Overseas anime market growth continues to outpace domestic market, gap in revenue expected to grow, industry research shows
I think companies will cater more to the western audience and less to the Japanese audience and anime might even lose its identity and spiciness if it goes too far.  |

| Of course the domestic market isn't growing. Everyone in Japan who might be interested in anime is already watching it. |

| I mean isn't it normal when it's Japan vs the whole world? Good news, but yeah. |

| Oh great, that means we'll see dozens more battle shounen. How fun... |

Tropisch said: That doesn't even make sense, cause battle shounen is already extremely popular in Japan as it is. Oh great, that means we'll see dozens more battle shounen. How fun... If anything this means more experimental or different anime being made. Cyberpunk Edgerunners was one that most people enjoyed. Netflix also helped produce shows like Romantic Killer and Pluto And most of the shows CR helped produce are NOT battle shounen. Most I'd say are LN adaptation and sometimes you get some great original anime like Odd Taxi or A Place Further than the Universe. |

| meaning they are gonna start catering to the intl audience more? can't say I'm surprised, but I hope there are at least a few producers that care more about content and creation than making the big bucks |
can't yuck my yum |
| The more the gap grows, the more producers will pander to the international audience instead of the domestic one. That's why pirating outside Japan can be considered a good thing. |
