Part 7/9:
Market saturation: An explosion of anime-like content may eventually dilute the brand, especially if productions lack authenticity or rely heavily on Western storytelling tropes.
Shift in consumer expectations: Fans might struggle to distinguish between authentic Japanese anime and Western attempts, impacting overall perception.
Decline of Tumblr-style cartoons: As serious anime gains ground, lighter, more experimental web-based series like Infinity Train may face cancellations, reflecting a shift in industry priorities towards mainstream, high-production-value anime-style series.
