It wasn’t common knowledge?
I’m just surprised people aren’t hiring western writers or artists to work in Japan or Korea for this job…
Anime Industry Report shows overseas anime market is bigger than Japanese one, but is this a cultural tipping point?

Shocker. You mean to say that the market with more people is bigger?
This will stay the same it always goes with Japanese companies. They make products exclusively for the Japanese market, and any sales they get outside of Japan are just a financial bonus. If something performs really well in Japan but badly everywhere elsez they keep making it and just don’t distribute globally. If something performs really well globally but badly in Japan? Cancelled.

Haha, maybe Korea has an edge over the Japanese market on at least this part
