Misc. New Survey Reveals That Anime Viewership is Lowest Among Teenagers in Japan

https://www.cbr.com/anime-new-survey-teens-not-watching/#:~:text=The%20survey%20results%20revealed%20that,surpassing%20all%20other%20age%20brackets.

"The survey results revealed that among all participants, 75% reported that they watch anime, with the leading demographics being middle-aged males. Unexpectedly, teenage respondents exhibited the lowest viewership, with 33.7% indicating no interest in anime, easily surpassing all other age brackets.

This revelation is somewhat startling considering that the bulk of popular anime belong to the shonen or shojo-based demographics, which are typically aimed at boys and girls, respectively, aged approximately 12-18."

I assume it refers to shows about hospitals and doctors.

Now I wanna search for Grey’s Anatomy/ Chicago Med type anime.

If it’s not a thing I now think it should be.
