If it wasn't huge; studios wouldn't drop millions for their animations; numbers from 4000 people doesn't mean shit.

Yeah this whole article is not only redundant but also the worst source in information

And anime has been huge since the 80s. It's only been getting bigger.

Polygon surveyed more than 4,000 people

That isn't that many people. This is like 0.04% of the people subscribed to the r/anime subreddit. and just 2.5% of the number of visitors of an anime convention in my country.

44% of anime fans — and 58% of Gen Z fans — say they have had a crush on an anime character at some point.

Anime was a mistake and shall be destroyed. I'm creating the AntiAnime movement
