An end to sexualization of underage characters, to start with.

No more Isekai slavery apologia nonsense. No more product placements. Labor hours actually enforced on the industry as a whole.

Some things would remain the same because of Japanese culture and others wouldn't need to change, but there would be much less sexualization and imperialism. There would also be much more open about their left-wing politics.

I anticipate a similar trend as seen in movies and series. Comparing films from the USSR to those in the US during that period highlights differences. Currently, Russia's film industry produces subpar content. The prevalent sexualized aspect in recent anime may diminish, moving away from cash-driven productions exemplified by the 20th isekai where a 15-year-old protagonist battles a demon king with his harem. Nevertheless, there are watchable isekai anime, and some are commendable

Animes will persist, free from capitalist constraints. I enjoy watching anime as a great escape mechanism. However, at times, I notice that authors feel compelled to include women with large breasts, possibly for better sales, though not always.

The sexualisation of minors is terrible. Years ago, when I was 14/15 years old, I could watch something like that. You're 14, you're going through puberty and you're also (doesn't apply to everyone) probably horny a lot of the time. I could identify with the MC back then, a guy with magic fighting demons with his female mates who all have big boobs. If a 14 year old tells me that he or she likes anime like that, I don't think it's creepy. But...

But now it's kind of incomprehensible to me how adult people can watch some things. Some of it you can ignore, but often it's not about the story, it's more like half hentai. Back then I didn't watch these anime where there were literally children who were of course 7000 year old elves and totally sexualised. Only later, when I was an adult, than I realised that the target audience for some anime is neckbeards and people who like to watch the sexual abuse of minors.

I firmly believe that capitalism is responsible for the current dark sides of anime and the production of low-quality content. However, consider how the USSR elevated cultural standards with films. I am confident that a "Soviet Republic of Japan" would similarly enhance the cultural value of anime.

In that sense, anime will have a wonderful future under the dictatorship of the proletariat and much later under communism, that's my guess.

We might finally get anime that critiques oppression but proposes more than just getting rid of the one bad guy running the show (or not even that in many cases)

Anime is 95% garbage, 5% good stuff just like most media out there. Without a profit motive, garbage media will wither away and we would see an increase in the quality of all kinds of media and art out there.

My biggest gripe about anime is that it would always bend over to fan service and sexualize the fuck out of any female characters within it. This is of course to gain more money from creepy, horny men, so making anime an art form with no financial incentives as opposed to the profit seeking industry it is would quell a lot of this sexualization which I just find annoying, and which harm women in the long run.

It'll definitely be produced more slowly than it is now, crunch needs to die

Better shit instead of the overdone hero’s journey bullshit

I'll put it like this: There's a reason Japanese people all read manga and consider it normal, whereas anime is regarded for creepy weirdos. Manga has a lower barrier of entry and has circles of enthusiasts making whatever they like. Manga has much more varied themes than most popular anime, there's a lot more creativity going on, and overall you'll find more meaningful themes.

Anime since the mid 90s has mostly been a commercial vehicle to slap branding on pachislot machines and sell figurines. It's all profit now. Not to say it's all been bad. I love Tatami Galaxy. The 2017 Kino's Journey is lovely. I'm into Girls' Last Tour too. But like other people have said here there's so much incentive to sexualize a female character and sell toys based on her. That's where the money is made (and $80 blu-rays).

I remember a statistic saying something like half of the anime ever made has been in the past 10 years. There's so much money flowing into it that getting a show that feels like a genuine artistic expression feels rarer. Also I'd hope that in a more equal society there would be less of the plots like "horny, lonely, nondescript teenage boy has his every wish fulfilled and girls throw themselves at his feet" because that's such a symptom of an unfulfilled alienated people

I also wanna say there's a lot of donghua these days (Chinese animation done in a Japanese style) and a lot of it's pretty good

It's an animation style more or less. So, it'll be subject to the same cultural shifts as other media

Hopefully animes with scenes which need to be removed/censored will no longer have that content(i.e sexual content, treatment of female characters etc) I didn't even know it was so prevalent until few years ago since here that stuff is cut off(violence and cursing etc is not touched thankfully, just sexual content is cut off) and I found out about it on the internet.

So hopefully some of the animes will be erased from existence, good ones with these flaws will have scenes removed and there will be a lot of animes based on revolutionary anti-imperialism etc.

I’d assume they would come out slower but higher quality in both animation and story. While anime does have impressive animation already, the working conditions to pump out content is abysmal (also you can have amazing animation without all the shading and highlights and intricate patterns). Also while some anime start off strong they tend to fall apart nearing the end of a season (wonder egg priority, for example). With extra time and a more caring workplace the stories would be better managed, maybe some anime would actually end rather than forcefully extending beyond their expiration date.

Rather than being freelancers or employees, animators under communism might learn and work in a unified academy system where they are adopted by famous directors and screenwriters, and gain more independence in their work as they develop their own artistic character. The most experienced staff would take full artistic responsibility for new anime they want to produce, but be aided by outside communist party members who free them of any organisational or managerial work that might come up, as well as by guaranteed rights such as local (or even inhouse) accommodation, food, and childcare.

This centralised method of production could guarantee a seasonal lineup that is both balanced and popular, and provide a way to defuse and clear out animators' schedules. Instead of the current standard of 80 (!) new shows and movies, there would be less than a dozen flagship projects coming out each season, supplemented by short-form expos, themed anthologies, as well as commissions by other public entities. This would massively reduce the menial work to which animators are currently subjected, and open up time they can use to rest, enjoy leisure, study, become accustomed to new technology, and develop their own style.

The budget for anime would no longer be obtained by the sale of industrially produced merchandise, but by grants; and instead of being put out on one of the current plethora of private providers, all anime (as well as all other video content) would be hosted on a central, publicly-owned platform that would be optimised for stability, compatibility, accessibility, and privacy - instead of profitability - and via which the public could vote on screenwriters' ideas for upcoming anime.

I really don't know enough about the Ostanian political climate to comment. I assume there will be less horny incest brothers, at least.
