sport I couldn't care less).

But the basic premise was that manga and anime allow the authors to go _completely_ bonkers with their ideas with no limitations on what's marketable.

Like One Punch Man shouldn't work, but it does. Or Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon is one. Or Delicious in Dungeon another one.

They're all way too wacky to ever pass the gauntlet of middle management deciding what goes on air in the US.
