Like someone already said, it has less restrictions. They just have to record it and watch it later. I doubt TV ratings matter that much compared to blu-ray sales.

Just in case you really don't know, anime is only for the biggest losers in Japan and this doesn't change, the concept of "normalfags" and "high level anime watchers" is a west thing, in Japan you are just a loser anime watcher no matter the anime you watch.

From young to old, japanese people get into contact with anime in some form on daily basis. There are entire generations raised on watching anime and reading manga.
Why would there be countless ads with characters from famous shows advertising a product? To catter to broke loser neets?

I live in Japan. Half Japanese. My dad comes home at around 22:00. He leaves for work around 8:00 in the morning. It's BECAUSE of that work shift. That or just practical reasons like the time slots being cheaper.

You are as much as a loser as someone who plays video games or watches movies. Which, unless you somehow still live in the early 2000s, is not even true anymore. My dad is in his 50s and he watches shit like Frieren.

No. You can see such ads even in other areas far from Akihabara. There's literally a huge poster at a high traffic train station I take often for work with an anime girl on it. There's also vending machines that have anime girls on it. Certainly nowhere close to Akihabara but it's there more subtly. There was even a huge billboard for a net cafe with a maid with huge honkers I remember when going to elementary and junior highschool.

By the west you mean America mostly. Daily reminder that Kimetsu no Yaiba movie got a R18+ rating despite only being PG13 in Japan with as young as 9 watching it with their parents. It's no surprise such a retarded distinction even exists considering they still treat all forms of 2d art as for kids.

it's precisely because of drones coming home on evening's last train is midnight anime a thing. you watch that slop after getting home, while inhaling your conbini bento dinner, maybe get an hour of the latest gacha or JRPG release and then go to bed for your 4h of allocated sleep before you have to get up at 6am to catch the first morning train.

It's really inbetween both. Its large enough that most have seen at least one of the cultral insitutions (Sazae san, Doaremon,etc) and maybe one of big Fotm series but no one out on in the street would be able to namedrop the more otaku centered titles (LN adaptations, most originals).

There was actually an interesting thread on here not too long ago about the 'death' of Akihabara.
Part of the reason is that it's spread out a lot more now, and there are other areas that cater to some of the older tastes.
A lot of the real estate got bought up and converted in to much more 'normal' businesses. It didn't die economically, it died more in the old school hardcore otaku mecca sense.
Someone posted a good video about it in the thread. Maybe someone knows what I'm talking about and remembers what it was.

I think he's abnormal even among Japan. He was 2nd only to the boss in a mid-sized company so it's not like he was a lowly salaryman. Though still a salaryman. Has his own company now but still more or less keeps to that schedule. I think he's just a workaholic.
