I've been a major fan of anime for decades. Including starting to study Japanese at age 50 (not recommended). I could care less about the game spinoffs, or the vtubers, but I do hope we can get beyond the current plot trend of "living in an imaginary world with my smartphone, where I pretend to be dwarf listening to Irish jigg music". There are so many awesome anime: Heike Monogatari, House of Five Leaves, Angolmois - Genkou Kassenki (depicting the Mongol invasion of Japan in the 1200s). Sadly, anime for addults is not currently a factor in that blossoming industry described in the article.
