My thought on digital techniques is just that more shows can be produced in less time at less expense, making it easier to put stuff into the market.
A prominent anime director, whose name I will get for you as soon as I can, stated [in the introduction to an American book on anime some years back] that there is a strain of gynephobia among today's Japanese boys and young men. To this he attributed the increase, among other things, of pornography and of titles in which the "hero" has difficulty relating to women, or has a girl dumped in his lap, or whatever. An odd thought, but perhaps the smaller family contributes to this phenomenon, and perhaps he's just full of it.
