I have noticed a shift from Square Enix firing their California staff, Sony indicating they may focus only on Japanese devs and the success of the Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man movies.
Hopefully Japan recognises they hold a LOT of cultural power thanks to their media, they just need to keep the parasites out and keep it authentic.
That may have been true 10 or 20 years ago, but good luck finding a lot of people abroad, or even locally, saying that they're still star wars fans today.
There's a difference between fans and consumers. Disney is making bank with their Star Wars areas. Universal is doing great with Nintendo and Harry Potter.
Good. They're tired of having to deal with it as much as the rest of us, but they're doing something about it, instead of letting these parasites fail upwards.
The article I heard Chibi Reviews quoting the other day made it sound less like it was "get the western influence out" and more like "government money to fuel Japanese art(read:anime) is going to be handed out without the Japanese government getting a say in dictating how that art is crafted", which is different from fending off gaijin influence.

Is there anything more popular globally than dragon ball?
Besides religious beliefs? Star wars?

we like japanese media BECAUSE IT IS JAPANESE, not because a bunch of spiritually foreign communists pervert it into a mockery of itself.
It’s what we’ve been trying to tell them since the 90s’ and it took this long for them to listen.
Holy shit yes. Go farther.
Inb4 "We know."
Some things need repeating.

Good. Let games be what they were meant to be
Good.
