The community has always been very vocal about it. It all began with the petition to bring Animax back started, even though the petition was not successful, it gave rise to the concept of demanding their favourite anime in India via social media. Since then the otakus were able to successfully release 2 anime movies Dragon Ball Super and Tenki no Ko (Weathring With You) in India. The petitions were created and a huge number of anime followers signed it and supported the cause. The impact was such that PVR India stepped in and officially released the anime movies in India.
