/jp/ - Otaku Culture

There's really not very much to say that hasn't been said before. Most of what's in his post was said in the last A@D thread.

And notion that things the same as ever is also not true. Gacha has taken huge chunks out of both anime and VNs, the two classic mainstays of otaku culture. On the VN side, classic developers have been imploding one after the other; on the anime side, the size of the Japanese anime market has actually been shrinking year on year every year since 2014 (and is only doing okay because foreign investment is plugging the gap.) Consider also that in 2017, FGO alone made 982 hundred-million yen, meaning that FGO, literally by itself, is nearly as much as 10% of the entire domestic Japanese animation market. Otaku only have so much money to throw around and if they're pissing it into mobage they're not spending it elsewhere.

As for /jp/ itself, it's history is a buried garbage fire that is better off left alone.
