Yeah, we have a tendency to slack off during our english classes back in middle and high school. I actually forced myself to pick up what I have missed out when I got my first internet access.

speedyexpress48 mentioned that the site has an American POV. This seems to suggest that he believes non-American fans might have issues with the site's content more than the language. I could be wrong, of course, but that's the impression I got.

Well, Japan probably has its own sources for anime news, and the Western anime fanbase is quite small outside of the US, so I can't say these numbers surprise me. Whether or not there are other reasons for ANN's visitors being mostly Americans, is not really of my concern.

Anyway, I liked what I got out of the third part of the article, in conjunction with the latest ANNCast. BTW, does anyone know if Crunchyroll and other sites really turn off advertising if you subscribe? I'd hate to be a paying customer and get my ass profiled by ad tracking software. |

(I've been watching ripped Parisian dubs of American Dad and South Park and the damn things are "Not recommended for those under TEN years of age, WTF?! ) They also have good history of fandom there (ask some old(er) heads in France about Albator, Goldorak, Nicky Larson, and of course "Les Chevalliers De Zodiac."....so awesome.) There is a caveat, protectionist heavy China is apparently weary of allowing TOO much official penetration of foreign productions on the airwaves, or something like that according to wiki (LOL). They wanna prop up their own industry. |

Anime is a different story though,there's the classics indeed (I don't think dragonball has been off the air anyday in the past 20 years,it's always airing on some channel) but I don't think streaming has taken off like in the US and the DVD market seems pretty much dead.

Is that really that bad? Those shows stayed on the air because they proved they are timeless, they keep kids watching. Things are fine the way they are. TV houses get to keep their eyeballs, while the fandom gains new generations of fans later on because of those TV broadcasts.

You figure maybe 10% or so graduate from the "children" series like Pokemon/DBZ to the "boy child" series of the Bleach/OP/Naruto type series... and maybe 20% or less move on to the "REST OF ANIME". Even if they didn't watch those gateway anime, it was in their peripheral vision.

It would be useful if dubbing remains popular (both ways).
I know the Japanese like to dub America TV shows....but somehow I just can't see a Japanese guy being able to pull off Mr. T in the A-Team. (and I know they must have since GONZO used the theme from that show as the basis for one of the themes in Full Metal Panic years ago).

There are no further stepping stones into anime fandom and there is no variety. So it's no wonder the fanbase stays at a limited size as viewers quickly enter and leave the narrow target zone of those shows. |

Hell I got Kure-nai for like 15 euros. I guess I overdid it a bit,but still I've got the impression that they've got more choices over in the US,both in DVD and in simulcasts (though yeah at one point kaze was licencing everything)
