@Ciuvaz Apparently it's a good thing, Cause even in my country PPL used to call it childish and stuff, I think it was good that way but now it's completely ruined by some weirdos here. My feed is filled with weird anime shitposts
| @Feitan_exe not sure what made your country people change their minds, but whatever it was, it's not gonna happen here. At least, I can't imagine it happening. Feitan_exe said: My friend used to make fun of anime and stuff before and now the same dude is watching anime LOL! What a coincidence. I had a friend like that too. The only difference is, that that "friend" of mine, never changed his mind and still thinks that it's all childish, and that I am a kid too, for watching it. In quotations cuz we're no longer friends obv. |
| It's good and bad at the same time. Good since it increases Anime quantity and you can watch more Anime besides a lot of fanart either NSFW and SFW. It already replaced Western Animation in terms of popularity and fanbase (I also hate Western Animation so I'm glad) Bad since some bad people -thanks to anime increased popularity- want to cancel, censor and harass Anime and Anime fans. Also add extremely racist comments towards Japanese people. At least these people are rightfully gatekeep from the entire fandom and are not classified as Anime fans. Such people tend to be woke people (known as moralists, antis and racists) and they are a major threat to Anime. Unlike other media, Anime won't fall into wokeism no matter what they do since normal people watch Anime, we're already see how other media fell so no way we're going to allow to do the same with Anime. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Who the fuck cares. If more people are enjoying it, isn't that a good thing |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| Sure, we are getting more anime targeted for general audiences, but with the current state of things, I don't see certain genres dying out anytime soon. Just because battle shounen and isekai get a lot of eyeballs doesn't mean that slice of life dramas are in danger of becoming extinct. SimplyBrazen said: will it keep getting increasingly more popular until it solidifies its position in mainstream media? As long as mainstream Western media keeps pandering to a certain vocal minority on social media, to a "modern audience" that barely shows up, anime is likely to solidify itself into the mainstream. |
| Certain titles are now mainstream atleast. |

| Anime is now mainstream mostly thanks to streaming platforms role in boosting anime’s popularity worldwide. Services like Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Funimation have made it easier for fans to access a wide variety of anime, often with subtitles and dubs in multiple languages. But it's still the pirated sites that have opened up anime to a broader audience, including those who might not have discovered it otherwise. Anime’s growing popularity has indeed brought both positive and negative impacts to the medium. On the positive side, the increased global interest has led to more anime being produced.. This has allowed for more manga and novels adaptations.. Mainstream status Also helping in making anime more accessible to different regions .. The influx of new fans are always welcomed and it has also driven innovation and creativity, as studios strive to cater to varied tastes and preferences.. However, the downsides are The focus on appealing to newer and more casual fans has lead to a saturation of certain genres, like isekai and game adaptations, which doesn't appeal to long-time fans like myself. But I understand the Additional pressure studios face to produce more content quickly which sometimes result in lower quality animation and synthetic storytelling.. But I'm enjoying anime’s rise in popularity! The mainstream attention has certainly brought more financial resources and outside talent into the industry, leading to some truly amazing productions. Plus, it’s always fun to see more people discovering and appreciating the anime I love... Now I wish there was more people on anime discussions on Mal.. As for the future, I see that anime’s popularity shows no signs of waning. Animes ability to transcend cultural boundaries and connect with a global fans will continue to grow and solidify its position in mainstream media,if it wasn't already.. The diverse range of genres and the storytelling techniques that anime offers will keep it relevant and appealing to both new and long-time fans. |

@billybub The number of new anime is consistently higher each decade. The anime hype didn't just start out of nowhere, it gradually increased over decades, and everything after the 2010's proves that. I'm just saying that number will continue to increase and is currently at its all-time height.
| @SimplyBrazen You seem to think anime was aimed at hardcore fans to begin with, which would be a false assumption. Anime was always mainstream, it's just even more popular now. |
| It isn't too mainstream. Society wants you to study and then get a soul-crushing job and then die and none of those include watching anime as an adult. |

| Yeah hopefully anime declines in popularity so the medium can just implode. We need to strip away half of the industry's profits, can't let those dirty non Japanese fans influence my medium lol. |
| It's definitely mainstream but many anime fans are still staunch gatekeepers so it's pretty subjective on how mainstream it is |
 |
| As long as anime doesn't turn to shit I'll be fine. I enjoy how much manga is being made too. |
| "When clouds appear, wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall, the winter is at hand; When the sun sets, who doth not look for night? Untimely storms make men expect a dearth." William Shakespeare |
| It does not matter if anime is mainstream or not because most of it isn't any good (to begin with). |
| Yes, I am unable to enjoy a product if someone I don't like is watching the same product. No, this does not make me fragile. |
 |
| Who said anime is even mainstream to begin with? |
| Nah I think anime is fine where it's at. |
 |
| Globally yeah, local no. I mean, I know only one friend who watches anime. And I don't know anyone who is paying for anime & manga, or buying any merchandise. |
