>>8018064It's the natural evilution of anime, as the audience got more depraved.
So instead of anime getting more gross out with gore and violence, like the market was heading in the 80s and early 90s, it instead skewed toward pedoshit in the late 00s.
To note, anime's popularity in the west began a shift in focus toward safer, but more drama story driven anime in the later 90s to mid-00s. The anime/manga market collapsing in the US led to Japan turning inward on what to produce and they started focusing on moe-shit because that's what's sold in Japan.
So properly aged looking girls can no longer sell to this audience.
Will we get a better more accurate looking Lum?
