Anime is not made for normal people. They are made for weebs. That's always the case in Japan. Some just happened to be popular outside weebs community but weebs are always the prime target audience.
The period from the 1980s to 2000 marked the golden age of Japanese science fiction and fantasy works. Around 2010, Japanese animation entered its "moe-centric" golden era, shedding the grand narratives and boundless fantasies about the universe and future that defined the late 20th century. Yet, numerous outstanding works continued to emerge. The problem lies in the past decade. I can distinctly sense a decline in narrative quality within Japanese animation, as if even Japan's cultural industry has aged along with its population.
I'm sure the Europeans can regulate their way out of this - just impose hefty fines, problem solved.
"But the government has repeatedly made it clear that it wants more "accountability" from top Defence officials when it comes to delivering sophisticated military capabilities and platforms, with Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy flagging last week the government would make new announcements "shortly".
Well, imagine that.
1. Actually demanding accountability from Defence bureaucrats. What a novel concept - almost like Australia is taking a leaf from the CPC's playbook.
2. Canberra can demand accountability from the ADF, but they sure as hell won't be able to demand accountability from Washington DC.
AUKUS continues to be the biggest white elephant outside of Indian defence procurement, in my humble opinion.
Yeah, I used to enjoy anime once but once you watch enough and have seen its general formula, you would have seen everything as one of the main issues with anime are is that the majority do not have anything that is really thought provoking about them and are literally just trying to fill out a tv tropes quota sheet. Also they seem to lower the bar as to how perverted they make the characters, how people celebrate this is beyond me. I struggle to find an anime now that can capture my interest for a lengthy period of time and the last show that did, (To be hero X) is in fact an animation made in China. Everything this year alone honestly sucked
Yeah, agree completely.
Chinese cities are the most advanced cities on earth. Full stop.
All we need to do is watch some Youtbue videos, and it is same content, that no one has seen replicated anywhere else, whether currently or in the past.
The curious thing is this kind of started during the Pandemic, where China closed it doors, so no one outside knew what was going on. Now it is wall to wall denial.
Those Chinese who think Japan is still ahead of China are fooling themselves.
Who are we going to believe? Old stereotypes or our lying eyes.

I'm of the belief that most people who visit Japan only do so under the guise of cultural appreciation. Food is legitimate, to get sushi that's fresher and cheaper but you'd have to be an extremely gluttonous person to think it to be worth it to fly to the other side of the world to eat.
I think it's because due to Japan's lack of life vigor since losing the war and being militarily occupied, that the culure became shy and withdrawn. And men in that culture are also shy and withdrawn. It's to the point where Japanese girls don't care who you are, how tall you are, what color you are, how much money you make, (realistically, be better looking than like a 2/10) as long as you can talk to them and be straight with your intentions they will ahegao immediately because in their whole lives, they have never met a man so bold with such directive. My cousin works in fashion and she visits Japan for shows at least once a year; she says if you're a man and can't get laid in Japan, you should just kill yourself and start over.
My grand uncle thought he was baller. In Nanjing, he hit on a mafia boss' girl. She warned him it's dangerous to court her but he said "Dangerous" is his middle name... unfortunately, his first name was "Not." She accepted his advances and she would soon find out that there was a lot less to him than what met the eye because he had literally nothing to deal with thugs other than hoping that she was just joking. One day as he left he house after pulling his back pants up, her warning caught up to him and they beat him so severely, he was permanently maimed. One of his legs was broken in so many places that even after treatment, he limped with a crutch. After that, girl after girl passed him up like a bruised and dripping peach at the fruit stand in China. So one day, on a business trip to Japan, he got into a Japanese hotel and I'm not sure on the details, but he apparently had his way with the cleaning staff. She married him and they have 3 kids together; she's really good to him and he's very happy actually. They live in Maryland because China's the level of PC is where is friends call him Crip, his coworkers called him Crip, his boss calls him Crip, basically everyone other than his wife and the actual Los Angeles Crips called him Crip, or some version of it, and he couldn't take it anymore. But even an ocean away, whenever anyone called to ask, he would tell his friends and family, "If Chinese girls look at you and cringe, just marry a Japanese girl."
Yeah but they don't necessarily know it's a place; they think it's an event LOL

Japanese anime is now like the rest of Japanese domestic businesses very risk averse due to the economic conditions and the lost decades. Churning out anime that just ticks the boxes of a tv trope quota list is how the studios can guarantee some audience, whereas doing something more daring or artistic is risky. The studios would rather take the bland guaranteed mediocre revenue from an unimaginative work than risk a total flop for being too daring creatively.
