That seems rather out of touch? The vast majority of TV broadcast anime series every season are licensed for simulcast by streaming services in North America and that has been the case for several years now. At a casual glance at the TV tab of https://myanimelist.net/anime/season/2022/spring https://myanimelist.net/anime/season/2022/spring , I think at least 2/3 are licensed by western streaming services. There's enough revenue that they can't afford not to care.
- iratewizard 4y agoTo date I've only seen smaller budget, little fish studios churn out woke propaganda that performs poorly. In the past, they were the same small-time studios that produced knock-off Gundam, 3d render shounen, unremarkable isekai anime #59, etc.
- krapp 4y agoI don't think "woke propaganda" is a thing in Japan, so it would surprise me if smaller anime studios (which, presumably, have less margin for taking risks) would be "churning out" anything of the sort, as opposed to whatever was most profitable in the domestic market for the least cost. Can you give examples?

- OmarAssadi 4y agoWoke propaganda? I haven’t seen an absolute ton of anime, but I’ve got nearly 200 items on my list, and I don’t think I’ve watched anything that could qualify. What are you coming across that I’m not?
- thatguy0900 4y agoI assume they are talking about high guardian spice, a recent crunchy roll original that was universally panned.
- presentation 4y agoI live in Japan and one of the most refreshing things about it is that I have never encountered anything that represents even a faint understanding of what "wokeness" is, so I'm curious who these woke studios could possibly be marketing to, if they exist at all.
