You want some sort of "proof" that companys "take a look at fansubs". Goto the adult swim message boards where they have a action and comedy suggestion forum for people to suggest what shows they would like to be aired on adult swim. Why would they do this if people weren't able to watch fansubs and put in there opionon on shows across seas? They would essentially have to wait till its licensed here and watch it on there show or dvd. Which then they wouldn't need to be asking there viewers whats a good show to be airing. Anyone saying fansubs don't help out companys in market research of what to be aired in america or any other country outside of japan is a fool and needs to open there eyes.

You're getting it all wrong. Licensees don't care about what people want, they want to shove whatever it is they got down your throat. It's easier to do so if nobody's watched it before, because then you can hype it like crazy and the ignorant masses will swarm to it like they always do. Hollywood Mew Mew? Initial D tricked out version? Who thought these things up?

I still stand by my answer though fansubs do help american companys figure which animes to pick up because it is a good source for checking out interest of a show. Why not right? Like someone said before, if the fansub community theres a show that gets ALOT of downloads then obviously theres a big interest (especially since most user downloading it are from america) then the company can take a further look into the series and then do there own market research inside the states to get a better final outcome of viewer interest. Instead of reading what someone says and then jumping on the 10 word spamming post maybe you should actually consider what someone is trying to get across and voice your own opionon instead of trying to rack up your post count to look cool "dissing" someone who actually has something to say about the subject in hand. |

I think the answer is "occasionally". There are lots of shows that are getting licensed (or at least pursued) before they're even broadcast, there are occasional ones which aren't going to get licensed whatever, but between the two there's a grey area of shows. Some of these will be underestimated or even not spotted by Western companies, and that's where a successful fansub run could make the difference.

Assuming programs are picked up simply because of fansub reaction is pretty fucking selfish, as a lot of these companies are trying to get this out to more people, thus forth they pick up shows they perceive as being popular. Ala Ghost in the Shell, Ala Ninja Scroll, ala all Gundam and Sunrise Productions, ala blah blah one piece blah blah
