You are forgetting One Piece that have helped the TV ratings of one channel on the terrestrial television network, the 17th channel iirc. I think that the state of the DVD market is where it is now because publishers like Kaze and Dynamic keep licensing everything under the sun, without knowing if it will make it big. Also customers now waits for bargain packs like Black Lagoon, the whole series, sold for 19 euros. My most recent purchase had been Redline because I felt like this kind of show needs support.
