...Is this an out-of-season April Fool's joke?

These are exciting times of growth for anime....Where we are now reminds me of the anime industry in 2008.


Taking aside the very "advertorial" nature of this thing, Rob sounds like a complete idiot & jackass with that second line. Yes, he got hired by Crunchyroll in 2008, which would go on to become the monopoly it is today, but while he was getting hired the American anime industry itself was falling apart because of the 00s anime bubble bursting.

So if now reminds him of the anime industry in 2008, that means that he's expecting it all to fall apart at any moment, with a brand new company rising from Crunchyroll's ashes. Utter genius from this guy, I swear.

Rob apparently not content to waste everyone’s time and money on web3 bullshit but also readers here. Well at least this time the money is going to something actually useful rather than to any of the absolute losers he listed in this ad.
