Miyazaki's Call Out of Otakus
jinhong91:
This be a vicious unstable cycle.
I wish there were more thought provoking anime coming out.
More filling I guess. Like comparing candy and rice.
xfreidax:
Aren't studios like Production IG, Bones, Sunrise, Shaft and Madhouse still producing pretty good stuff mostly targeted at a wider audience. Shows that are not all moeblob and ecchi?
It's not nearly as bad as Miyazaki makes it out to be I reckon but he does have a point about the general trend towards otaku anime.
JoonasTo:
He is completely right.
This whole thing is pretty simple too.
Normal people don't spend money on tv shows. Cartoons or not, doesn't matter. Most people won't watch a series twice. Only their fans do. Thus most of the people who see a show, never buy a them. Animation studios get money from selling the shows. TV rights cost a little, sold shows bring in a lot, LOT more. Do the math.
The good shows I like, I never buy. I'm not a crazy fangirl/boy. I have other uses for my money. Thus my kind of series don't make a lot of money.
The shitty shows that otakus like, they ALWAYS buy, more than one copy because of event passes, all different editions, just for keeping in pristine, collectible condition, etc. etc. They're crazy fans. They use their a lot of their money on that. Thus their kind of series makes a lot of money.
It doesn't make sense to make the series that has low profits over the high profit one.
PS. Miyazaki can afford to say this because he does movies. For kids. They sell. VERY well. Just ask disney.
Ask Don Bluth what happens if you try to steer from that concept.

Disagree.He makes stuff for all ages just that he doesn't need blood or sex to sell his stuff.
