Honestly, I consider the Japanese ecosystem to be very healthy. You have low risk webnovels, turn them into higher risk novels, higher risk manga, higher risk anime, and finally highest risk movies and video games. In this way, new blood is always entering the ecosystem, compared to the stagnant Western ecosystem which lacks a low and medium tier to test risks.

This is kind of shared across most media types now produced by corporations. An extreme aversion to “risk taking” whichreally translates to an extreme aversion to making up their own original shit.

And you don’t seem to understand, A shame you seemed an honest man
