>>63767617>anime was once much more mainstream and higher quality before it became the domain of the worst type of otaku panderingmy guy, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the high quality anime of the past was even more otaku-focused than the current isekai slop trend.
It's just that the otaku weren't "slovenly sex-crazed "OOOOOHHH BABY I WANNA FUCK THAT GIRL SO BAD" otaku, they were "sloppy as shit nerds who spend all day screaming, 'I WANT TO SEE EVERY FUCKING DETAIL ON THAT MECHA/CAR/GUN/TECHNOLOGY MOVE IN A FIGHT IF IT FUCKING KILLS THE ANIMATOR TO DO IT(and some tits would be nice, too)'" otaku.
There's a reason no one in Japan knows about Royal Space Force, despite it being exactly what the mainstream should be for
