I know attorneys, doctors, accountants who post anime related stuff all the time. No one cares if you watch anime like no one cares if you watch breaking bad.

The Jujutsu Kaisen film that came out last year made $189 million at the box office making it the 6th highest grossing animated film of all time. In the US, it is the fourth highest grossing anime film of all time. Even further, the Demon Slayer film which came out in 2021 is the second highest grossing anime film in the US of all time, and the highest grossing anime film of all time period worldwide with $454 million at the worldwide box office. Anime is quite literally making more money now than it ever has. Edited July 4, 2022 by Mr. Mendes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyHero and DemonSlayer are Worldwide Phenomenon. it's not just kids, they aren't buying merchandise or movie tickets these series are record breaking and selling as well as one piece.

Venice B Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 3 hours ago, ProudLBS said: everything seemed bigger back then cause everyone watched the same shows Exactly this. I don't think the interest for anime is getting smaller but back in the day we who lived in non asian countries didn't have much options other than the ones they showed on tv. Now, with the internet and streaming, people have access to all sorts of anime from the most successful ones to the smaller ones and because of that we don't have a "huge" anime like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon or Digimon anymore. And that's amazing because now we can appreciate all sorts of animes instead of only having that shonen nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I'm not following any new shows these days but I see One Piece, Naruto, and even Sailor Moon merch plastered at so many shops...even more so than back in their "peaks" when I followed them.

The amount of money flowing in anime comic cons and merchandise flying everywhere begs to differ. The niche audience for anime has a LOT of money to spend and truth be told they never cared about how society perceives them. OT: No. it’s super profitable considering it’s relatively cheap to make and sells like candy, it even promotes itself via the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all must be children or something, because saying you watched anime back in the 2000's was basically branding yourself with a scarlet letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
