I don't know how to write this without it becoming a "west bad east good" thread, but I have noticed a bunch of Asian countries + France have basically taken over the animation industry it seems. At least the actual animation part. A lot of the people funding these studios are from the west, but the actual part where you get your hands dirty is being outsourced. It's fucking depressing to witness as a westerner that a lot of the stuff you enjoyed consuming is almost impossible to access if you want to be the one making it. All we do is make shitty beanface cartoons now and ugly adult comedies. Everything we put out seems really homogenized.
