Anime/manga as a cultural phenomenom

>>160569654
For me, lately it has become a masturbation fuel, the art is pretty nice, the voice acting is lewd and the hentai manga is just too dirty, lame and awesome at the same time that makes my dick go rock hard everytime but of course it wasn't like this before so maybe is just the my age and hormones and other things.

The Japanese have hit a gold mine by doing research and putting it into animated products and illustrations but even them don't even know why the fuck it is so popular right now, "it just sells" would be the short answer but why the fuck it sells and why is it so addictive? even the comic fags are copying some anime style drawings and mixing them with theirs because it is better that way but i don't get why.

So, to finish this wall of text i would like to say again, the Japanese have hit a gold mine and no one knows what the fuck is happening, if you have some kind of answer to this please post it here because i spent many years looking for something concrete but i accepted defeat today, yes i lost, i don't know why the fuck i got charmed so much with anime and manga but i like it and i don't see it changing in the next 100 years until im dead, more so with the coming technology of virtual reality and various others things.

I had to make two posts because it was too long, sorry.

I'm not reading all that.

it caters to the guys without a girlfriend market which is pretty big right now

but that doesn't apply to people that only watch "serious" anime or that kind of thing, your answer would be accurate if anime was only moe girls doing cute and lewd things.

>people that only watch "serious" anime
very small minority
it's mostly moeshit with some shounenshit on the side

>very small minority
they are still charmed by it and some of them eventually become moe lovers or keep digging into the same genre and find more and more shit

It cathers to a certain demographic of outcast losers that are very prevalent in the overly competitive society that we have today. Japan is a clearly repressed society sexually and emotionally, which gets reflected in their animation either throught the themes they treat or how over the top everything is (aka catharsis through art).

So are you a loser too?

>Japan is a clearly repressed society sexually and emotionally, which gets reflected
So all outsiders are turning into nip neets?
