After the turn of the millenium, no one was asking for Anime to get bigger or officials to get involved in exporting it. The fansub/scanlate community had everything under control and Crunchyroll was hated and only used for finding underaged terminally online weebs to groom.
Its growth as a mainstream business is almost perfectly in line with the downfall of the anime community and its influx of politics and tourists.
Exactly, I didnt gravitate to anime despite it being japanese. I gravitated to it BECAUSE it was japanese as they refused to bend knee to the westerns degenerate standards. They did their own thing were unapologetically based, and I loved them for it. So if they think they can bend the knee and stay awesome, they're in for a shock. They will fail, just like western entertainment failed.
I say this as an anime fan of over 25 years:
If this is what exporting anime leads to?
Fuck it. Anime for the Japanese ONLY. Never export. Keep your identity.
