Why do many iconic Japanese media never or almost never have anime?

@RobertBobert I still think devil may cry 2025 series should be aprooved on mal considering that one, there was one episode director Min-sun Kim worked on a lot of hunter x hunter 2011 as episode director https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_%C3%97_Hunter_(2011_TV_series), also studio mir has produced lookism series that was based on webtoon yet this adaptation got aprooved as anime on mal https://myanimelist.net/anime/53149/Oemojisangjuui . The very same studio that is currently working on the adaptation based on Japanese video game, devil may cry.

@jacobPOL I think the difference here is between bringing in Korean and generally non-Japanese studios for Japanese shows and shows that are completely non-Japanese shows. Especially when we're not really talking about anime, but anime-inspired shows. At the same time, we have Western shows made by Japanese people, like the recent Lord of the Rings movie, which was essentially a Japanese-American collaboration. I think you can easily feel the difference between the Netflix series and the Warner movie. The latter, out of context, almost completely looks like anime.

@giantpudding Sorry, it's not my style to feed trolls who ask deliberately absurd questions just to catch me at my word when I obviously refuse to answer. Until you tell me who is positioning ORIGINAL Netflix shows instead of Netflix themselves, I will ignore any attempts you make to bait me.

@jacobPOL In terms of pure animators, it is subjectively a Korean animated show. But the showrunners, producer, and production are American. It is an actual American show that collaborates with Korean animators to get an anime-like look. Whereas the creators of the movie I mentioned worked directly with Japanese animators from MAPPA.

High expectations for one thing. Only unusual source Ive seen is a stageplay turned anime. Also not everyone into one thing would be into the other. There are those who game and dont watch anime for example.
