The west should follow suit. Though it worries me that Sony still now has a near monopoly on anime in the west and have stated they want to mess with the production of it in Japan. We need to boycott funimation crunchyroll aniplex (I'd add viz media too cause they have said some woke things and saying things like wanting to mess with anime too. ) support other anime companies like sentai or others instead. Or do something else like pirating but don't support Sony instead support the creators in other ways like buying merch . . And find some way to contact and let Japanese creators know we don't support this.
