Around the time Azumaga Daioh's "waifu" meme really took off in the early 2000s, there was a steep increase in waifu moeblob otaku pandering trash being churned out to maximize profits (otakus buy the merch) and a decline in the prioritizing or production of most anything else. What did get made started to more often require more and more waifu moeblob fanservice smeared over it. :pathetic:

Capitalism driving themselves to the ground overexploiting short term profit over long term sustainability as usual.
azumanga daioh is the watchmen of anime
But unlike most modern shows, it's actually watchable...
watchmen is more readable than any comic it inspired. similarly, azumanga daioh is more watchable than basically anything inspired by it.
How it started: :meow-melt:
How it's going: :awooga:
i don't know if azuma-sensei is ashamed of the consequences of his actions, but he should be.
