California not only hasn't come up with financing that makes sense without toy companies (streaming exclusivity keeps proving to be not enough, but they keep trying) but I've yet to see California formulate any kind of response to the fact that Anime is now just as accessible to kids as cartoons are.
Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia are on Netflix and get american theater releases, and they consistently make money doing it. Makoto Shinkai movies do the dramatic animation game and are wildly successful even in American markets. Frieren and Apothecary Diaries even broken into the normiesphere more than any cartoon in recent memory.
But California keeps making fart jokes for kids with censorship, and fart jokes for adults where the characters can say fuck, and almost nothing else. They still have their heads buried in the sand pretending that anime is a niche, passing fad that they can just ignore until it goes away.

You're right, I should post a webm from something actually popular like Frieren.

The people who grew up with niche anime in the 90s are now in the prime spending period for stuff like MTG, and anyone younger than that has never even known anime as anything OTHER than normal. These days, anime is on netflix like any other programming. And if you are the sort of person who plays MTG, you like anime and fantasy. How many nerds are going to foreswear anime to get their fantasy and scifi fix with its the one medium that churns those genres out reliably?
