Some overseas fans push anime to fit Western norms, but creators reject this. Anime is made for Japan 1st, & that creative freedom, praised by Crunchyroll leaders, is what gives it authenticity & global appeal.

Anime succeeds globally by staying culturally specific. Its unapologetic Japanese identity makes it distinctive and engaging, unlike Hollywood’s bland, globalized storytelling, audiences adapt because the differences are the appeal.

I'm excited for the Zelda movie, even with unknowns like Link speaking or story choices. After nearly 40 years of trust, innovation, and magic, the series feels ready to bring Hyrule to the big screen in 2027.
