I guess you agree with me that anime would be produced ethically and with better content under socialism and that society without anime would not be an all round win, but a loss for the culture and expression?
At that point it wouldn’t be “Anime” as we know it. I use the term to refer to the exploitative industry and subculture that it fosters, not the art. And no, I don’t value cultural expression over the material conditions of the workers who are exploited to make them, or the eradication of the toxic subculture that results from it.

You constantly mix the medium with content and production mode. It’s pointless to discuss this anymore.
