Anime Publishers Reject Western Influence

​Clownfish TV breaks down a major shift happening in the Japanese entertainment industry. Leading figures from companies like Kadokawa, along with directors behind hit series such as Sword Art Online, explain why Japan is increasingly choosing to prioritize domestic creative values over Western political sensitivities. The discussion explores how efforts to cater to global political correctness often result in creative compromises, financial losses, and weaker storytelling.
The speakers argue that anime and manga became global phenomena precisely because of their distinct cultural identity—something Hollywood has struggled to maintain. According to these creators, Western audiences don’t want sanitized or altered content shaped by activist localizers. Instead, they are drawn to authentic, unconventional, and unapologetically Japanese stories. By staying true to a Japan-first creative approach, the industry believes it can continue to thrive and dominate the global entertainment market.
