You're not wrong. It's about western influence in general. Low quality, ugly and political shows.
I guess it could affect porn (Hentai) as well...
Define political
Pushing agendas, saying who's good who's bad etc.
Can you name some examples? Or some animes that dont do that?
one concrete example please
Considering (while still small) censorship that's already going on, people are afraid it might get way worse with meddling of big wester companies. It's hard to think differently when you see what kind of shows for example Disney produces. Most of them are flops.
If Disney or HBO or AS buys out large anime studies I think it's highly probable they are going to produce something like idk for example recent Scooby Doo reboot. (Or Velma spinoff, I don't think it even had Scooby in it) I saw one episode. It was hard to watch your childhood being ruined by this slop. It has everything I mentioned before, ugliness, agenda, low quality corporate attempt to make money on people's nostalgia.
If they'd buy right for some old anime series for sure they would make a reboot nobody asked for while destroying everything people loved about the series.
Maybe I'm overreacting but I look at gaming side and see abominations like Concord are being made and just feel hopeless.
The issue with that line of thought is that those pieces of media were garbage regardless of political intent.
Pushing a certain line of thought didnt make them bad, they were bad regardless of their intent.
Well thanks for letting us know you have next to 0 media literacy.
I don't live in America. I find it fascinating how much American media prioritises entertainment value over actual accurate news
A very good example would be how covid was portrayed over there during the start of the pandemic
Yes, Japanese manga NEVER tell you who is good and who is bad.
Do you even read what you write yourself or is that a reflex nowadays where your brain isn't even involved anymore?
