    Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Japanese_films#Highest-grossing_Japanese_films_in_Japan

    That’s a whole lot of losers for one small country.

    Of course, that’s just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is… the exact same anime, followed by another anime.

      In Japan not everyone that watches anime is a weeb

      Or are you disputing that they have other forms of entertainment?

        Sure. Not everyone in Western countries went to see Avengers movies. I wouldn’t suggest that the vast numbers of Westerners who did go are all losers just because they could have been listening to Delta Blues instead.

        May I remind you of your original comment:

        Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
