Anyways, the anime industry began its decline over 40 years ago. In the 80s. When anime started being produced to cater to otaku, which led to works like WMT being declared unprofitable compared to monolith franchises/brands that thrive on otaku or low quality works focused on self-insertion and attractive women surrounding the main character, the issues still within anime today.
