>rise and rise of anime
Could have fooled me.
Seems like everything turned into dogshit and is either stillborn and dies upon trailer release or is a pump-and-dump two cour show to trick viewers into thinking it'll somehow be any different.
Then again

its funny anime became "mainstream" when it finally died - its era of Chinese donghua and korean webtoons now.

Last season To Be Hero X btfo every anime and this one Lord of Misteries goes so hard, watching japanese shows after it just feels like cringe and embarassment. And the next "japanese" show to be a big hit will be again... Solo Leveling S2 - a korean webtoon adaptation.

To be hero X? BTFO'd by Precure, which is nichiasa. Solo leveling? Shitty merch and BD sale, no toys from bandai, no collab with restaurant or amusement. Why is Kakao so unhappy about solo leveling's secondary sale if It is Japanese anime killer? To be hero X has 0% viewership in Japan spite being aired in Nichiasa, kicking one piece away to night. But still loses to one piece's viewership. And Precure trends in nichiasa while to be hero x doesn't. Precure is queen of nichiasa. Mature than any Korean and Chinese slops, and sells lots of Toys from bandai. Like transformation flash, transformation ribbon, transformation key, Purimero doll.

Millenials loved anime as kids, surprisingly zoomers also love anime. Now it's more available than ever and the bulk of the media consuming population is generations who grew up loving anime and continue to love anime. Meanwhile, comics infrastructure is largely broken and comics are being used as content for films and televisions while western cartoons are being defunded if they aren't a kids film or adult show made for streaming.

Not surprising that anime is at peak domination. It was a long time coming with no real competition save video games and social media but even then it's grounds for cross-pollination

But solo leveling's secondary sale flopped, which made A-1 lost, and Kakao is vocal and unhappy about this shitty secondary sale of solo leveling.
Japanese netouyo named Mccoy(マッコイ)knows that Korean slops and Chinkslops cannot do media mix to generate secondary sale.

Has been over a decade. Zillennials have just grown up watching this, the persecution of the 2000s wasn't enough to alienate this culture, and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger so here we are. The mid 2000s had the worst persecution and it was when the word "weaboo" was created, so many people were actually watching animu but they all pretended they didn't, treated Kawaii otaku characters like anathema and those who enjoy this culture slightly publicly as a complete lifeless out-of-touch hikki weirdo. Fujimoto also dipicted this in his manga and Hamaji also attested this in her livestreaming with Chiune.

Even worse, koreans are spreading their censorship standard to Japanese anime recently by CJ and Kakao lobbying TV stations in Japan which are shilling everything Korean like Fuji and TBS, as the way of "cultural trade" and "Korea Japan relationship". Rezero s3, nigoriri, vigilante,9nines, saikin no tantei are victims of this Korean censorship since these are not aired in China thru bilibili but got fanservice scenes in source material censored..

Which appeal does Korean webtoon have when they are censored garbages by passive? Korea bans bikinis. No Korean games and webtoons have bikini. Blue archive has no bikini since 2023. No Chinese donghua have bikini too. Tell me 3 Chinese donghua and 3 Korean webtoons with bikinis. Korean censorship hinders them from being Japan killer. At least America doesn't ban bikinis, unlike Korea. You chosenjings ban bikinis, right, korea got gravure magazine burned by president moon. While Japanese convinience store sells gravure mag.

There is state of employment market in Korea and Japan in this namuwiki site. Use translator to translate in English. And reminder that Korea's birthrate is whooping 0.7x due to feminists, saar.
While Japan's unemployment rate decrease and Graduates got job easily.
Bottom is the news about unemployment rate in Korea.
Why do u think Korea's 0.7x birthrate as serious problem? China has 0.9x birthrate.

If solo leveling is so popular, why is Kakao so unhappy about its secondary sale like merch, BD, toys and collab? Solo leveling's merch and BD sale was so shit, and no toy for solo leveling from bandai, no collab. If solo leveling was so popular, bandai would have made DX sung jin woo blade, Sung jin woo transformation belt, and Sung jin Woo plamodel. And USJ would have collaborated with Solo leveling soon.

But why did Kakao and A-1 sold lost spite being "popular"?

It is temporary and unsustainable money. Companies are paying several times more than they are earning to stream these anime. It might last another 5-10 years at best, but as more and more anime get shit out in an attempt to claim the free money that you can get just by existing the faster you will see a total reversal where BD and merch sales are all that matters again.

Chink broadcast money? Only 20% of animes per season are aired in China via bilibili. Bilibili is only platform for anime in China. Spite this, ones not aired in China is censored, and Korea would have spread their censorship standard to Japanese anime by CJ and Kakao lobbying Japanese TV stations which are pro Korea. Solo leveling shills like you are responsible for censorship in anime. Vigilante, rezero s3, 9nines, saikin tantei, nigoriri are victim of Korean censorship spread to Japanese anime by CJ and Kakao's lobby. Since these are not aired in China.

I think what I'm saying is pretty realistic, considering it isn't just anime that is running into this problem right now. In 2014 there wasn't that many people online and every year more and more people would get online increasing numbers across the board, that isn't really happening any more and so now there isn't any easy method to trick investors into believing a ton of money will magically appear, because a cap on potential audience is going to be set at one point or another.
