Why Is Anime So Popular Lately?

Weebs want to pretend it's because anime is some godlike artform bestowed by the japs onto the rest of mankind.

It's not just that anime has become more popular/prevalent in the west, western animation has become animeized and is copying a lot of the tropes and style of anime. Is this because western animation studios realised the greatness of anime? Fuck no it's because anime is shit cheap and easy to produce.

Anime is popcorn. It's not smart or well animated or well thought out. It's cheap popcorn put out by an industry so fucked an uncaring that it's creators regularly commit suicide.

Japan has been selling series upon series of animated TV shows with repetitive junky animation, shitty nonsensical storylines and cliche tired tropes since the 1950s and you niggers still haven't figured it out yet.

This shit was sold to you decades before you were born by some balding Japanese buinessman who couldn't give a fuck about your kokoro.
 
Anime is a lot better than modern television, that's for sure.
Because our movies and television suck so much dick recently!
I basically don't watch tv anymore and rarely watch live action movies. The stories are usually ass, the actors the same playing themselves, with anime, i basically can't tell the voices because it's a different language, so every charecter is fresh and new, i have no expectations for them, so if it hits it hits hard, and if it fails, aw well, it wasn't like a 30 year old franchise like starwars that commited suicide with actors i knew and loved basically hating every minute. Only franchise i give a shit about any more is Fast and Furious, because CAR GO FAST and FUCKING FAMILY

Anime is just as soulless and gay as western media you just don't exist in that culture 24/7 so it's not as nauseating to you.

I just personally hate how poorly animated and lazy it all is. Bad animation, endless filler episodes, shit tier writing. This is really how anime has become ascendant, it's just able to churn out more garbage than the west.

People are desperate for alternatives because Western animation studios have completely run out of ideas.

I'm not just talking about the endless sequel/threequel parades, or further ruining good old franchises like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Nuked Fridge Part 2. Or even the live-action remake abominations of Lion King.

When "Lyle Lyle Crocodile", an old-ass kids book and fucking Blues Clues are tapped as sources for full-length movies...your culture has, without any doubt, hit the bottom of the inspiration barrel so hard it left a crater and is scraping off splinters in sheer desperation.

And at that point, anyone who wouldn't be a crowd extra in Idiocracy are going to start checking out the funny-looking Japanese shit. Out of sheer need to find something, anything, else.
 
W*man are using anime for simple simp bucks

Not like in my day where if you wanted to get fujo pussy you had to put up with talks about how Inuyasha is bottoming to Sesshomaru.

Bro those are shows for literal children...

This is the perspective of the anime fan. They aren't going out and trying to find some dope new short movie from a western animation studio to compare to anime.

They just go "No Mother! Bluey is not advanced enough for my taste anymore I only watch Demon x Demon: new era shoji, now! You woudn't get the deep philosophical topics at play!"

This is literally every anime fan.
