In some other world, Japan's prime minister would be laughed out of office. But let us take him seriously -- he foresees a "$200 billion to $300 billion market" for anime. To that end
he's spending $120 million in stimulus money for a "National Comprehensive Centre for Media Art". If we take our top ten media tyrannies, with operations worldwide, their revenues scarcely approach $300 billion. This buffoon thinks he can build TEN PEOPLE WARNERS or EIGHT ESPNCORPS with funny looking characters with big faces, huge eyes, tiny pug noses, and pinch-hole lips. Most likely he will get away with it because government is a synonym for incompetence.
Asō has faced low approval poll numbers almost since his ascension to Japan’s highest post last September.Even an anime site knows better.
