Japan possesses a massive, wealthy domestic population. Because Japanese consumers buy physical media (CDs and Blu-rays) and attend live events at high rates, many Japanese entertainment companies historically ignored the global market. They tailored their products strictly to domestic tastes, creating an isolated, highly unique ecosystem—much like the isolated evolution of species on the Galápagos Islands.

Japan fundamentally shaped the global video game industry. Following the North American video game crash of 1983, Japanese companies like Nintendo and Sega revitalized the global market.
The anime industry, despite its global glory, is infamous for its brutal labor practices. Animators are often paid per drawing, earning poverty wages while working 80-hour weeks. The term "anime is made by slaves" is hyperbolic, but not by much. The gap between the massive profits of the franchise and the plight of the individual artist is a persistent cultural contradiction.
