It should remain Japanese, but that doesn't mean anime can't be reformed from within in order to weed out the histrionic adolescent garbage.
It's been close to three decades of that garbage. Enough is enough.
Anime is largely for children though. Adults in Japan are expected to pursue more adult interests rather than watching cartoons all the time.
If it's largely for children then someone forgot to remove all the blood, gore, and violence. And Otaku are Otaku.
