why would a us crash be that detrimental to the japanese industry, the us produces zero anime, all it does is distributes the product. Japanese otaku fandom is what really supports the industry, having a slice of the U.S. pie is nice but in all actuality they could survive with out the us. Right the american anime industry is flawed in the way it handles its fan base and its overall marketing. Basically the only real community that the anime industry owns right now is Anime News Network, and you can tell they've been bought, just read some of their reviews, on average pretty much every anime scores 8 or above, its basically a big comercial for anime products. The U.S. slice is not critical to the japanese at all, if the u.s went poof most likely they would scale down production but that in itself would not warrant a complete implosion of that industry.
