Cheers. I can quote these for my paper.
/edit Further analysis of the thread seems to indicate that Haruhi was a sales bomb only by the standards of Bandai's increased expectations. I'm going to need to analyse them a bit more before I can quote them definitively though. :< |

Well, I think part of the reason why the anime didn't do so well was because it never made it onto TV. Then again, I'm not sure if the mainstream audience would've gotten into the show if it got onto Cartoon Network or any other network. Being a fan of the show, I'm always rooting for its success.

That's a large part of it, yes. Anime sales are bad enough as it is, so without the half hour DVD advertisements, sales are bound to be poor.
Then again, there really aren't a lot of channels that would pick it up. It isn't action-y enough for [adult swim], and, despite having aliens and whatnot running around, it really isn't the kind of thing Siffy would pick up. Not like anyone would particularly like either one having it.

I think Bandai were expecting a breakaway hit though, and what they got was a slightly-better-than-average hit. So it's not the epic failure that we're talking about here. |

It's very possible that if I never came across fansubs, that if you'd ask me about anime, I'd probably say something about Naruto lol.

It's all about the fact that even though the anime market it still growing, it's still too small to appear to a profitable audience. As a result, a lot of networks that used to show a lot of anime have started to suppliment material that appeals to a wider audience (or so they hope). I'm still certain they anime isn't going anywhere, and I hope that as people in my generation and younger grow up, anime will be even more mainstream. I'm being an optomist about it, though.
