Comment on America’s Top 30 Anime Classics, According to the Japanese by Anonymous:

lose what market?

1) its a market built on foreigners liking what comes out of Japan.
if an American wants “American flavored” cartoons he/she wouldn’t be watching anime.

that’s like arguing Japanese food should be made to suit the palette of American eaters. a flawed notion because an American fan of Japanese cuisine has a palette that likes Japanese food. that’s kind of the whole point.

2) what market?
the anime/manga markets outside of Japan are a long way from their heyday.

they’ve largely collapsed and the companies that were making all their money localizing Japanese otaku culture have slimmed down significantly or shutdown.

what’s left isn’t a primary concern of anime studios. and given a choice between pandering to fans in Japan or overseas fans, they’ll pander to their Japanese fans. there’s at least a chance of some money in that.

  Trigun, good, the others, not my type. Also really don’t like crayon shin-chan. Everything else is good in my book…except the obscure names most americans had to google to find the romanized version… D. Gray-man should be way higher on the list…but then again the anime stopped right before the awakening/created exorcists arcs.

  Its off this poll, Cowboy Bebop is immensely popular, Trigun also really popular in the west (even though it not nearly as such in Japan) and Outlaw Star was also pretty popular. I know a lot of people that seen champloo but not sure how widespead it is. Hellsing also got a lot of popularity.

  I don’t care much at all for bro-sis incest… well, especially if the brother is older.

  Traitors of God? Which one? History is replete with gods who come and go. They only last until people don’t think believing in them helps anymore. Someday Jesus will be nothing but a footnote, but the human race will go on.
