Will people stop saying anime is dying now?

It is. Because people who work on it are paid slave wages while people who invest in it get all the money. People who want to work on anime are disappearing. People WITH SKILLS are disappearing. People are not getting trained to get those skills... |

Feels like one has to misread or misinterpret the data to not realize how anime is on a decline/dying.
Look at the numbers when it comes to revenue. There may be more studios now*, but a slight more than half of them are not doing well financially. And Nemu Asahi's point still stands. We're not even sure if there are necessarily more animators; but we do know animation is out-sourced at an astonishing rate. Hard to say if it's more than past decades, but it seems it. I can't recall ever hearing about debacles like the recent one where they couldn't even keep track of who out-sourced to who. Besides the revenue of studios and the way animators are being very vocal about their treatment still, wasn't it just during this past AX where someone from the industry talked about merchandising being down? Pretty sure the numbers have reflected that too. There's an over-saturation of low budget anime, workers aren't being treated well, and merchandising is on a bad curve. Those aren't good signs for the industry. And pretending it's going well because greedy people at the top are making enough money to fill their pockets isn't helping anyone, or the industry at large. |

Reminds us of the mom-and-pop stores where they survive from project to project

This is confusing. If 93 are <5, then <50 must be greater than 93 since <50 includes <5. Yet <50 is reported as 60. This should instead read (and I paraphrase): 95 with five or fewer, 98 with six to 19, 60 with 20 to 49, 38 with 50 to 99, and 28 with 100 or more. |
