>>40213>No discussion of 80's or 90's anime.I just gave up on that. Here I'm rewatching Space Battleship Yamato knowing that I hardly have anyone to talk about it and so I look for old japanese anime maganize scans that have commentaries about it.

>>40236>That is a consequence of anime become mainstream as fuck outside Japan. So now you are bound to find a lot of people who only watch whatever Netflix has and treat it as just another show they watch on Netflix. They hardly care about it, mostly watch it because "a lot of people are watching it, it's a must watch" and so hardly have anything to say about it.This is exactly the reason. The big masses aka normies just go for whats popular at the moment and then they move on to the next popular thing after a few years while the original core fanbase stays in their lane and goes back into their secluded space again. The normies are not dedicated at all and just do it as a social ritual while the original fanbase has a lot of dedication and passion for it.
Anime is really a huge part of pop culture now and you really see it in any subculture at the moment. This trend will also slowly fade away like any other trending thing but sometimes it takes a decade.
