There's a flip side to that unfortunately. If the industry ever decides to produce less shows in general, and take longer to make them, it would mean they want to take less risks and triple down exclusively on what they know will sell. You know what that means...
Look at KyoAni and Ghibli, two studios who always take their time with stuff. Or even Ufotable before God Eater. What's the similarity? These are all studios with a very clear and defined studio "look" with a built in fanbase in their properties. Now project that onto the entire industry, and it'll just mean we have a ton less range.
Yeah, that is true. We certainly don't need the anime industry becoming more conservative visually or thematically, so I'm glad there are still people in it willing to fund risks, even if they often don't turn out for whatever reason.
It's not an issue of just changing their minds but rather a fundamental problem with the business model.
Well, the business model can't change unless there are more people willing to spend more money on anime.
I mean, Anno practically begged people recently to show their love for anime by spending money on it and thus keep the industry alive.
