First off I think he's talking about what has influenced anime here in america, not so much in japan.
Second off 0079 did not do very well in Japan and had to be cancelled. It wasn't until later it became more popular.
Third, Bebop is one of, if not the most popular anime in america. You can argue this but I know a ton of people that got into anime because of bebop. The only anime that got more people into anime is dbz around here.
Fourth, what the hell are you talking about with trading cards? We're talking about card games which i thought was made quite clear.
And ArkaidR, don't get into star wars ccg. That game was great and I spent probably over a grand on it but ever since they started mixing episode one crap into it the game has sucked. They changed too many rules and added stupid stuff, not to mention it didn't make sense to have people from different time periods fighting each other. I quit as soon as I read the new rule book when it came out... =/
No idea what it's like now but I doubt very much they have fixed very much, especially since it's harder to find places that still sell swccg packs at stores much less places that sponsor tournaments. I know they have stopped entirely in my area.
