>>3851083>Late night anime is niche you retardThis is when you know someone is backpedaling hard cause he got called out for being a moron.
> Anime is niche even in Japanwas the original statement. And even then its still irrelevant, the same could be said of any industry. MARVEL flicks take 90% of the attention of modern hollywood but it doesn't kill other movies and no one calls these movies niche (maybe within their own genres, not as an industry).
> i-i-its for tourists!Solid reasoning. Thats why Gacha is a fucking disease over their and Japan single handedly pushed CyGames to the top dog in the industry.
> Not too long ago you could walk into an American 711 and buy comic books, too. But they phased that out.Comic book industry basically killed itself with its antics and its sales made a free fall.
Guess what DIDNT die out and is only rising in sales everywhere? Manga and Anime.
If anything this statement solidifies manganime's breakthrough into mainstream. Its not gonna appeal to the most basic bitch and chavs sure, but its known enough, and in Japan its just a matter of fact. Not niche.
> The same ads you talk about will get cleaned up for Olympic Games because even the Japanese know it's otaku filth that only stays up because the anime industry is small but powerful.It will get cleaned up because they know westerners are pussying over it every time, but Japan never stepped on its industry in favour of western retardation, even when the UN tried to shut them down.
As for Otaku filth, once again you are conflating general consumer anime with some degenerate loli tentacle shit as if it's a competition. No one watches obscure french nympho cinema movies either, doesn't make cinema niche.
You're making non-arguments cause you just hate the idea your secret weeb club aint so secret anymore, when the truth is that it never was, the west is just slow on the uptake. Japanese people know EXACTLY what anime is and what it offers.
