>“Japanese anime comes from comics. There is great care put into the characters. Disney, on the other hand, has predetermined storylines, and there is always a happy ending. In Japanese anime, you may see a protagonist die halfway through, or a villain turn out to be a hero – it’s made to be satisfying even for adults.” Although anime is a large-scale commercial export, its roots lie in the niche realm of manga, which has been relatively free of restrictions. Shimizu suggests that this is what compelled “US audiences, who grew tired of Disney” to turn to anime.
>“However, Japanese anime is made in a way that even adults can understand, such as the main character dying midway through, or a character thought to be a bad guy turning out to be a hero. Japanese anime started out as a niche industry, so it’s free to do whatever it wants. There is a demographic in America that is tired of Disney, and these people have started to support Japanese anime, saying, ‘Japanese anime is great.’

Yes please keep anime for japan only, people that care will find a way to get it, you should have never made it easy to access to normalfags, i guarantee you, anime will make more money appealing to otaku, you don’t wanna be a westernized flop like the kaiju 8 anime

american animation is dead and uncreative at this point and overrun by the left.

>Keep anime for the Japanese
I agree, don’t corrupt our pure white western youth with their sexual degeneracy bugmen values of pedophilia and incest, this is why Texas is banning anime soon by the way.

Shinkai said this years ago now:
>I made Your Name, Weathering With You and Suzume with almost no awareness of globalization. I didn't think about it at all. I'm creating it with the idea: "Let's make anime for Japanese people to watch," and I'm conscious of making it thoroughly local.
>As far as global stuff is concerned, Hollywood and South Korea are already doing it well. There are successful examples of making a work with a production system that incorporates inclusion and diversity with a global perspective from the beginning. That's good for them, but I'm not going in the same direction.
>Instead, I'm thinking of making something completely local. If you keep digging the ground under your feet, you may find a hole to the other side of the planet. That way, people from other places may enjoy it as well.
>Of course we want people outside Japan to watch it so Toho, who distributes it, and our studio (CoMix Wave) who are in charge of overseas markets, are working hard to figure out what to do to bring them to overseas audiences. However, I'm not conscious of overseas markets when it comes to the way the works themselves are created.

We hate Shinkai here, we need someone BASED like the director of One Piece and Dragon Ball to say this

>the director
I'm pretty sure OP and DB had thousands of different directors at this point.

This is the root of why anime is so fun. Manga and especially novels are the pure vision of the author, for better or for worse.

I don’t see the difference between anime and movies and tv from other countries anymore. I’ve been getting into pulp novels from a hundred years ago and it seems the same as anime released today.

Don't need anime to corrupt the Western youth when the president and his cabal is already doing it, kek.

>>281282776
those pulp novels were even direct inspirations in some cases. golgo wouldn't exist without mike hammer.

These are the type of people who would say the same thing to a Japan-born half Japanese btw.

Ironic enough they hire foreigners to animate sakuga scenes in Shounens... They still never made anything better than Breaking Bad. And when you look up their most famous anime, they all have dogshit stories like Kimi no Nawa made by a director who can't think anything original.

thigh some manga is still creative when it's not downstream of LNslop

This happened with Attack on Titan and Oshi no Ko and everyone cried.
Modern anime fans want anime to be like Disney movies.

>>281282776
Same. At the end of the day, what truly matters is creators being able to create fun and appealing shit without having to worry about what modern westfags think about the content.
