>>4362610Crunchyroll and Netflix are indirectly influencing the direction of anime by slowly making anime more profitable in the West, anime will become another Americanized medium when the Japanese realize they can pander to burgers. We'll see more shitty live-action adaptions, more garbage like Neo-Yokio where Westerners have their head up their ass and want to collaborate with Japan to make some dumb ironic anime, or third-rate ripoffs of classic seinen anime.
You're supporting the anime industry more by not giving money to Netflix or Crunchyroll. Either pirate your anime or learn Japanese and buy directly from Japan desu. Most people pirate their anime but show their support by buying merchandise like figurines, calendars and posters desu.
