It won't sell therefore it's a waste to even try

Also anon here gets it
While the japanese produce and buy every slop imaginable, that even novels get animated or the nth isekai trash about some kid who gets isekai'ed with his smartphone, is overpowered, has no flaws, and gets the cliche harem gets a second season for some honest to god unknown reason, except that you could argue that it actually sells.
Even then, most of the jap anime/manga market is based on selling merch to obsessed/autistic fans, so the anime/manga is just a means to an end.

This is also a pretty good post.

While eastern manga/anime are pure consumerism that there is always something for everyone and even does good in the west, western comics are all about ideology, politics and pushing the new meme order; or rehashing the same old characters over and over.
You could say that those who make comics in the west, don't even like comics and don't have a shred of professionalism or intellect.

Just seeing the usual retarded replies that try to insult but only come off as butthurt, already should tell you that the average westerner is an absolute faggot who fully injected the identity-politics kool-aid into his brain.

>Miyazaki nailed his critique of these industry types, they don't have real life experiences, all they do is imitate other anime they watched
You should realize that this doesn't apply to weebs only.
Normies are exactly like that, because they truly lack empathy and critical thinking and can't imagine something beyond themselves.
That is also called solipsism; basically the belief that everyone else doesn't really exist.
This is also why most of the most successful and produced anime in the last decades are power fantasies and harem isekais or straight up porn. You can't expect anything else from people like that. They produce content for people like them.
Take korean comics for example; they are either power fantasies about some loser becoming rich, famous and overpowered or power fantasies where one girl has a harem of male models trying to win her over.
What's the rest of fictional works? Porn and sexually stimulating imagery.
But those are also the only things that really sell and are easy to market, because the consumer must consume hence it isn't really 100% the fault of the people making that stuff.
Although Miyazakis movies aren't that deep either but still leagues above generic trash.

You can make up for a lack of real life experience simply by using your brain and with so much information being thrown at you and being available, you don't even need to go outside but

Wrong. You can't make it if you ARE creative.
Normies despise anything they can't label.
They hate it that they have to think about what they're looking at. That's why the most successful e-artists draw the same thing over and over.
>you don’t need to draw well to make it in the industry
Yes
>you just need to have interesting ideas
No.
Staying on animated children's shows topic;
You just need a product that is decent enough, that can be produced fast and relatively cheap with the hope that kids will watch it.
And kids will pretty much watch anything.
And then you turn to merchandise because that's the purpose of 99% of cartoons.
If merch doesn't sell and the overall ratings are low, the show doesn't get another season.
It mostly comes down to mostly luck or the shows writing, airing time etc with these things but;
Appeal isn't creativity. Creativity doesn't (mass)appeal.
Making the nth robot people or person with superpowers or talking animal in a sitcom/slice of life setting hasn't been creative for 50 years.

The only good cartoon show i remember is Samurai Jack.

>but because his toons were apart of their childhoods and gives them nostalgia.
> your art is only worth what people are willing to pay
This.
There is no creativity in making bland fanart and there is no creativity in doing the same work over and over.
Of course, you can't really blame those people for trying to cash in on their past success or current fame. Everything's about money, anyway.
