Assuming thats the case here, we only need to figure out what caused what? Moe Anime causing the decline in budget for new shows, or the decline in budget causing more moe anime (easy to produce, secure revenue)? Great, correlation most of the time implies causation.

Moe Anime causing the decline in budget for new shows, or the decline in budget causing more moe anime (easy to produce, secure revenue)?

IE: Dragon ball series, Code geass, Death note are example of animes I have not seen lately in the market. weeaboos need to realize all animes are not intended to make your dick (or pussy) happy. it seems like the lolicons are controlling the market. also perverts who only want fan service. we need more action/drama without fan service.

Choice is good people, it encourages competition. Study ecomony. /sarcasm. Of course, we don't want people having the choice to see different kinds of anime.

I happen to enjoy most anime with the exception of the mecha and horror genre. The moe genre appeals to me as to romantic comedies, harem, ecchi :P, action, adventure, etc. And you can't say that it's all bad. If the bubble bursts, in 5-10 years, it'll rise again. And the first burst has had an influence on people and how they think about such things. I think that most of the anime that rises from this so called "burst" will have many roots from this time.

Just because it's not "moe" doesn't automatically mean it's butt ugly. There are plenty of shows with BOTH admirable characters and quality ideas/story. The problem in moeshit is moe-SHIT. There are too many shows with harem/loli/unrealistic/underdressed characters where the show itself is rehashed, shitty in premise or shallow in concept. Well-rounded quality shows is what this recession needs to make a comeback with. Shut up. Just because it's not "moe" doesn't automatically mean it's butt ugly.

Makoto Shinkai can make some kick-ass environments (I'd go so far to call them some of the best-designed ones I've ever seen in anime), but his stories and character designs are very flat. I wouldn't mind if someone hired him for designs and left the writing to someone who isn't fucking boring. Anon @ 21:25 has it right.

It just depends what you do with everything else. Good to see Sora no Woto is focusing on both cute characters while expanding on background. And if that's not to your taste as satire.

I'm a fan of all forms of Japanese television shows and movies. Meaning I watch animated and live action Japanese media. New and old. There are tons and tons of shows and movies I've watched. And many, many, many more I have yet to watch. So a current decline in a portion of Japanese media barely phases me. It still leaves me with a ton of shows and movies I can watch. It's only the anime fans that have anything to worry about. And even so, if you're running out of new shows and movies to watch, just watch older stuff you haven't gotten around to. Or better yet, branch out into the rest of Japanese television. Yeah ... I'm a fan of all forms of Japanese television shows and movies. Meaning I watch animated and live action Japanese media.

Not to mention any combination of school girls, magic girls, and parodies with a lame excuse for a plot just so they can reuse any old character archetypes and perverted situations.
