‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle’: Crunchyroll Bosses Want Oscar Voters to Consider the ‘Beautiful Art Form’ of Anime

I'm loving how Crunchyroll is trying to take anime to the Oscars! 🏆 It's about time we recognize the art form for what it is – a beautiful, unique storytelling experience that brings people together. But let's be real, this isn't just about anime fans; it's also about politics and representation.

Think about it: when was the last time an anime film got even a sniff at Oscar recognition? It's been a long-standing issue of underrepresentation in Hollywood. And now Crunchyroll is leading the charge to change that. By highlighting Japanese voice actors, they're not just promoting anime but also advocating for greater diversity and inclusion in the film industry.

It's like they say – representation matters! And this is where things get interesting: if anime can compete with Western films on the same level, what does that say about our priorities as a society? Are we valuing artistry and storytelling over traditional Hollywood norms?

One thing's for sure, Crunchyroll's approach is authentic and inclusive. They're not just trying to push their product; they're engaging with the community and building relationships. That's what politics is all about – listening, collaborating, and finding common ground.

So here's my prediction: if anime gets Oscar recognition soon, it'll be a game-changer for representation in Hollywood. And who knows? Maybe this will inspire more studios to take risks and innovate. One can only imagine the impact that could have on the film industry as a whole! 🤯
 
I'm not sure about all this fuss around Crunchyroll trying to get anime into the Oscars 🤔. I mean, they're already doing some awesome stuff, like bringing anime fans together and making it accessible for newbies. But, is it really necessary to try to make anime "Oscar-worthy" just because of one successful film? 🎥 Don't get me wrong, "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" was lit 🔥, but let's not put all our eggs in one basket, right? I'd rather see them focus on creating more great content that resonates with their audience, instead of trying to fit into a specific category. Plus, what about the risk of it feeling like they're just doing it for prestige or validation? 🤷‍♂️
