Anime can become one of Japans leading exports on the world-scale, so I hope that he makes the effort to revitalise the anime industry, which in turn, benefits Japan as a whole.

lol, it reminds me of the Kurobas episode where Hyuuga trains by sacrificing his figures
You probably mean devalue or debase the yen. They are going to inflate the yen massively, for "stimulus" and which they hope will also lower it's foreign exchange rate, thought there is no guarantee about that either. I think that's actually bad and will lead to more stagflation |

To make anime and manga profitable enough of an export to save Japan's economy (compared to say, cars), you would have to make downloading a capital crime and enforce it with an army of precogs with license to kill. Then we'll all just have to each spend $4,000 on DVDs to watch all the same shows and read all the same manga we would have downloaded that year. Oh well, at least there's Tsutaya...if you're in Japan. Hah.
The only thing that's going to save Japan is a whole lot of political reforms and waaaay more babies. |

One other thing to note, he's only in his 30's. That is about half the normal age of politicians in Japan, if I recall correctly.
What will save Japan is it's people, they have to decided that it is worth saving in sufficient numbers to begin replacing themselves and the ones that have decided to forgo children. Same as here in the US. It always comes down to the heart of the people. Mark Gosdin |

I doubt it, the fierce anti-piracy download laws introduced this year have already caused Japanese CD sales alone to dramatically plummet. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121109/13423720996/draconian-downloading-law-japan-goes-into-effect-music-sales-drop.shtml In any case, anime won't save Japan. Anime must be kept small and strong instead of being big and saturated like it currently is. |

The only people who hate Shinji are the people that hate themselves. |
