Objectively 50% of the industry's income is coming from international profits which you can look at through the AJA data. I highly doubt most Western fans are buying expensive BDs as the primary way to fund the industry. Most are largely just streaming and the fact companies like Netflix are investing heavily into anime, the fact CR's paid userbase has increased 10x in the last few years and the fact other companies are investing into anime streaming seems like that yeah that is the main factor of growth of international funding, which is the primary driver of growth for the entire industry at large.
Granted I don't even have to bring that up. The fact CR, during the Winter 2023 season was on the production committee for 1/5 of the shows being produced that season means they are directly funding about 20% of shows out there in some seasons. So actually your assertion is pretty flawed.
So this isn't about doubt, it's more about being factually wrong because some of you have issues with CR over culture war nonsense. Objectively if Western funding imploded half of the industry's profits would be gone? You think that wouldn't impact the industry? We have more sequels and shows than ever before and partially it's because streaming has flooded into the industry. If that goes away well it's not going to just be whatever mainstream anime that you like disappearing, it's going to be nicher titles too.
So yeah, I mean just be a leech but stop pretending that streaming money doesn't benefit the industry because objectively it does. I was fine being one for years. May not benefit animators, however, if you want to see a sequel of a show it absolutely contributes.

I was already aware by all the titles by Netflix simply because they always have their freaken big Production logo vid play before the actual Anime starts. CR should really work on their own Production logo vid just to piss off all those who bitch and whine about crunchyroll. lol |

| interesting. out of a current total of 139 series, ovas and TVs, movies produced or co-produced by Crunchyroll, I watched about 5 of the series, and out of them I would only consider Yubisaki to be a favorite. Seems like the vast majority of series i actually like is not produced nor co-produced by Crunchyroll, at least according to MAL. which is to say, Crunchyroll could cease operations and i would quite literally not care. |

DreamingBeats said: It's honestly a fascinating topic to explore, cause CR actually started to produce anime in 2015 when they entered in a partnership with Sumitomo corporation, creating the company Crunchyroll SC Anime Fund, however this partnership ended in 2019, and since then CR began to produce anime as themselves. But there's also the fact that CR and Kadokawa became close partners in 2016, which is why many new Kadokawa anime have CR on the committe (example Shield Hero or COTE).interesting. out of a current total of 139 series, ovas and TVs, movies produced or co-produced by Crunchyroll, I watched about 5 of the series, and out of them I would only consider Yubisaki to be a favorite. Seems like the vast majority of series i actually like is not produced nor co-produced by Crunchyroll, at least according to MAL. which is to say, Crunchyroll could cease operations and i would quite literally not care. But since CR is now owned by Aniplex, this has created a new partnership that wasn't there before, where the two companies will invest together to create shows, usually targeted towards a overseas audience like Solo Leveling for example. Also important to notice that Funimation were already anime producers themselves before they merged with CR. They were even on the committes for shows like Fire Force and Fruits Basket, though MAL doesn't do a good job in keeping track of them as producers. So in reality the amount of anime that CR/Funi has helped produce is way more than that 139 number on MAL... |

| @ColourWheel Well it's less not exist and more anime would be very slimmed down which, of course said people would assume it wouldn't be their favorites to not get adapted or made. The reality is the influx of money in the industry is making it easier to make stuff. And no, it's not just Ex Arm, it's shows like Yuru Camp, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, A Place Further than the Universe, Blue Lock, Pluto, Violet Evergarden. Shows that have gotten a lot of praise. I mean yeah just look at the AJA data https://aja.gr.jp/english/japan-anime-data Overnight 1, 459.2 billion yen of a 2, 928 billion yen industry just disappears. What do these people think would happen lol? Like as noted, by the AJA production fees are rising, if you basically take the industry back to the early 2010s a decent amount of anime would not be getting made. You have Japanese industry experts, who agree the future is through international expansion not domestic, though that year they were surprised by domestic profits on live entertainment (which they state they think they need to find a way to take more of these experiences overseas). Honestly the easier one to refute is the CR is going to destroy anime with "wokeness" (so I just assume don't take my anime titty complaints are what they are concerned about). Like sure Funi had some bad dubs oh boy anime is doomed. The reality is CR was on the production committee for Shield Hero, Fire Force and Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World (yeah the slave isekai that is pretty much is a hentai). They funded that stuff directly lol. Businesses are going to do whatever that can make them money and be legal. It's that simple. There might be a time where anime gets more restricted towards some content however, that says more about the actual audience or even creators. Like again let's forget Netflix funded Devilman Crybaby, and it was a Japanese critic that came out and said that it was too Western because it was edgy/arthouse. We get plenty of "controversial works" adapted now more than ever see Jobless, Ubel Blatt is getting adapted etc. Frankly the increase of streaming, partially pushed by Western companies like Netflix have allowed for less censorship. Stuff like Edgerunners or Crybaby couldn't air on Japanese networks. @DreamingBeats Edit: Sorry must have mixed you up with someone else. |
BilboBaggins365Apr 15, 5:34 PM
| Like 75% of it at least. I did watch a decent portion of anime on Netflix early on before they increased their prices and forced their asinine single-household policy. I have no problems with subscribing to a streaming service if they have a well-sized library and convenience, but no streaming service has proven they can beat the pirating sites in that regard and so I will stay on the high seas until by some miracle they see reason. |

| Depends on how you look at it. I pay for CR, yet I don't watch anything there. I mostly download instead, and most of those are actually rips from CR. So technically I have paid for the right to watch that exact version of the episodes even if I "pirated" the actual files. |

If I make 5x less than an average american/japanese person and I have to pay the same amount as them for digital entertainment, I feel 100% morally and ethnically justified in pirating that shiet. |
| I guess it's almost 90%. I watched some anime movies like Howl's Moving Castle, Suzume, The First Slam Dunk, The Boy and the Heron in theaters and most of World Masterpiece Theater series on TV during my childhood and teanage years. (It still feels so great seeing an old anime on my modern TV.) |

Policy changes in Japan will even likely eventually effect fictional pornographic depictions of minors, as time goes by too. Though modern Hentai is not something I tend to keep track of. Fans just get really triggered when degeneracy in Anime is being watered down needing to throw the blame somewhere and an easy buzz word to cling to is "wokeness". When the reality is things just change over time, even in Japan. The way I see it is Users who recklessly throw around the word "woke" as a display of grievance is kind a like those who bitch and whine about things wishing it was still the 1950s just with modern technology. |

| @ColourWheel My point is it's not being watered down lol. Like again the ecchi out there frankly is more explicit than some ecchi in an age where Western influence was minimal. Old school ecchi, like Outlanders vs recent stuff like Interspecies Reviewers or Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World (which is on par with 90s hentai like Fencer Minerva, again CR funded that lol). Still I mean yeah, the one point that is actually true is that Western fans have a limited influence of what kinds of works actually do get made. At the end of the day, most anime are adaptions of LNs and manga and I don't think that will change due to the risk of making an original anime. I doubt international audiences will ever supplant Japanese audiences in that industry, like they have slowly started to do with anime. So these people really need to calm down. JP fans, and their opinions will still be the ones that surface. The industry is just going to adapt things they assume both will enjoy, while still having many niche anime that only do well in Japan too. I mean that is the current state with the industry getting 50% of its financing from outside of Japan. Regardless, a lot of these kinds of people just assume that every challenge to fanservice in anime is coming from some "woke" individual. There are plenty of people who are incredibly left wing that would stand with them on plenty of issues, there are a lot of "right wing politicians" that think anime/manga is satanic and perverted and it should be banned. That said at the end of the day the amount of power Western fans have over the creation of new works in Japan is limited. Though again, for all the people crying respect Japan they treat fans over there like a monolith. There are plenty of people who despise otaku culture, hate its sexualization etc. It's just cringy to argue some salary woman mom, within the country, would depict her culture as the guys who make slave harem porn lol. Personally I like my sexualized anime and manga. I like my share of degeneracy. I know that if things sell it will get made. If said people really care they should be directly supporting Western localizations of works like that, which again aren't censored (you can buy stuff like Reviewers' BD legally and uncensored lol) if they really are concerned instead of pirating it. |
BilboBaggins365Apr 16, 11:54 AM
| 100%. That doesn't mean I don't pay for anime -it just means that every show I've watched (or at least to my recollection) I have watched at least once without paying. I do purchase if I enjoy it enough. Manga is a different story, most of the manga on my list is owned. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| 100%. I own DVD's but I've also watched them through youtube/torrented all of them before buying. |
| Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes...just be an illusion... |
| Most of it tbh. At least 70%. Mostly used illegal streaming sites and in my early days I got .avi files from friends and strangers I traded with at cons. |

@ColourWheel To be fair it has nothing to do with feeling "entitlement to media entertainment" it has to do with the fact that it you have the choice between paying for a streaming service or using a piracy site/download for free most people will choose the latter. Especially with how easy and risk free it is. You call that being a "beta" and yet your the one upset that people are getting the same product your paying for free.

I believe I was simply straight up answering the question the OP was asking. Not even directing my post at you. If you don't like my opinions, that's your problem not mine. Seems to me, mentioning "beta" really triggered you, why else would you waste your time to even reply over something so petty?
Also, you make it out as if there is one choice or another completely ignoring the simple fact Users can completely refrain from resorting to illegally consuming Anime all together. The choices you point out is completely how an entitled person would think, it's totally about a culture of entitlement. Too many Fans of this medium feel simply entitled to anything this medium has to offer despite it's legal availability and/or if they can afford to consume it or not, especially when it's not being legally offered for free to begin with. If that's not an entitled mentality to you then I suggest you go pick up a book on Sociology at the least and read it. Maybe that will help you understand the thoughts and disciplines that define it in this nature. Plus, make no mistake Piracy is illegal.
If I was to ever employ anyone to work for me in the near future, I would never hire someone who would publicly admit they resort to illegal piracy. Even acquaintance I know I tend to be careful around that I know resort to illegal piracy because anyone who is so causal about it will likely even resort to theft as long as they think they can get away with it. Because that's really the psychology behind those who commonly illegally pirate media entertainment. Too many people simply resort to illegal piracy because they don't think they can ever face any any type of consequences for their behavior. If illegal piracy suddenly became an illegal crime punishable by death, I could see people quickly start to rethink about this "beta" habit. lol

ColourWheel said: I'm not allowed to respond if it wasn't directed at me? This is a forums site, you should know how it works. Not even directing my post at you. ColourWheel said: I was just responding to what you said what lol If you don't like my opinions, that's your problem not mine. ColourWheel said: No I just think using Andrew Tate like language to describe people who pirate anime is really silly, and you did genuinely seem upset considering the fact you did used the word "beta."Seems to me, mentioning "beta" really triggered you, why else would you waste your time to even reply over something so petty? ColourWheel said: People can decide to not pirate anime. I never said they couldn't. For me personally all of the anime I watch is legally done except for very obscure stuff that you can't find any other way. Also, you make it out as if there is one choice or another completely ignoring the simple fact Users can completely refrain from resorting to illegally consuming Anime all together. ColourWheel said: This has nothing to do with entitlement. Your just making excuses to get made at people for pirating anime for some reason. The choices you point out is completely how an entitled person would think, it's totally about a culture of entitlement. Too many Fans of this medium feel simply entitled to anything this medium has to offer despite it's legal availability and/or if they can afford to consume it or not, especially when it's not being legally offered for free to begin with. ColourWheel said: Yes, if a certain action was punishable by death people would do said action less, your not making a good point here.If illegal piracy suddenly became an illegal crime punishable by death, I could see people quickly start to rethink about this "beta" habit. lol |
