Didnt think about it this way.. but all in all. Theyll just double down on westernization of anime/asian stuff.
Oh, shit!
"In accordance with the tariffs, we will now be producing anime in America" - Japan, hopefully never.
But, seriously, my point is that if selling to America becomes much less feasible, there's no reason for Japan to Westernize their products, since America would no longer be a target market. Which would ironically make anime even more popular in the West.
We are already ramping up "domestic" anime crap via netflix, amazon and disney plus. All these 3 are making faux anime now.
Yup. It's also sneaky, because they're also licensing some stuff, so there's some real anime that's labeled "Netflix" but is still good...then there's some absolutely awful Netflix stuff that's just about as bad as you can get. Sneaky buggers.
I refuse to watch anything from them. I dont want these assholes making more "anime". Maybe if they make some straight up golden boy type fan service "anime" to show they arent faggots. Hell even a panty shot or two would suffice. Or a summer bikini special episode.. not that id want to see panties or bikini of ugly chars or female chars with male bodies...
That's frighteningly likely, since that's already how Japan deal with auto tariffs.
