"The animation industry is certainly in a period of prosperity. However, whether or not this situation will continue in the future is not certain. The excitement may continue for another five or six years, but that will be it, and it will fade away.
The same is true for novels and movies, but there is always a rise and fall that accompanies the waves of the times. Because works of art are enjoyed by people with hearts and minds, as the world environment changes, the aspect of culture will also change, and the mentality of people will also change. Therefore, if the current period is the pinnacle, the future will be a dead end."
Well he certainly speaks a downer, but anime is currently in it's peak and I've been saying this for a few years
