What is he trying to say? How can something be weird and unique but also consumed by millions of people as a popular product?

If he thinks riding a dragon in modern Tokyo to fight a big naked statue is weird and unique, he’s probably sad that the world has moved on from holding up sporks and going “lol random XD!”

The markets can’t sell Weird™ to the masses. Now there’s no “weird” people making super high budget art. Terrible!
