    We need an anime crash. Too many light novel isekai adaptions, not enough good stories. Change my mind.

      The year is 2009 and you’re literally saying this about the latest moeblob/Kyoani copycat anime of the season.

      Changing mainstream tastes got nothing to do with improving anything about the industry, the trend chasers will just pick something else.

      The whole industry currently relies on an army of artists who work for next to nothing until they burn out. IDK if a crash would help but it certainly can’t make it any worse.

      We had an anime crash. In the 90’s. During the Lost Decade.

      The entire reason we’re flooded with low quality otaku facing garbage is because it’s the only stuff that remains profitable during an economic crisis, because the only people spending money on non-essentials like dvds and merchandise are people whose entire identity is centered around that specific type of product consumption, and if the industry doesn’t cater to them you go out of business because no one else is buying.
