I live in a pretty rural area but the number of anime fans I continually stumble upon is staggering and many of those buy the local Madman releases quite religiously.
In fact about two weeks ago I had to go to the next town over which actually boasts quite a few stores and there is one audio and visual store which has an entire thirty foot space devoted just to anime.
Every time I go there I always find time to go and have a squiz at what's on offer and last time I had to fight for bloody room!
And shit, I know for a fact I wasn't the oldest one there, not by a long shot.
If anything I've seen the anime industry increase in my opinion.
