How to treat the phenomenon that Japanese animation meets the audience without moral integrity now?

In fact, I don't advocate it very much. It seems to have lost the origin of animation. I summarize this matter in the following parts.

Former Japanese anime

Because I watched Japanese anime, it was relatively small at that time, and the theme at that time was not as unified as it is now. All kinds of themes and ways are very similar. Then, although the picture quality was not as good as it is now, the plot was better than it is now. Basically, they are all created independently, and nothing caters to the audience. At that time, except for the new animation, it was still very novel, and sometimes the plot we guessed was different from its own. Because the author's brain circuit is different from ours. There will be a surprise anyway.

Japanese animation now

I'm not saying that Japanese animation is not good now, nor that it is going downhill. However, this phenomenon of catering to the audience seems to have lost the reason for creating animation. I used to think that making cartoons is an art in itself, but now it seems that I have lost this feeling. Although the picture is still exquisite, it is too popular. For example, if the audience thinks they like this cartoon, they will change it, and if the response is not enough in the later period, they will not do the next step. Too inclined to make money.

Conclusion: Let me give some examples to illustrate the phenomenon that Japanese animation caters to the audience.

Because otaku likes to watch the harem, or there are more girls, the style of Japanese animation now tends to the harem, or caters to otaku's mood. In addition, Makoto Shinkai's previous painting "The Son of the Weather" was severely criticized because it failed to meet public expectations. They all think that the ego should be sacrificed to save the ego, but the son of Meteorology chose to sacrifice the ego to save the ego, which was criticized miserably. And I think when an author is making his own works, what he wants to express is his own feelings. And if this work is written according to the public's idea, or is it changed, then is this work the author's or the public's?
