There is still very decent anime being produced, albeit rarely and increasingly so given the sheer volume of slop being pumped by the weeb industrial complex. Some examples: Sonny Boy aired a couple of years ago and it's unironically a work of art; Miyazaki's lasted film was a muscular showing from a mature and thoughtful auteur; CITY THE ANIMATION is a currently airing anime that typifies the aesthetic greatness that anime as a medium is capable of achieving. There are more examples of this, of course, but I won't bore you.
Regardless, the claim that anime is in the decline is, I feel, fair criticism. Though even anime slop is generally less offensive than 95% of Western media. Anime also has the advantage of being Japanese and thus not sounding like fucking dog, unlike Korean or Chinese media. China undermines it's own artistic expression so there is nothing good that is being produced in the country, even the jingoist insectoid bullshit like Hero is extremely cynical if you judge it with eyes unclouded; the best Chinese productions are ironically the CHINA BAD documentaries like Behemoth. Also, China cannot retroactively claim Jackie Chan movies, that is against the rules and they need to fuck off.
Korean media suffers from excessive materialism and small dick syndrome. Films like Parasite, despite not being the cinematic feast that some pretend it to be, are very clear when it comes to the insectoid class structures of Korean society. It's a general oriental trend that is certainly not unique to Korea of course, but perhaps exists in its purest form in that country. Everything else is extremely artificial and materialistic, like a dystopian parody. At least I love how much they seethe about Japan, that is fun to see.
