Maybe one out of 50 has anime. At least in California. Most American stores do not carry them, even if they do, the selection is really really minute. Reasons: People don't watch anything they've not heard about, they don't watch anything that's not shown on TV, "Cartoons are for kids" etc.
I did know a few that used to carry them. However, these stores stopped since anime did not run at all. Let's say the stores paid $17 per volume. Max each volume only got rented out 2-5 times. Stores lose money.
Sad, isn't it? At least for anime fans. :p
