So I'm still worried about more bullshit infiltration, there's just a ton of barriers to doing it its hard for me to see it happening without massive financial losses. I know its a sensitive topic because people are tired of their hobbies becoming sanitized for public consumption, so its hard to balance reality vs. expectation.
does anime itself even make that much money? dunno if I said here before, but there's always the danger that companies get tempted by the possible global market (which on paper would dwarf japan) and align themselves more to get a piece of that dosh by changing anime to make it more globally attractive.
the only saving grace would be that if that happens, it's gonna be a slow process, at which point the west has hopefully already ousted a lot of the liberal wokeshit one way or another, so pandering to that crowd would make even less sense.
otoh there's the creator angle, a lot of anime are based on manga/novels, which means there has to be certain level of local popularity for the material itself, and I can't really see japan mangling some creators work just to please twittertards on the us westcoast.
also don't underestimate how ingrained anime is now, it's not the 80s/90s where oldfags like us had to import VHS tapes for ridiculous prices to get some drawn goodness. sailor moon was ridiculous popular in my country, and those people are all adults now with a lot of them having kids on their own and manga sales shitting on comics pretty much every where (europe less than usa, but europe had a re-alignment in the 90s already).
Fakku has released its own pornhub stats. Illuminating, apparently there is one thing most of the world can agree on.
only retards use fakku so the stats are meaningless? and who the fuck doesn't use a vpn these days?
Then again, it's apparently the latest passion project under Cygames (the company responsible for many mobages on the market today, including Idolmaster and Granblue Fantasy), who will likely invest "fuck you" money into the anime regardless of whether or not it ends up a turkey.
were there turkeys tho? uma musume pretty derby was mainly an ad for a mobage (probably canceled at this point) but still had enough going for it on it's own even with that in mind. rumor is some right holders for the names were too stupid/greedy. zombieland saga was popular because it was good, even when it was just another ad to increase anime tourism for the boss' home prefecture. even when the intent was silly or outright money driven, cygames at least gave enough of a fuck to produce something good (compared to other studios which half-ass stuff to the point it kills any possible profit the brand could have, see ongaku shoujo), so kudos for that.
I'd be more worried how they seem to fuck up any non-mobage videogame project. where the fuck is granblue re:link? ffs just give me a proper granblue rpg while squeenix sits in the corner smearing shit all over itself, or just something coop besides a mobile game.
