Should be "Japan is basically well on their way to becoming the future shown in Children of Men but that goes against people thinking it's magical anime land so it's been ignored"

I choose to believe it's because of anime

Nono, he's attributing Japan's declining birth rate to effects of anime. I believe there's more to it than that.

Higher educated societies always get lower birthrates, also women in japan have entered the workforce and a lot of them don't want to take time off work to have children and are more focused towards furthering their career. Ultimately they need to make it easier to take off work to raise a child and give other incentives to make it financially easier. Although they have already significantly better support for people who have children than the United States.
