Why doesn't the Japanese anime market care about American audiences...

Why doesn't the Japanese anime market care about American audiences? I was told that the success of a series depends solely on domestic sales, they do not factor in international. So if a series sells like crap in Japan but like hotcakes in America, doesn't matter. If it did bad in Japan, that's it.
Next.
When Kishimoto came to NYCC, I was told that he was surprised. He has no idea there were so many Naruto fans in America.
The video game market seems to actually take American consumers into heart. Also considering the biggest video game event is E3 and that is known worldwide, with developers from all over the world, including Japan, appearing there.

the moment anime starts appealing to Americans it'll become trash

You forget: Not all games appear in E3. Just games localized to the west. TGS still is the show to watch if you want to see future Japanese games.
The thing is that the cultural difference in Japan actually plays as a key factor. Japanese sensibilites DO NOT match that of the west. They are liberal while still treasuring what's traditional. Maybe even more liberal than the west. In the case of anime, they do have plans to extend the reach of their animation industry, pouring billions in it. But they know that the west is more intolerant of, say, women getting beaten up, or gay people being shone in a comedic or ridiculous light.
Kodomo no Jikan, for example, shows how thick the barrier between the east and the west is.

Why the fuck should they care?

Anime is much more popular in Eastern/South-Eastern Asian countries. The American market is more of a formality than practical investment.

Because all those 1-2 cour anime series are there to create interest in the source material (Manga/LN), 90%+ of which are never officially translated and sold overseas. Blu-ray/DVD sales are mostly there to just offset the cost of the anime.

wtf

Why would they care about disgusting muttoid creatures? The world would be vastly improved if los gordos estados was nuked

This barrier is influenced by the censorous tradition that exist in the west. Everything westerners don't like is covertly censored. The west is just as bad as China, in that regards. For example, westerners doesn't like anyone challeging their views. Liberals didn't like Goblin Slayer and wanted it censored. Same with Shield Hero. Conservatives didn't like KnJ and would definitely HATE Lotte no Omocha. Those are gonna be censored to (in the case of KnJ, it was already banned from America).

Anime doesn't need to (and shouldn't) try to appeal to Americans because Americans already like anime for what it is.

You mean "the fans", not just Americans.

t. burger mad he's not always at the centre of everything
America isn't important, Europe isn't important, the only places outside Japan that make enough money to bother caring about are China and Korea.

3/3
And Japan recognize these barriers. SO the logical conclusion is not to pander to the people who collectively has a problem with your product no matter how you fix it, else risk sacrificing what makes anime great. Instead it them focuses only to its fans and those willing to pay for it. See LWA as an example.

because Japanese companies don’t see much money at all from overseas sales because either everything is pirated or the greedy dub companies owned by you know who take all the money for doing shit ass substandard work while Japanese animators starve and get set on fire

Japanese companies have always been comfortable with hardware exports, so pushing consoles overseas was a natural move for them, but creative exports without such a solid backing have always been more difficult. The unreliability of them and a lack of familiarity with overseas markets just represent hurdles that older Japanese bosses aren't willing to navigate. You can see the same in jpop, there's absolutely no good reason why jpop couldn't have 'gone international' in the way kpop has.
Importantly, much income from anime comes not from those streaming it, but from people who purchase merchandise and related media (manga, LNs, etc), and it takes a lot of crunchyroll normies to outweigh otaku-san's $6,000 yearly spending of his parents money on figurines.
Things are changing though now that animation studios have discovered that crunchyroll et al can almost cover the whole cost of production in prepayments just to be allowed to stream it even before those shows start generating an income as they are watched on those sites.
Some people are fearful that anime is going to turn to westernized shit and be stripped of all its nippness and degeneracy but you all need to remember that China eclipses the West as a current and projected market for anime, and, honestly, Chinese weebs are likely to do -less- damage to the medium than Americans.

If you want confirmation of this just look at Carole and Tuesday.

Why doesn't America make their own anime with their own animators? Piss off.

Impossible. Americans don't have the right culture.

>No argument

haha gottem
dumb ass nigger

t. mutt

Some mangakas that are more popular overseas do care about them, I think. Or they just like taking vacations to Yurop and Murrica.

Who cares about burgers?

Burgers? Who cares?

There's nothing wrong marketing anime towards asians and euros, but never pander to Americans. They'll try to sanitize it like they do with all forms of entertainment.

Now you're ranting with an awful example

They do care, and they also understand that the American audience, the REAL audience, likes Anime just the way they make it. Changing it will lead to shit.

I have a feeling OP is a faggot SJW who's upset anime titties is so damn good and the happiness of others (even us anime losers) triggers them.

Anglo protestant was a mistake.

the anime industry can survive solely on japan

>Why would they care about disgusting muttoid creatures? The world would be vastly improved if los gordos estados was nuked

Imagine saying thing that can apply to you

>the only thing left and right ameriburgers agree on, is censoring anything they dont like
This is next level pottery

It isn't at all an american thing. It is an anglo-saxon thing. You see the same mentality in Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland. I don't know why or what, but something happened culturally on the Bristish Isles and this disgusting puritanism (?) got exported to all their white colonies. Since the US has been the world leadser since ca 1945 this mentality is unfortunately slowly seeping in to other cultures. My only hope is that the anglos crash themselves into the ground before their mindset can completely take root in the rest of the planet.
