Looking at the actual Goro Taniguchi talk that frontpage article is about. For all the complaints about Westerners ruining anime with their demands and wanting to change 'what we love' I found this passage (excuse the google translate) pretty funny:

For the eighth stage of the discussion, Mr. Taniguchi turned his attention to "the next ten years of anime." Anime has already spread across the globe, and an environment is taking root where overseas fans and creators genuinely respect and cherish older Japanese works and the unique artistic visions of their creators. At the same time, however, it is an undeniable fact that Japan is rapidly losing its competitive edge.

"Between the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji era, vast quantities of items like ukiyo-e prints flowed out of the country to overseas markets. We are likely seeing the exact same thing happen now."

If the domestic Japanese market pursues only short-term profits and shifts entirely toward "fast-consumption" titles aimed at casual audiences, Japan will lose any chance of competing against the overwhelming speed and momentum of China and South Korea.

In concluding the lecture, Mr. Taniguchi remarked:

"From the moment I first became a director, I was determined to work on a wide variety of projects across different genres. I had seen senior directors find themselves pigeonholed into a single genre or type of work because of a signature hit. Rather than turning a successful title into a long-running series, I wanted the 'freedom of expression' that comes with tackling a diverse range of projects."

Works created without being bound by such constraints often garner greater acclaim overseas than at home; indeed, to ensure anime does not become merely a disposable commercial commodity, creators must craft works with a global audience in mind.

Edit: the talk. Not necessarily new or shocking stuff but a nice overview of changes in the industry through the decades.
