Anime is considered an art form.  I think the problem is that many anime productions are obviously being made by anime otakus.  The medium's purpose is to make money but also to let people have creative expression.


I agree anime is an art form. But if it's going to be done commercially, it should not be surprising to Sato that he has to make what the customer wants in order for it to sell. Conversely, if he sets out to make only what he wants, he should expect it not to sell well.

Blaming the audience for not appreciating your work is a diversion from fixing the actual problem that he's not making what the customers want to purchase.

The medium's purpose is set by who is funding the production. If it was him personally, he would have a valid complaint. But if he's expecting to be paid just to make what he wants...

I know that anime has to be done commercially.  But does Sato have to put underage girls getting undressed to make successful anime?
