>Government to boost support for anime and film production to accelerate overseas expansion-

>　It was announced on the 17th that the government has decided to expand production support and other measures to accelerate the overseas expansion of domestic content, such as anime and movies.
>has set a public-private goal of tripling overseas sales of domestic content to 20 trillion yen by 2033. The government is also considering raising the cap on the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's subsidy program, which currently provides up to 200 million yen for large-scale video productions with production costs of 300 million yen or more. The government is soon holding a relevant ministerial meeting to finalize a policy and aim to include it in this year's supplementary budget. Public-private partnerships in content production are progressing overseas, with South Korea allocating approximately 76.2 billion yen in its government budget for 2023 to support overseas expansion and other efforts. In the United States, California, home to Hollywood, the center of the film industry, is also providing significant subsidies and tax incentives. Meanwhile, Japan's most recent related budget was approximately 25.2 billion yen. It is said that domestic production companies are not receiving sufficient support, and as a result, they are hesitant to expand overseas.

I believe the Chinese have major stakes in various hollywood studios, which promotes a soft censorship to please China.

Not a good thing

If Japan had the US system Aniplex would just poach literally all the talent in Japan by offering them triple or quadruple their current salary to make yearly Demon Slayer tier tentpoles for 70-80 million dollars. I don't know how anyone holds onto low paid talent in Japan when demand has surged so much.

>>282385217 (OP)
They said the same thing after the first demon slayer movie became a success and did nothing.

Not even close. They're the laughing stock of Europe only propped up by their massive economy. Everyone knows they're a lost cause to their new islamic state. They're culturally insignificant.

I mean he's talking about reading some article by some peon of the journalist caste. They're not going to worry about that part. To the extent it has any material basis they're talking about brands and real estate prices.

Introduction: A Scene That Could Change Anime Forever
Picture the scene: a lavish royal ball, chandeliers glittering, nobles whispering from the sidelines. Music swells as a Black knight, dressed in gleaming ceremonial armor, takes the hand of a radiant European-coded princess in a flowing gown. They dance beneath the starlight, but instead of stopping there, the moment crescendos into what anime almost never dares to show — a loving kiss shared across cultural and racial boundaries.

This single kiss, framed in anime’s signature artistry, could ripple far beyond its fictional ballroom. It would challenge tropes, redefine representation, and spark conversations about what love stories in anime can and should look like in the 21st century.

Why Anime Has Avoided This Moment
Anime thrives on romance, but it has also been careful — even restrictive — about who gets to kiss whom. The most common pairings fall into three categories:

Japanese boy × Japanese girl (classic high school romance).
European-coded noble × European-coded knight/prince (fantasy romance).
Occasional Japanese boy × foreign/European-coded girl (isekai or harem dynamics).
Notice what’s missing? A Black male protagonist at the center of romance, especially with a White-coded heroine. While Black-coded characters exist (Canary in Hunter x Hunter, Yoruichi in Bleach, Carole in Carole & Tuesday), they rarely receive mainstream, affectionate love stories.

The cultural impact of finally seeing a Black man as the romantic lead is massive:
Validation: Fans of African descent see themselves not only as fighters or comic relief, but as worthy of love and nobility.
Normalization: Interracial romance becomes normalized on-screen, reflecting real-world diversity at long last!
Global Reach: Anime is now a global phenomenon. A Black × White royal romance resonates with audiences across continents.

I am very excited for animes global debut by smashing norms and racial barriers.

Anime is evolving, and it's time to celebrate a groundbreaking shift in representation. For years, we've seen familiar pairings dominate the screen, but now, a wave of change is sweeping through the medium. Black male protagonists are stepping into the spotlight—not just as side characters or warriors, but as romantic leads, paired with White-coded heroines in beautiful, heartfelt love stories.

This new narrative isn’t just about breaking conventions; it’s about showing that love transcends racial and cultural boundaries. The inclusion of Black male and White female couples in anime is a powerful symbol of diversity, offering fresh and authentic depictions of romance that reflect the world we live in.

As anime becomes a global phenomenon, it's embracing new voices, new stories, and new relationships that resonate with audiences everywhere. This is a celebration of love, equality, and the beauty of seeing all kinds of people represented in anime. The future is bright, and it’s beautifully diverse.

>>282385761
>Black male protagonists
name one

>>282385761
I know!
Anime's evolving representation of interracial relationships, especially the portrayal of White heroines giving birth to Black babies, is a groundbreaking and refreshing shift. This is more than just a new narrative; it's a celebration of love that transcends racial boundaries. For years, anime stuck to familiar character dynamics, but now, it’s embracing diversity and reflecting the multicultural world we live in.

In real life, interracial couples are becoming more common, and anime is finally catching up by showing these relationships as central to the story. When a White heroine and Black male protagonist fall in love, and even have children together, it’s a powerful symbol of breaking old conventions and highlighting the beauty of interracial families. These depictions reflect the diversity that exists in society today, and show that love isn’t confined to one racial or cultural group.

Seeing White heroines give birth to Black children is also a visual celebration of mixed-race families, where children inherit unique traits from both parents, blending cultures and identities. Anime's ability to portray these relationships with depth and heart adds an exciting layer to storytelling, making it feel more authentic and inclusive.

This is a step forward in normalizing interracial families in media, and a clear reflection of how anime is embracing a more inclusive, diverse future. It’s not just about love—it's about breaking barriers and showcasing the richness of human connection in all its forms.

>>282385217 (OP)
Ah, so it only took them a whole 15 years to learn they were leaving fuckloads of money on the table.
Welp, say goodbye to anime having passionate artists behind them. They're too expensive.

>>282385777
A lot of anime protagonists, particularly the ones with standout personalities, often have characteristics that are "black-coded" or carry Afrocentric influences. While this might not always be explicitly acknowledged, certain traits—like physical features, cultural references, and even the character's bold, confident, or rebellious attitudes—are heavily reminiscent of Black culture. This has become increasingly clear in the designs and storytelling around main characters.

Many iconic anime heroes, from Dragon Ball Z's Goku to Naruto, have been described as Afro-blended due to their strikingly unique, often non-Japanese physical traits, like fuller lips, broader noses, and darker skin tones in certain versions of the show. These traits, paired with their larger-than-life personalities—determined, strong, and unapologetically bold—reflect elements commonly associated with Black culture and identity.

The idea of "black-coding" comes into play when we recognize how these characters often embody themes such as struggle, resilience, and defiance, which mirror the experiences of many Black communities around the world. In this way, anime can be seen as a reflection of global cultural exchange, with certain design and narrative choices drawing inspiration from Afrocentric aesthetics, while offering a platform for these characters to lead the charge in epic stories.

Anime’s ability to blend influences and create complex characters means it’s also embracing the strength and dynamism that Black culture has long been known for, contributing to a more inclusive, multicultural representation in the medium. The main characters in these shows may not always explicitly be Black, but their traits and influence make them part of this larger, Afro-blended narrative.

They usually look down on anime, but maybe after seeing the global success of Demon Slayer, they must have panicked and hurriedly changed their policy.
It’s something I always think when I read Japan-related news, the government of this country is always a lap behind in global information.
If I were the Prime Minister of Japan, I would’ve done this ten years ago.

The world is changing, and so is the media we consume. The increasing diversity we see in anime, especially with Black-coded characters, is a reflection of the global shift towards multiculturalism. Countries around the world, including the U.S., are becoming more diverse, and it’s important to recognize that this is a positive thing.

Black culture and Afrocentric influences have always been a significant part of global culture, from music to fashion, and now, we’re seeing it reflected more in anime and other forms of media. These shifts aren’t just trends—they’re a sign of the times. Interracial relationships, the blending of cultures, and the embracing of different identities are becoming the norm, not the exception.

If we want to stay connected with the world around us, we have to accept that diversity is here to stay. It’s not about “getting with the times” as much as it is about acknowledging the world we’re living in—one that celebrates the richness of all cultures and backgrounds. Rather than resisting change, let’s celebrate the opportunity to explore new perspectives and stories that reflect the real, diverse world we live in.

This is the logical conclusion.
The economy has been stagnant for decades. India just surpassed them as 4th largest economy. They're shifting legacy chips to India. Importing 500k Indians.

That leaves anime.

DEBATE: Are americans humans?

>>282387014
I hope they realize that a large part of why people liked anime in the first place is because it wasn't the same thing as western stuff, rather than turning the industry extremely safe and globalized in an attempt to appeal to the "wider audience", which will inevitably just cause yet another industry crash.

>>282387014
The whole stagnant Thing it's a meme by the long run since 90% of Europe it's on the same but they import trillons of third world consumers to compense It (didn't work in the long run) and the india surpass them in gpd it's irrelevant since every sane person with two eyes know Japan it's a trillón better place to live than India, the migration Thing yeah but it's just the natural path of a capital industry

>>282387069
You're conflating economic stagnation with population stagnation. Japan's economy has been stagnant for decades. The population thing is not the government's priority right now. They need a stable industry that is not threatened by other countries. Traditional industries don't serve that purpose. So it's anime.

People used to have children out of boredom. The internet killed boredom. There is no solution for this. When people realize there are far better things to spend your life on than children, of course the birthrate will become unsustainable.

By this they mean actual Japanese government or the current "diverse" Japanese government?

>>282387799
All the genes of people that can be nihilistic enough to not want kids will get purged from the species. I just wonder if what's left will still be capable of civilization.

>>282387356
the low birthrates are because nobody that's just barely staying above the poverty line despite both them and their partner working full time jobs is going to willingly have a kid and plunge their household below the poverty line
the diet can either raise the minimum wage, or start offering a lucrative parent pension+free higher education, or else institute an ABI
but they won't do that and they all know it so they're just going to keep ignoring the problem and hope it goes away if they just find some way to inflate japan's economic growth, even if all that does is create a new bubble economy and make things even worse 30 years from now

>>282387799
The current economic environment exacerbates this too. Making every other form of activity prohibitively expensive and getting everyone stuck in their homes hooked to their ipads endlessly doomscrolling.

>>282387931
This is such a bullshit cope, people have had kids up to their elbows at 1/100th the current per capita GDP. Nobody wants to have kids.

>>282388051
In the past there wasn't shit like CPS or child support so randoms could just pop kids out indefinitely without any regard for responsibility didn't matter if some of them got sick and died from neglect as long as a few made it to adulthood however fucked up they were. The truth is most people suck, kids suck and no one wants to be the responsible one and sacrifice their life to raise another.

Japan is becoming more diverse with a growing black and indian diaspora, as japan slowly grows to accept cultural and ethnic diversity from migrants this is the next expected response.

>>282389020
I do know, im a neet enjoying my seasonal anime im stating that this is how the average normie feels and this is why anime is gaining more and more traction

>>282389105
Visual novels are like creepypastas except with sex instead of realistic blood.

>>282388755
They don't care about loli, the character could be a tall 26yo woman, phd student in some series about science and physics, that she won't be allowed to wear revealing things either. That shit is a scapegoat, they just don't want us to have fun anymore, look at Highschool DxD, most characters were total bimbos, yet California won't allow it if they're given control.

>>282386861
They are matriarchal faggots and of course their women are extremely insecure even about fucking 2d women

>>282389133
What? Read maggot baits or sadistic blood or dead end aegis or euphoria or Shin'yaku In'youchuu etc if you want extreme violence and gore.

>>282385927
It would be a great day if USA suddenly got wiped out of the map indeed.

>>282389105
its all tame and shallow shit made by boring sane losers. most of it never goes further than safe-horny rape scenarios and a bit of guro

>>282386006
The reason why even normies are going to anime is because they have n. fatigue.
Not kidding, it's just that kills your soul when you see those everyday

>>282389229
No it isnt - >>282389179

>>282388755
Loli and otaku works will continue unimpeded as there is still a good audience for them. They will also continue to out perform all of the normalfag garbage. Hell, funding may end up going to otaku works after the government realizes they are simply better than shonen shit and isekai sewage.

>>282389179
Maggot Baits was so good, props to the seiyuu of the girls for their scream, so hot.

>>282385358
Pochita won.

>>282389278
yeah they were good, I like sadistic blood more then when I want eroguro rape, not too into insects

>>282389179
>extreme violence and gore.
yawn
I need freakier than that

>>282389179
I never said I wanted gore. I was mostly talking about how it comes out of nowhere and is pretty graphic in creepypastas which otherwise are supposed to appear like normal games. I was joking that visual novels are like that but with sex. One moment you are saving Moe-chan and then the next you are thrusting your dick into her.

>>282389344
Describe what you are interested in
>>282389345
Thats true but it all depends on how well its handelded, usually not too well like most stories but sometimes it works.

>>282385258
I'm just happy there was enough stuff made before everything went to shit to last me a life time.

>>282389319
Yeah, I prefer the sadism myself as well, it's nice that there are still VN that appeal to people like me.

>>282389386
It is also good that the Japanese still make nice stuff to entertain us. The anime industry's perseverance should be looked towards as inspiration. No other industry has stayed this consistent in quality.

>>282387696
America self-destructed it's animation industry around the 2000s/2010s so it's not really surprising they went after anime with greenmailing because they're too retarded and braindead to ever admit that their own animation is raped and have to loot other media to make up for it.

>>282387750
This

>>282389654
Most Americans hate American animation. The problem is that the animation companies got taken over by people who hate themselves and their country and then proceeded to fire everyone with actual skill (companies like Disney don't even know how to do 2d animation anymore). Passion matters a lot to animation. It is why anime can be so good and why stuff made by people who explicitly hate passion tends to be bad. Also, I'd say American animation died around the 90s with only a few holdouts lasting longer.

>>282389837
I legit can't fucking understand ugly worship. Like, even the ugliest nip is able to draw something beautiful

>>282390057
Ugly people want things to be ugly. That or they got raped by post-WW2 retard logic

>>282390098
ugly egocentric people you mean, the types that thinks that they are only considered ugly because of the media instead of basic human sense

>>282390098
No, before ugly people used to do cool shit.

>>282389264
Not that retarded anon but loli anime has been dead for more than a decade, anime has been mainstream for a really long time now and the quality of the works nowadays reflect that, just look at the screenwriter of Bocchi the Rock gloating about censoring the anime and calling the mangaka vision noise, almost every popular anime nowadays is bloated with 3dcg, aftereffects and super fast and unimpressive animation for people with adhd, it is what it is.

>>282390098
OG otaku culture is full of ugly people and that was the best time to be an otaku

>>282385684
They castrate their cars with ungodly amount of emission regulation or outright mandate manufacturing EVs.

>>282385217 (OP)
Demon Slayer is the Star Wars of anime. It's over.

>>282385258
You need to be louder and more annoying, not even joking here.

>>282386813
Art is subjective and all that but I dunno how anyone could say Bleach and Demon Slayer don't have attractive characters, especially the former.

>>282386082
where do you come from nigger?

>>282385258
If the nips are too stupid to keep hollywood long-noses from ruining anime then they only have themselves to blame for their own greed. All they need to do is just look at how much of a failure hollywood has become in the last 10 years and say "NO"

>>282392238
nips are whores for money like anybody else. the people that won't whore themselves out are never allowed near the top of the pyramid

>>282385217 (OP)
>Meanwhile, Japan's most recent related budget was approximately 25.2 billion yen. It is said that domestic production companies are not receiving sufficient support, and as a result, they are hesitant to expand overseas.
There, saves you the time.

Nothing happens (as usual).

>>282386533
>muh American

How dare you Europeans fucking lecture Americans on everything? You have hate speech laws, you have no right to self defense, you have hordes of migrants arriving on your doorstep. You are worse on everything? Like even now, you act like you aren't liberal but you are denying race.

>>282390057
Art has been in that decline, not just animation. Their laziest argument is that "cameras made realistic painting worthless" when the point of realistic painting is to embellish it with tools that no camera can ever produce, and also to appreciate how a skilled artist could use paint to simulate real-life textures while also appreciating paint textures in themselves.

Then it was just a constant ego trip by artists. Picasso was very skilled in his youth, but he wanted attention, so he started drawing like a schizo intentionally, which voila worked wonders for him financially, but in the end his later shit is ugly as fuck. Then it became worse when masses outright accepted it, to the point people crowd museums just to get their social media validation "Oh em gee I am watching (not really) a Picasso, look how refined I am!!!"

Animation was just one of the latest media to succumb to this retarded trend, cue Richard Williams complaining about not being able to find any praiseworthy or even above-mediocre draftsman in modern college programs. He passed away and so did his teachings.
Moreover, you can see this happening already in CGI effects for top-budget movies. The first Transformers movies, Spiderman, any capeslop or sci-fi movie pre-2020s has surprisingly better grasp of materials, explosions and other effects than modern CGI, to the point you can tell nowadays they look fake as fuck; shit, sometimes you can also see where the green screen starts because even background artists have gotten lazier and less skilled.

>>282385258
It was good while it lasted.

>>282392181
kubo has always been a bad artist

Good. Anime has been absolute dog shit since the 2000s after Japan's economy collapsed.

>>282385217 (OP)
On one hand that probably means more studios have more funding and support to get high quality adaptations greenlit.

on the other hand
>>282385258
As this guy implies, Japan has absolutely no idea how self-destructive Hollywood is.
Given the chance westoid will run even a beloved series into the ground regardless of how much input the original creators gives.
Also doesn't help that the average normalfag have horrible taste and will go watch Marvel tier slop instead of experimental stuff, further leading the Japanese industry to chase incentives in the west that will only stamper, if not outright censor their creativity.

Sadly, just like the in the west, the 80 yo boomers that don't care/understand how demographics work also still sit in high positions over there.

It's looking grim.
