However, removing the human inclination towards superstition, upon which religion is based and which it encourages and exploits to perpetuate itself, is the true challenge to “civilization“, which, itself, has some bases in both. A confusing, complex conundrum, huh?
Yet Chinese money alone made Parasite look small. If Parasite was all that good then it'll have gotten more Chinese money, but it didn't.
How do you know game IP is good if nobody buys it? Just because it's old? That's what the Qing thought too.
Honkai Star Rail revenue $132 million per month in its first month alone. It's even bigger than Genshin Impact.
Video game hegemon doesn't exist but if it did it sure as hell isn't Japan with it's dinosaur games, low revenue and lack of innovation.
If Taiwanese and Hong Kong movies are so good, where are they now?

I'm starting to think that this Witchhunter12 guy is a concern troll, as his username suggests
Now add Honkai.
With Honkai star rail, it’s only going to become even bigger. Face it, Chinese games will eventually become a world wide phenomenon while Japanese game despite how good many of them are will eventually no longer compare because all they do is stay within its safety lane and recycle the same tropes over and over while the Chinese are willing to try something now. Seriously, ever wonder why so many big name Japanese voice actors can be found voicing Chinese games whilst they don’t feature much in current anime, well they can see where the money is and over time, we Chinese are going to be eating pretty damn good and I am looking forward to Honor of kings world whilst to be honest, there isn’t much to look forward to Japanese gaming although I look forward to western games even less given what is happening to overwatch 2
On a more serious note, does anyone get Sleepy vibes here given one persons ability being quite similar in how they manage to derail the thread with statement that have mostly been proven false and that even then they still continue to derail everything without any consideration what so ever
Are you trying to start a witch hunt?
What could you possibly mean, I don’t own a pitchfork…Are you trying to start a witch hunt?
You are probably overthinking this. It more likely that Chinese game publishers are willing to fork out the extra money for veteran VAs while Japanese anime production committees are infamously stingy.
IIRC I read somewhere that climbing the veterancy ladder for a VA in Japan is not necessarily a good thing. Because the mandatory raise in pay may also mean there are less offers being tendered. Not that the pay was good to begin with.
The dogsh*t pay is also why many VAs do part-time works elsewhere and/or take on alternate stage name and do R-18 works (seriously, look up some famous VAs in VNDB and be prepared to have a laugh).

True but really it does say a bit when Japan cannot really shell enough to bring in the big guns for animation as consistently as before but still I don’t see Japanese voice actors being replaced given there niche and appeal but I do see Chinese voice greatly improving to the point where their appeal will broaden to being on a similar level to a Japanese voice actor (I mean from what I saw of recent games, especially honkai impact I see the voice acting quality improve a lot of the past few years since it’s begging). Still this speaks volumes as to how much the Chinese entertainment scene has improved and still have room to greatly improve and expand. This is compared to the stagnation of the Japanese entertainment industry in general that seems to be stagnating as a whole whilst doing little to innovate and really the only selling point these days are their voice actors and past glories attached
