Meh, maybe Shonen Jump or other big names might enshitify, but I dont see this technology competing with human artists for limited spots.

Well, considering that people choose what is easier, yes… I just saw some fan adaptations of anime made in a few days with the help of AI and they are no different from if they were made by real large studios.
Easier and much lower quality, limited capability, and very high risk of plagiarism. AI is shit, mate.

I almost agree with you, but I completely support your opinion that AI is crap.

If Kadokawa says that, it will end up overexploiting it like the Isekais, as well as the CGI.

it’s not, it’s an ex executive. I surmise he’s no longer there for a very obvious reason.

He was arrested in September 2022 on allegations of bribing an executive related to the Tokyo Olympics in exchange for KADOKAWA receiving preferential sponsorship treatment.
He was later charged by prosecutors and stepped down as chairman of the company on October 4, 2022. He denies the charge. KADOKAWA’s current CEO, Takeshi Natsuno, confirmed as recently as March 2025 that Tsuguhiko is barred from meeting with him and is not involved in the company (Toyo Keizai). Despite Tsuguhiko’s lack of involvement with KADOKAWA, which is active in conventional and short anime while also “actively investing” in AI for production, his words underscore a growing trend.

seems like the guy just wants to hurt kadokawa and the industry at large because he was caught doing something he shouldn’t have been doing.

Well, considering that AI could create anime a year ago, albeit with human editing, yes, they can do it now.

I can already imagine the market being flooded with both adaptations and anime made on the fly, and you look at it all and think, damn, I’ll never watch that much in my life, why the hell are there so many of them, they’re not even all that different from each other, complete crap, so what should I watch and is there any point at all?

This is definitely a time I will 100% gladly gatekeep anime. If gen “AI” is used I will 100% say anyone “working” on it isn’t part of that industry and is nothing but a pathetic loser not worthy of a job in any real anime company.
Similar sentiments to short form anime. Also towards people who watch either.
I’ll stick with what I’ll be calling real anime if that future becomes the new normal.

Anime on demand! Please no there’s already enough trash out there.
I can see how Generative AI can help streamline animation or save man hours for studios that use outsourced animators but this isn’t that, this is just “money, more money”

Welp, looks like the anime industry is dead.
Long live Manga, supreme ruler since ages before our time.
Well, it won’t last long. This horror will reach both manga and light novels.

Man, thank god Miyazaki exists in this world. Fuck this demon tech.
Every time I’m watching a low budget anime with terrible CGI, I think, wow, if only we could add AI into the mix too.
Will exArm get a new season?
