We had an anime crash. In the 90's. During the Lost Decade.

The entire reason we're flooded with low quality otaku facing garbage is because it's the only stuff that remains profitable during an economic crisis, because the only people spending money on non-essentials like dvds and merchandise are people whose entire identity is centered around that specific type of product consumption, and if the industry doesn't cater to them you go out of business because no one else is buying.
