I know I kown, people say a lot of this, anime is in Netflix, Ghibli classics are in netflix etc.
But let e explain why anime still being a subculture, "normies not research"!!!!!
I'm current seeing konosuba(I know is mainstream) becouse Aqua is the star in my pixiv feed, but I found more about the serie, i found the ovas, the manga, the spinoff and the novel, I really want to consume all of this, normies just stay in Streaming, we anime fans love research that is what make un true anime fans!!!!

Sometimes I do get the impression that streaming is just background noise for most. You see stuff like youtube videos or top-something sites giving the most basic facts within a story as if it was big trivia and revelation, and you can't help but notice most people there just generally read about the work, which is crazy since sometimes it would be a 12-episode series or a 90 minutes movie, or a 200-page manga (that is 90%+ drawing). And I always wonder why apparently every month there is a "record-breaking-most-watch-ever"-whatever on Netflix or something, but they don't get sequels or new season for years. If it's that watched, why aren't they making more? People just generally acquaint themselves with novelty enough to feel they are not missing out, the fact that some of it is anime is just detail.

If you were alive and cognisant pre-00s, you wouldn't say this.
