@TornadoOfTerror @Dicer Outsourcing, probably, but I don’t buy the rest. The pay was always shit, japs don’t have original ideas, they always copy each others and the west’s stuff. to great effect, don’t get me wrong, but there’s no denying anime has always been trend focused and redundant. And Isekai hate is wildly overblown, boomer tier whinging, so you can blow that right out of your ass.
