Isekai Exploded on Japanese Sites for Local Otaku, Not Global Viewers

A post asserted isekai anime skips Japanese culture to chase global revenue and warned this risks ending otaku culture. Replies state the format began on Shousetsu ni Narou and similar online writing sites. Accounts note many untranslated light novels, manga, and anime exist for Japanese readers and that the industry does not prioritize Western audiences. One user referenced the AJA Anime Industry Report 2025 on international revenue while others urged preserving anime's distinct Japanese character over conforming to global markets.
