"Furthermore, the purchasing power of anime fans is also declining."
Make good shows and blacklist shitty localizers. How is that so hard?

Goddamn, its almost like vidya after the Suicide Squad fuckup and how many people are still playing 10+ year old games like CS and GTAV. I wonder what people are reading/watching in the anime space if its not the flavor of the month.

The manga is set in historical France (more specifically the region called Brittany, aka "Bretagne" by the French) during the 13th century.
Thomas, a young knight, is given the task to find a man called Andre and his daughter who is supposed to become the spouse for the Duke. On his way, Thomas stumbles into someone called Andre who participate in a tournament. However, this Andre turns out to be the daughter in a knight disguise, as she's in a personal quest of vengeance against the Duke of Britanny.
It essentially means Japanese staffs can no longer outsource work to foreign-based studios as much as they could back then, and the entire industry needs to be restructured in order to appeal more future animators in the country. Anime DVDs and Blu-Rays are very much on the expensive side for Japanese consumers, so I'm not surprised people are restraining themselves amidst of the current inflation economy affecting Japan too.
You want an entire season of a recent anime? That'll easily be 30k yen at the very least, regardless you get it in DVD or Blu-Ray format.

A bunch of really long-running and popular shows were running all at the same time years ago and they were never really replaced by anything in the same capacity so of course even in Japan, people are going to be spending less money. It's only going to get worse too because the current wave of popular shit now has 1 foot out the door with no up and comers in sight really.

I remember reading that has been going on for a while and publishers desperately trying to make the next naruto, dragonball and one piece happen.

Physical disk users on suicide watch. What a fucked up industry.

The average Japanese author is not going to care about whether or not the gaijin will correctly interpret their work in other languages.
Such ignorance has been the detriment of many good anime.
Though most authors treat this stuff like throwaway disposable garbage and shouldn't be surprised when the audience doesn't give a shit either. Its not limited to the Japanese but it really pains me to see such high effort art go to waste when it could be salvaged with an actual decent story to give some meaning to the characters like what used to happen in fictional media.

So according to the train show, a zombie's weakness is panties.

I haven't watched a lot of Japanese Zombie shows, but come to think of it no really.

I compare it to JoJo Part II, i.e. the Vampire baddie is seeking a means to survive in the daylight, which would be Nezuko (the red stone of Aja) and the goal is to simply keep her away from him now. Next season is probably going to be the last based on the current plot.
200% absolutely they will nigger up more anime seeking western shekels to stem the bleeding, quote me on that (see also Nintendo franchises getting darker than an undersea trench). You'll find me saying similar shit about Japan's economy dying in the early 90s in this thread, it never recovered, and anime has been suffering in quality/run times ever since. The nips, lacking foresight, will happily sell their franchises to the lowest bidder (Netfux/Amazon/HBO), giving us legions of nigLet shows ala Deathnote 2017 & Cowboy Bebop etc.
What nips don't realize is that the Big Daddy of their own collapsing fiat ponzi (the Rothschild dollar) is dying as well. America and its occupied client states are gonna be in for one hell of an in tandem depression (08 on super steroids).
Women's lib Daru in Steins;Gate, SJW talk in Demi-chan, the My Girlfriend is a Gal fiasco... to name just a few.

I purchase Girls Und Panzer Complete Collection. Heard good things. Only thing is I don't know much about tanks. But I heard the characters are the other highlight.
There are movies as well? How are they.

Noir. Get the original dub and sub actors back with the obvious exception being TARAKO. I'm still shocked she died. I could see someone like Mariko Suzuki replacing her as Altena. Or Michie Tomizawa. Hell any of the original voice actresses in Sailor Moon could do it.

They have some of the best-directed action sequences in film history.

Tbf earlier they mention for this excuse was Sigmund Freud.
Even like quoting Lady Charterlley's Lover is enough to blow up zombies. Certain methods take more effort than other....
Give a wikipedia read about the book, it was quite controversial about obscenity.
I think this is the weaker episode so far, but it's amusing to me that recently an interview about KLK 10th anniversary about fanservice is necessary for people, for the sake of "human immunity".
Original JP interview (google/DeepL translate if you have to), and this is EN summary from cbr.
TL;DR: Current days for commercialization, it's harder to have fanservice scenes in. Because people may feel uncomfortable and don't understand. Creators don't really want their audience to feel that either. But if thing is so sterile therefore human immunity will be weaken and "die". That's why director Imaishi and writer Nakashima are willing to go through stigma or infamy for the sake of humanity.
Original interview has more, like talking about audience favourite episode 4, 7 and 23. Creators are surprised by how popular Mako is to audience.

It's a sports show at heart, which I ordinarily don't care for, but the "sport" is so fun to watch that it's one of my all-time favorites. The concept of the world is ridiculous, but the show plays it completely straight. The characters aren't particularly complex, but they all bounce off each other well and the secondary cast is enormous.

If I had a dollar for everytime I've seen "the secret to chasing away the undead is through the power of sexy thoughts" in manga I'd have enough to buy a fairly decent meal.
