JAST USA was just kicked out of an anime convention in Texas this weekend https://archive.ph/u2URf >After a very successful Friday, we were banned from the San Japan convention in San Antonio, Texas this weekend. Our content is too provocative for the powerful of the Lone Star State, ahead of the anti-anime bill SB20 going into effect on Monday. >... >The law wasn't involved. No arrests, charges, prosecutions, trials, or convictions. Honestly I'll be surprised if anyone ever gets charged under this law. Its power is in this sort of private and self-censorship, not actually having cops arrest people for anime.

I'm looking for some anime compilations not dissimilar from the ones I'm posting here. Post what you got. >Aren't these bait images? Probably, but it's good to have each perspective. Basically old vs new, new vs old, etc etc In particular I'd like one image which says something like this: <Left half of the image is anime before 2006, then the right half of the image is anime after 2006, with the old ones having an emphasis on looking "silly" or "cute" whereas the new ones have an emphasis on looking "cool" and "gritty" Anyone seen this one before? I used to have it on my HDD but I suppose I lost it or accidentally got rid of it.

Jokes aside this weird phenomenon where westoids wrap themselves in a circlejerk bubble and then gaslight themselves out of reality of what media even is has to be studied, it happens so consistently you can probably get actual scientific data out of it.

Felt the thread needed one. Starting with some amusing news. No Game No Life Creator Fires Back At Western Reader Bitching About No Dark-Skinned Characters https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/03/09/no-game-no-life-creator-fires-back-after-western-reader-criticizes-series-lack-of-dark-skinned-characters/ >Yet, despite the game taking place in a fully fictional country, a Western reader unsurprisingly took issue with the fact that Disboard did not exactly parallel real-world history. >On March 2nd, Kamiya took to Twitter to reveal that they had recently “received a scolding DM from a foreign reader who said ‘There were brown-skinned people in medeival and early modern Europe, why don’t they appear in your work?'” >Responding directly to this accusation, the Brazillian-Japanese creator declared, “First of all Disboard is not in Europe.” >“Were there furry ears or elves in medieval Europe?,” he added before noting “Also, there are usually brown-skinned characters.” >It should be noted that one of the sixteen different sentient races who have a seat at the table of Disboard politics are the dwarves, all of whom are noticably more tan than their peers. >However, as they did not appear in the series’ anime adaptation nor have they made their debut in its manga version, it seems that this fan had not fully engaged with Kamiya’s work before attempting to rake him over the coals. >Ultimately, the entire interaction left Kamiya wondering if they would have a better understanding of the fan’s mentality if, instead of leaving for Japan with his parents at the age of 7, he had lived out his life in the United States. >“I wonder if I wouldn’t understand it because I am now completely close to the Japanese,” said the creator. Didn't realize the NGNL creator was half-brazilian, kek.

>60% of the companies actually producing anime saw declining profit or losses in 2024, despite industry revenue being at an all-time high https://archive.ph/DVeHo <According to an industry survey of Japanese anime production companies by Teikoku Databank, the domestic anime production market was estimated at roughly $2.45 billion in 2024, marking a 4% increase from 2023 and a new record high. At the same time, 60% of companies serving as prime contractors or gross contractors in anime production saw profitability decrease compared to the previous year, with many slipping into the red (as reported by Otaku Soken). <... <As the main reason why so many anime production companies are seeing business performance worsen, Teikoku Databank cites the industry’s increasingly severe shortage in manpower. With the demand for anime increasing worldwide and projects multiplying, there are not enough animators to sustain the output. As a result, many studios are forced to extend production periods beyond initial forecasts, which leads to costs increasing and profit margins diminishing. <Teikoku Databank anticipates that Japan’s anime production market is likely to continue breaking growth records, but that production studios may continue to face a “profitless boom” situation due to rising production costs and staff shortages. >Japan’s Niconico sees paid subscriptions decline following credit card restrictions and adult content crackdown https://archive.ph/EhEK1 <Kadokawa’s financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026 reveal that overall revenue from its major video-streaming platform Niconico has been on a decline (source: Otaku Soken). The company attributes this primarily to a recent decrease in premium paid subscriptions, caused by credit card payments being suspended on the platform for months. <Although the most recent quarter saw subscriptions rebound slightly, with premium members growing by 5,000 to 994,000, this is still a far cry from past figures. Excluding the impact of the June 2024 Kadokawa cyberattack, which resulted in extraordinary losses for Niconico in the previous fiscal year, the company admits that membership numbers have remained below the one million mark for the second consecutive quarter, leading to an overall decline in revenue. <While the number has been slowly dwindling these past few years (2016-2017 saw premium members peaking at 2.5 million), Kadokawa attributes the more recent decline to the temporary suspension of international credit cards on Niconico. From May 2024 to February 2025, no credit cards except for JBC were available as payment options on the site, which Kadokawa thinks has driven some members away. <Niconico has since revised its Terms of Use and Action Guidelines, as well as effectively banned all adult content and reinstated the Visa-brand credit card payment option. Despite this move, the 9-month lull during which potential premium subscribers could not pay using their Visa credit cards might have done irreparable damage to the streaming service. <Niconico’s current plans are to continue to implement mechanisms that will sustainably produce exclusive creators on the platform and to create opportunities for these creators to be active globally. It also wants to maximize licensing revenue, specifically from original music made by Niconico creators.
