Do you think the anime industry is on the decline?

I've been out of the loop for a while now, but I don't see as much hype surrounding anime as there were a few years ago. Before, you'll see lots of people cling to future season announcements, and lots of them were hyped about paying for online subscriptions.<br><br>This year, even though it has a lot of good shows, there isn't as much hype for new shows outside of reddit. <br><br>I don't see many of my non-anime enthusiast friends talking about the new shows. I don't see people talk about crunchyroll subscriptions either. This hasn't happened since 2013-2017, where even though it was still a niche hobby, people were enthusiastic about it.
