Trying to copy another culture rarely works IMO. For every Avatar, we get a ton of shitty series that are completely forgotten soon. Yes, they can use their own interpretations, but most likely they will just try to copy the Americans...which would be disastrous.

Now you're having a tin foil hat moment .... all the parents I know (including me) during the 90s *loved* those series and often watched them with the kids. In my opinion, we can mostly blame people/idiots/suits who don't have kids nor have any idea what they're like. The kind of people who market nasally inserted fire because they're morons and they think the audience is just like them

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.

Invader Zim One of the coolest animated shows from the USA... Died from the stroke of a bean counters pen. BoonDocks Another cool show... that survives because of its distinctly adult themes, excellent animation quality and the ability to plug all manner of adult goods during commercial breaks. It survives because it can pay for itself... because it can sell beer, condoms and shaving gear. The Avatar was a watershed moment... and I hope there are many more like it. It was able to pay for itself simply because of its unique story line. Last edited by relentlessflame; 2012-02-28 at 21:38. Reason: please don't double-post |

You know it would, not just that, even extraterrestrial life-form would enjoy that show.

What about the other way around? Japanese making or remaking western shows, recent example would be power-puff girls, I didn' t actually watched it so I cannot comment on it. But, I just hear that Madhouse will create a new the peanuts show, you know that cartoon that featured characters like Charlie Brown and Snoopy. You guy think that will work. |

Got a very interesting tweet from Zac from ANN about a very intriguing 3-part series coming soon that SHOULD dispel a lot of misconceptions here.

It might dispel them if people would read them... but I find too many people are willing to construct a huge house of cards off of one bit of murky guessing
