Between Netflix trying to upend the entire damn production committee system and original productions, Westerners want to make authentic anime, rather than the inauthentic imitators that were popular in the early 2000’s. And that means co-productions and hiring foreign talent, because Western writers for animation kind of suck at their jobs in a lot of places.

No, and neither is your penchant for posts whose only purpose is griping, apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole generation brought up in PC culture where trying to be so overly non-offensive; leaving for a story with little risks or experimentation, and the viewers are no better for having experienced it. Networks have long since decided that entertainment is not their goal as a company. Their goal is profits, and shows with cheap animation styles, and no effort on the scripts are going to bring in more money with the least risk possible, than trying something more adventurous and thought out. Tv Ads pay the same no matter if the show is 500k to produce or 15k, so the risk to reward has shown them that it's foolish to try and make series that are competently done. Networks are now pushing towards Japan simply because they're cheap. Anime is far cheaper to make than western cartoons. One episode of steven universe can pay for 6 episodes of anime; and I mean if every episode were high budget full action anime, no cutting corners. The Steven Universe movie was $45 million. That could have bought 22, 13 episode seasons. For the price of that movie they could have produced 22 brand new series for the network.

K I actually agree with the fact that committees are causing a ton of the problems in the anime industry these days. But I just can't seem to accept how it's changing.
