After attempts at Lord of the Rings and Star Wars anime, one producer is "pissed off" by Hollywood requesting everything be turned into an anime: "There are too many works to check out"

  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.

    I could easily see it happening, especially with how comparatively cheap anime is to produce.

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

  I welcome folks to read up on soft power, because this is the goal of animéfication. Moon made a whole video about it, and why Japan has the highest debt of a first world nation.
