Anime in Japan is not mainstream enterteinment. Anime in Japan is for children and creepy adults. After a certain age, watching anime is extremely creepy. Here's my source:
quora.com
Manga is a little bit more popular than comics are in the west but most people stop watching anime and reading manga after middle school. Here's my source:
quora.com
Japan's population is aging and declining at an incredible rate. There will be less children(target audience) in the future. We can already see the result of the population decline. Most anime is outsourced to China and Korea because they can't find animators. There is not that many young people or people who are interested in anime. My predictions are these:
>In the future amount of anime will decline.
>Japanese anime will become more obscure than it already is.
>Other countries will start to make their own anime.
>Chinese anime today get billions of views in China alone so it's safe to say that Chinese anime already has more viewers than Japanese anime. Imagine what will happen when they go international.
>Japan's economy will crash because of the debt. Anime budgets will bottom out.
>China will keep rising. Chinese anime may have budgets that Japanese can only dream of.
>America will start to make its own anime like Castlevania which was more popular and better than any Japanese anime that came out recently.
Japan is a country of old people and remember anime is for children only in Japan. Anime watcher adults are creepy there just like in every other country.
Future of anime industry is dark

It's almost as if more and more anime these days is marketed to the older otaku demographic nowadays

Then why is the Japanese fanbase of the most popular manga in Japan made up predominantly of adults, at 88% ?
>quora
kill yourself
Because they have been reading that for years. The only manga they read is probably One Piece.

Stopped reading.

End your life, brotha.
Why?
I will gladly watch anything from any country as long as it is animated in 2D. I don't like flash shit or CGI. I don't watch anime because its Japanese I watch it because of the method of its animation. If China or France or even America can make good looking 2D shit I will watch it.
>anime not mainstream
hasn't this always been the case?
>Here's my source:
>posts nu-yahoo answers link
It's going to get less popular.
What's wrong with it?
it may not be mainstream entertainment in Japan but it sure is in the west
Funny.
I could walk around Tokyo right now and see somebody wearing a Doraemon or Shin-Chan shirt
Quit making up lies
Nigger, anime in japan literally just means animation, everything from Disney movies to shit like hxh gakuen.
if u want to support an idea you need solid material to prove it, not a chit chat of some faggots in a who-knows website
>Calls me a liar
>lists children shows
What the fuck?!
That faggot is a top writer on quora and have been to Japan and lived there. Start watching this video after 7.30

>claim anime is not mainstream in japan
>list two anime series that are mainstream and well known in japan
how are you not a liar?
I never said children shows are not popular. Only children watch anime in Japan so ofc a kids show is going to be popular.
Its the worst aspects of reddit and wikipedia, it have the pseudo-intellectualism of wikipdia along with the populism of reddit, leading to a lot of bullshit that gets voted up because it fits in with the hivemind of reddit.
At least when its plebbit you know its someone horseshit and when its wikipedia you can check if its actually referenced what the crap its written so you can check if its true or not.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with quora and you're shitposting for the sake of shitposting.
>Friedman
There are many Friedmans in the world. Your econ background is showing.
>Erica (((Friedman)))
But user anime and manga is for children. According to most of them would grow out of it
Doraemon is a cultural symbol, its not even anime as it was created by Fujiko Fujio that died in 96-
Shin-Chan also manga, its more recent but its creator also died about a decade ago (yes, 2009).
>That faggot is a top writer on quora and have been to Japan and lived there.
And? still just the opinion of a single person not the actual reality of anime in Japan
One Piece is a "normalfag" manga/anime
hahahaha this fucking post is too fucking retarded where do you we are faggot hahahaha
blah blah blah, same thread again by some psuedo-intellectual 4channer who thinks we should give a damn what he thinks. fuck off, Yea Forums isn't your blog
>In the future amount of anime will decline.
This has been expected for a while now. There's always manga anyway.
>Japanese anime will become more obscure than it already is.
Good.
>>Other countries will start to make their own anime.
Literally impossible, and it doesn't matter.
>Chinese anime
Not a thing
>today get billions of views in China alone so it's safe to say that Chinese anime already has more viewers than Japanese anime. Imagine what will happen when they go international.
Who the fuck cares? They'll never be able to replace actual anime.
>Japan's economy will crash because of the debt. Anime budgets will bottom out.
That will suck, but it won't last forever.
>>China will keep rising. Chinese anime may have budgets that Japanese can only dream of.
And? You can throw as much fucking money as you want, it'll still be shit. That shit they did about Marx had Berserk tier CGI. Really stiff movements. And then you still have the separate matter of whether it's even fun or not. It can look pretty, but it still won't have the same feel as anime.
>>America will start to make its own anime like Castlevania which was more popular and better than any Japanese anime that came out recently.
I didn't watch it so I can't say how Castlevania was, but overall American """"""""anime"""""""" will be the same thing as with China. You'll be able to tell that it's American, and it'll fucking suck because that's how American cartoons are today.
In short, get the fuck out of here, retard.
Anybody here watched that Marx anime? I think it's being subbed by someone on youtube? How is it, storywise?
>In short, get the fuck out of here, retard.

lmao this
Japanese animation industry is doing fine. "Declining" means less shitty anime every season and greater focus on quality.
I'm not seeing it. QUALITY isn't going away anytime soon.
Indeed
Italy tried making its own anime recently and it was laughed at by the few people that cared. Other countries have local "mangakas" but almost no one cares for them.
>Here's my source:
>quora
Why is this piece of shit thread still up?
>My post didn't get enough attention in the other thread so let me post this retarded shit again
Literally, unironically, kill yourself.
The joke's on you. Japan cares. One of these 'mangaka' got an anime adaptation.
Why not? Give a reason.
You had me until you unironically quoted Ericow. Fuck that bitch.
stop replying to this shitty thread made by an fucking 3rd world brain-damaged attentionwhore
Netfilx will save anime, mark my words.
Or less risky projects and more glorified mobage commercials... The whole decline thing might be just fictional though, BD sales keep going down but live-streaming is making a lot of money. I often see people at 5ch mentioning they watch anime at Amazon Prime, anything funded by Netflix is pretty much winning from start and every season there are two or three anime that get popular at Chinese streaming sites and cash in.
Future of anime is Chinese anime. Japs have their 7 sacred anime memes they recycle in random order ad nauseum. It's stale and dumb.
Hod do titties get past Chinese censorship? They can't show cleavage in on the TV anymore. Anything too sexy is an automatic ban.
Just fucking kill yourself, e-celeb worshipping piece of trash.
*How
You aren't any better.
Because most if not everything you "learn" about China is glow in dark misinformation.
maybe if they stop funding the same show 10 times
The greatest enemy of global interest in chinese anime is the chinese language. Fuck listening to that shit.
Not really.
>quora
3/10 apply yourself.
You can always mute it and just read the subs.
You're making the fundamentally flawed assumption that those children will grow up, and not just remain manchildren.
>NTR
PICKED THE FUCK UP!!
Chinese anime is the same shit.
Fair point.
>you can always remove half of the experience
Is there a name for the phenomena where something becomes popular and sacrefices its uniqueness/quality for mass appeal?
Because yeah, that will likely happen to anime
Just hope there is an underground scene that remains true to its core, like there is with Jazz, Hiphop, and other things I cant think of right now
I mean, if you hate listening to Mandarin so much, that part of the watching experience is clearly unpleasant for you, so why not remove it?
I'm 31. I used to spend a ton of time on this board in 2005. I promise you, OP's post is the exact same thing people were posting back then.
Need I remind you:
- The anime bubble in the US burst yet somehow, anime/manga companies adapted (although we lost some along the way)
- Madhouse died and returned, like Jesus
- Gonzo died and returned, like bad CGI mecha Jesus
- In 2005-7 all anybody talked about was moe as the death of anime. Moefags vs. garfags. Somehow, good anime still got made since then (despite the same old garbage every season)
- Studio Trigger
- We lost Satoshi Kon. Nothing will replace him. But we got:
- Your Name smashing records everywhere and Masaaki Yuasa finally going mainstream
People and companies die. Animu will continue.
Except its literally the same thing in the West as in Japan. Shonen anime is the mainstream cash cow and is what is popular in both places. If we're talking the more niche stuff it's just as ignored in Japan as it is in the West still and just as under threat of not being seen as a worthy investment here as it is there unfortunately
Not really. Chink anime is made by fellow weebs and is very self-conscious about repeating anime memes. They make fun of them. Sometimes watching their shows feels like bunch of anons learned how to anime and did a thing.
>Is there a name for the phenomena where something becomes popular and sacrefices its uniqueness/quality for mass appeal?
Commercialisation.
Late night anime is produced in more quantity than children's anime though.
This, the only countries that have made shows that can compare to anime are America and France, and given that nothing good has come since I’d say both of those series were flukes.
The fucking point was >The greatest enemy of global interest in chinese anime is the chinese language.
We're not talking consumer end, we're talking producer end, whether or not Chinese """""anime"""""" would be able to compete on a global scale. If I have to removed half of the experience, I'll just drop it entirely. And if that's a common opinion, then china won't be able to compete.
Not really. See anime English dubs. Funimation simuldubs. Some people don't watch ANY anime subbed.
China actually made an animu about an autistic pro gamer being autistic which appeals to me. Japan gave me nothing of this sort. So there's that.

>Is there a name for the phenomena where something becomes popular and sacrefices its uniqueness/quality for mass appeal?
skyrim. also sometimes referred to as Todd Howard you fucking sellout
It was never mainstream and never will be. What else is new?
>Japanese anime will become more obscure than it already is.
And... that is BAD thing?
Skyrim wasn't that bad, it has a lot of flaws (and I mean a LOT) but so does every single TES game. Fallout 4 on the other hand can go fuck itself.
The idea that anime is suddenly in dire straits is complete nonsense
Anime's not anymore "obscure" in Japan than it was a decade ago. It's always been a niche market and is still growing in spite of it
>Marx Anime
Marx? As in Karl Marx? What the fuck.
>anime not mainstream
This is a good thing though, don't want normalfaggots ruining everything i like lad
and yes, I am fucking gatekeeping faggot
Yep. You haven't been around for a while.
>animenewsnetwork.com
i mean how dumb are you if you couldn't look at literally every anime being about high-school age characters or younger and figure that out?
Max Weber best girl.
it's not good. not as history, not as marxist propaganda, and not as entertainment, unless you enjoy the fucky animation and flat everything-design.
So you've watched it? Can you tell me some more?
>Faggot mooches off his wealthy friend his whole life, never working a single fucking day
>Pens an angsty diary where he whines about how hard people work (but not him)
>Proceeds to get hundreds of millions killed off-screen because of the shit religion he sharted out onto paper.
You tell me how you turn this into an interesting story. Marx's life is absolutely boring, the only thing of interest is the despicable shit retards have done in his shitty name.
Doesn't matter as long these 4 survive plus a select other few like MHA,One Punch Man and JOJO the rest doesn't matter
I want to watch it if only scratch the itch of curiosity. I have a degree in sociology so I've read a lot about that guy.
Make it all about his writing then. I mean that one film about Mozart ('Amadeus') was actually brilliant.
Wasn't he persecuted? I guess you can make an Arc about that.
China literally produces Karl Marx anime and faggots still claim China isn't socialist anymore
It's all on youtube
youtube.com
Make sure to appreciate the quality of true Chinese cartoons
Well, it isn't.
Who the hell doesn't know China is a communist shithole?
Isn't that OP image the Wikipedia anime symbol as well?
Tencent guanxi-ing their way past the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is the exception, not the rule.
Try getting cleavage on TV in China without being worth $100 billion and promising to revolutionize Chinese media. Just two years ago they censored Fan Bingbing's chest in a historical drama because they thought her period-accurate dress was cut too low.
It was 2015 actually, not two years ago. My bad.
テキトーなこと言ってんじゃねえよ

im an adult and i watch anime, so no japan doesnt think that
Why are you mixing traditional and simplified?
>mfw OP posts article form quora he found on his iPhone
Just because you provide a source doesn't mean the source is automatically correct; it just means the reliability of the source can be evaluated. In this case the source is a Qora (aka nu-Yahoo Answers) post by some random woman named Erica Friedman (doesn't sound Japanese...) whose only "qualification" is being a published Huffington Post writer (which is probably a worse indicator of reliability than having no credentials at all). Since she doesn't provide a source for her information and doesn't seem to have any relevant qualifications, it doesn't actually bolster your statement at all and is just as unreliable as if you had posted it without the source. The only difference is that it shows that at least one random woman on the internet agrees with you.
Why are there so many Indians on Quora?

The fact that someone post this means that this little guy got triggered by chinese people posting on his safespace. Cope.

There are three ways you can run a business successfully: best quality, lowest price, or segmentation. Animu has always been about segmentation - pitching very specific things to very specific audiences.
There is no need to be mainstream in order to succeed.
OP sounds like an "it should cater to me tooooooo" kinda fag and should kindly fuck back off to ANN and continue breeding the super AIDS that will end us all.

>implying I give a flying fuck what japan thinks
>implying they shouldn't cut down are the hot garbage they spend time animating
They could animate 10 things a year and it'd be more than I finish now. Instead we get bombarded with shit. there's 3 anime tops worth watching each season.
Why does every bait thread get hundreds of replies now?
Children aren't target audience for anime. Virtually all new anime is aired past midnight, when children are sleeping. Night time anime mainly rely on disc sales to break even. Children dont buy bds. Do the math, dumbass. The kiddy anime that airs during the day is doing fine too. Maybe viewership will decline in future due to falling birth rates but Japan is still far from that point.
>In the future amount of anime will decline.
That's the best thing that could happen to the industry.

Very nice post, thank you for sharing this cute picture of your wife with us.
What. A. DORK.
Quora is literally less funny yahoo answers.
Hi, I'm Japanese, and many of your points are wrong. In fact so many of them are wrong that as I was thinking how to respond to them, I realized it would be too much time and effort for a post that has no real validity in the first place, so I decided not to do it. I'm glad there is no stupid person on Yea Forums.

Ok
OP is a ironic post. Why this thread is still up? I don't know.
Since this thread is basically just shitposting at this point, give me some reaction pics for my folder I'm running low.
holy shit, i'm less than 5 minutes into this and the scene where they're all crying over marx's grave already made my sides combust
this is so fucking bad, even as propaganda it's way too on the nose
That's mostly because Quora requires you to have an identity for your input to be taken seriously, whereas with Yahoo any random shitposter can make an account and start pounding away at the keyboard.
Then why did you post a newspaper worth of text you rice eating nigger?
I feel bad for your education if that is too much text for you to process.
Hai user-kun-sama
Yes, Iam starting to fear that the future of anime is dark, which is very unfortunate. But, there were many good years from which there were many great anime, from the 80s the the present day, there were many, many great shows. And even in the present day, though I feel it may be declining, it's only the beginning of the decline, in my opinion, and I think that there are still around five years left before things truly go downhill, and there is still the hope that thigns will recover before then. So I think we should be happy with all the good older shows, and not worry about the future as much, because it isn't even certain yet that it will be bad, or as bad as we may fear it may be
Pic related may be tinfoil and probably at least half bullshit, but it would certainly explain your faggotry, OP.
>Wikipedia picture, taken straight from there, instead of literally any fucking picture a regular user could have saved and used

I don't know or for that matter much care where you're from, but it's obviously not around here. You have to go back.
