The manga and anime industry is actualy important and they are firmly against it. I don't think Nintendo makes any difference at all in the current stage, maybe in the future. AI fan works are vastly unappealing and several Japanese fan sites already segregated AI works. Making purely AI slop gets view but very little real engagement and sales.

The real problem is China is arguably already the biggest anime related consumer and Mihoyo(the biggest CN anime games maker) is already incorporating AI sadly. Its frustrating because I had a lot of hope for them(Genshin anime etc), but now I see a future China will gladly use AI slop and continue to destroy JP influence. On the other hand CN gets nothing in the long term from this, instead of creating a real manga/anime industry, if they go the AI slop route it will just crash and burn when people worldwide push back against AI. Not like they care, nationalism and all.
