    Hollywood executives are probably thinking like this: “I heard this whole anime thing is getting popular no? Those are just cartoons but Chinese right? Huh, Japanese? Whatever let’s just give them a few millions from our 10 billion dollars budget and we can milk our done to death stories even more!”

    Honestly that is something I kinda fear. If Hollywood buys out much of the anime industry they could dictate what’s being produced. And I assure you that anything original is going to be rejected because it’s too “risky” and “it doesn’t make sense from a business perspective”.
    Maybe it’s ridiculous but that’s just a fear I have.

        It’s cheap because the employees work for significantly less than they should be making.

          Oh, of course. I’m not saying it’s easy to produce, or that it should be cheap. From a corporate perspective it hardly matters why it’s cheap though.

        Considering how much work needs to be done to produce even a mid anime the difference is staggering.

          Unfortunately, the people working in the animation studios are underpaid and overworked.
