I dont think they are specifically targetting "us" but consolidation of culture to a standardized, one-size-fits-all, easily controllably form is definitely part of it.

You cant have total domination of media if there exists media in other countries that is better than yours, in the age of the internet people will just gravitate to what is good and ignore your propaganda.

So in order to make sure the entire world only sees the narrative you choose, is to make every other the sun the same, flatten the playing field so all anyone sees is the approve messaging for all time, and once that happens they have complete control over mind and culture. (´ー`)

I dont think "They" have a particular bone to pick with anime specifically, anime just stands in the way of total narrative domination, like anything else they dont have full control over.

Making sure all countries express their uniqueness, free from outside interference is paramount to making sure everyone is truly free and insure creativity lives. ヽ(´∇ ` )ノ
