I’ve seen it said from many communist otaku communities, that several anime series promote fascist ideology and fascist aesthetics in their content. I cannot confirm it myself, since I do not belong to this community, nor do I consume anime
However, that there’s a big overlap between Western anime community and fascism is fairly obvious, I’d say it’s probably related to 4chan, that would be my guess
4chan and the other chans initially, reddit now as well.
It’s like Gamer culture, originally white male centric online that’s seen a large influx of non white cis het male people entering the community and the chuds in the community fly right as they cry about how they no longer hold a monopoly on a hobby/interest.

Here’s an example of one lol.
There’s also that weird Hetalia show which portrayed the axis powers as goofy anime characters…
Can’t believe Hetalia Axis Powers was a thing that was made and had a huge fanbase.
a good example of this kind of thing is the really gross anime from the 2012, terraformars
