Well, they keep sending kids to do dangerous jobs like piloting mechas and becoming magical girls, now there is only old people left
I thought the old people were busy running samurai schools.
I just finally started watching Gundam and damn do they love putting those kids in mechas. Zeta seems to follow the trend and I guess the other series do too lol.
Evangelion at least tried to provide a plot reason for why the pilots all had to be young teenagers. Skimped a bit on explaining why all the support staff were in their twenties except for the two older dudes at the top tho…
I knew they had a population issue, but holy shit!
There are many people that would immigrate and be willing to adapt to the Japanese culture if given the opportunity.
Given how Japan seems to embrace AI and robots more than any other nation, it makes me wonder if Japan may inevitably have a significant portion of the population comprised of robots.
Population growth is not sustainable. There must be times when the numbers go down. This is much better than war or famine.
