>>7329Yes really. Most anime are literally commercials for other media, and the rest is heavily merchandised.
Not saying anime's bad by the way. It's strength is in how commercial it is. Over the years artists have slowly developed a style that is as scientifically eye-catching and enjoyable to look at as possible so they could slap their characters on as many different things as possible.
But it is commercial though, and you can't deny it.
