In all, I think even the creators of anime, manga or novels, while watchful and noting of the need to attract a sustainable fanbase, want to insert some meaningful piece of themselves into their works.. and out into the world.

I agree. I'd like to add that I see nothing "wrong" in making anime to make money. I think that it's perfectly acceptable to want to make a profit,
and tell a good story. It's not like the two are mutually exclusive.
