i feel like tapping this sign again, but the exchange of ideas between America and Japan cannot be understated. anime exists because of American animation. tropes like anime maids and a great deal of japanese fantasy has its roots in western fantasy. this exchange hasn't stopped, and everyone running eastward for storytelling is going to get increasingly disappointed as time goes on and Japan continues to take ideas and themes from current hollywood.

it starts over here.
