    We need an anime crash. Too many light novel isekai adaptions, not enough good stories. Change my mind.

      The year is 2009 and you’re literally saying this about the latest moeblob/Kyoani copycat anime of the season.

      Changing mainstream tastes got nothing to do with improving anything about the industry, the trend chasers will just pick something else.

          Original Gundam had a scene where a woman falls in love with a guy who slaps her for being hysterical.

          The latest Gundam has a main character declare in the first episode that everyone is bi and that being straight is some backwater hick shit.

          For every JJK and OPM there are like 10 different isekai type animes. You just don’t get them all dubbed.

          I’m sick of scantily clad prepubescent girls in anime that are “actually adults.”

          We peaked at DBZ

        Personally i think this has been an issue for a long time and it has always existed. It just hit such an over saturation point for so long id rather just have the whole thing burn than let it keep going

      The whole industry currently relies on an army of artists who work for next to nothing until they burn out. IDK if a crash would help but it certainly can’t make it any worse.

      We had an anime crash. In the 90’s. During the Lost Decade.

      The entire reason we’re flooded with low quality otaku facing garbage is because it’s the only stuff that remains profitable during an economic crisis, because the only people spending money on non-essentials like dvds and merchandise are people whose entire identity is centered around that specific type of product consumption, and if the industry doesn’t cater to them you go out of business because no one else is buying.

    “Even though it’s gotten to this point, you [government] plan to do nothing? If things continue like this, sooner or later, Japan will sink. Japan’s talented animators and companies will be taken over by foreign companies. They’ll be dominated – exploited. That would be the case.”

    Said by an episode director, gotta shoehorn some xenophobic projection in there. Ew.

    A large amount of animation was offshored from Japan for cost and worker regulation reasoms. Now that the yen is weaker it’s less profitable to do this.

    Remember in the 90s when the consumer electronics boom went bust, and no one could afford to make insane shit like Akira, that was animated on ones? And we got the original Pokémon anime, that was practically a slide show?

    I wanna go back to 2fps slide show anime. That shit was so fun! Maybe the constraints will breed creativity, instead of the 80000th isekai

    I want less anime this is good. More interesting science fiction less isekai and boring plots where the worlds interest is solely around uno or bread

    Summer 1993 was the last anime season with no new shows coming out, because of the bubble crash. It also happens to be a year full of really good shows imo.
