I don't know how it is in Japan but in the US there's just too many competing services vying for our time

Hulu
Netflix
Amazon
Crunchy

and probably a ton more I'm not aware of

then they are dividing up a lot of these anime into paywalls that would normally just broadcast like any other show on Japanese TV (uncensored ecchi shows have paywall I think)

with all that and also anime will have a hard time getting to a wider audience and especially in the west where people turn their noses up at anything that isn't shounen friends as "weeb trash"


Yeah, we're in a real bad place.

Competition is good, but the biggest companies know they're big so they're keeping up their poor consumer policies.
