You have to cast me in the strawman position of OP because you're a shitposting moron who doesn't actually watch anime
You won't believe it but the vast majority of anime never make any comments on politics or history
No pretty much everyone recognizes this because of how hollowed out by corporatism the industry has become as "otaku" has been embraced by the mainstream. The government has literally turned anime and manga into social currency through programs like Cool Japan. Not to mention that the majority of the master artists will themselves admit how much they are influenced by the profit motive, audience acceptance, and obligation to investors. Gainax is a great example since it's simultaneously THE prestige otaku studio and a shell of IP sniping that was obliterated by the darkness of economics.
One of the really telling moments is the staff interview that went with the TTGL anniversary showings. They all agreed that it was impossible to make something like that again. Even still there are plenty of true "otaku" works within recent times. For me it all started with trying to unravel UN-GO, and Concrete Revolutio basically does the same thing in a less elegant way. And then, everywhere you look, it's the same story. As soon as you learn the real history of Japan it becomes so obvious.
Even the new Godzilla dipped its toes into that stream because it is central to postwar culture rather than just otaku media. Murakami uses the same points of contact and that's the secret reason he's irresistible mass market gold.
