Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:

That's a whole lot of losers for one small country.

Of course, that's just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is... the exact same anime, followed by another anime.

In Japan not everyone that watches anime is a weeb

Or are you disputing that they have other forms of entertainment?

Sure. Not everyone in Western countries went to see Avengers movies. I wouldn't suggest that the vast numbers of Westerners who did go are all losers just because they could have been listening to Delta Blues instead.

May I remind you of your original comment:

Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity

I didn’t make that comment, I think you’re in the wrong thread
