I wasn't a fan of this anime and dropped it, but I get where Akane is coming from with this interview.

I especially agree with this towards the end:

"You know, Japanese manga is really diverse. There are fun and interesting manga that also grapple with societal problems. Whatever the topic, there's a manga for it. That's the strength of manga, I feel. It's been 50 years since the advent of TV anime in Japan, but it still hasn't reached that level of diversity. If we don't diversify, Japanese anime will die."

Though at the same time, also feeling like diversity isn't all that's needed; good writing is needed, too. Hoshiai no Sora brought in some good ideas but the execution and writing left a lot to be desired.

I'm interested in seeing part 2 of the interview to see what he says on the current condition of the anime industry.
