Warner Bros. expanding anime production to more than 10 series per year
Warner Bros. is looking to expand their anime production in a big way – with the media giant aggressively wanting to release double digits each year. The Asia-Pacific branch of Warner Bros.
No. Keep the filthy Gaijin studios out of anime.
Somebody call the Yakuza and let them know that their waifus are in trouble.
The Yakuza are gone bro. Japanese government cracked down on them for decades. Peaceful times produce weak men and all that.
Eh, they're still around. They just make their money off of scamming stupid tourists.
I think perhaps we need the triad for this, the modern Yakuza seems a bit watered down these days.
Begone tourist.
Hmm, A more direct avenue of attack, if it goes the way of crunchyrolls own made anime we should be safe (for a while longer) since currently it seems to be stated as goal of greed, however if they get into the business and establish themself they will be the central staging ground to acquire more ground. It really comes down if they can play the long game or not.
So they got the numbers that the plebs do not like their shit but cannot comprehend why.
Fuck
Hopefully this is just them giving IP access to Japan and creating anime from it given the failures of their own studios.
It depends on Isakai Suicide Squad's success on how they'll approach it.
The suits approved this thinking “gosh those kids sure do love that art style. I know let’s have our awesome diverse California writers make some anime.”
They will completely miss that part of the enjoyment of anime and manga is the escapism from woke bullshit.
They will never stop until they bring down the quality of anime same as western pile of slops. Unfortunately Japanese boomer producers will accept the money to put westerner in charge of something.
These western investors at big corporations will try anything to topple the Japanese anime industry because it is eating western entertainment right now for lunch not knowing why anime is successful in the first place. All they will try to do is infiltrate and feign interests in anime and slowly try to corrupt it.
I may be blackpilled or something but I always expect the worst out of these corporate investors and producers. Rather than honourably admitting defeat and letting western entertainment run its course, they would rather take down their competitor as they are getting destroyed. Just look at game industry in general. Instead being happy successful Japanese games are being made still now, these western game devs are insanely salty at Elden Ring and Palworld success.
They can imitate, but that's all they can do. True anime comes from a deep love, of not just the medium, not just the process, not just of some autistic detail work of some random topic, but of the tropes and memes, too.
Look at every major genre-definer, genre-popularizer, and even just major hit. They all have "problematic elements" in them. If you can't accept such things, you'll never have a genre-defining hit. I mean, you could, it's possible to, but by restricting the obsessions, perversions, and insanities of the creators, you also restrict their full potential.
Amen. I can't put it any better.
this is legit cultural appropriation.. lol.
Not that surprised. Zaslav was the easiest money possible. Reality TV is one thing but just buying the rights to anime and all they got to do is dub it over in English and bam.
Do I get another Ninja Batman?
It's over. If the Japanese don't defend their culture and bend the knee to the West, there's nothing weebs like us can do.
