LE, I'm happy for the enthusiasm you bring to our hobby. You certainly have some ideas that look like they could potentially earn you a living. It is fun to dream and come up with ideas it's just that the one you've put forth in this thread didn't seem to be that well thought through. All of the "facts" you mentioned appeared to have been either faulty memories or outright fabrications.
A few people around here are sticklers when it comes to facts and have been known to be a bit heavy handed when people start stating "facts" inaccurately.
I am interested to find out what it would take to produce a North American version of an anime show. I would like to think that there is some gem that has been overlooked by all the existing importers (too bad Disney has Studio Ghibli locked into that darned contract... it would be great to be the person who brings over The Cat Returns or something like that).
So keep dreaming your great ideas and do a little more research before posting them with "facts". I'm sure there are other people who have had similar ideas but not followed through on them and just not bothered to post anything.
As it is, a lot of people get stuck with your innaccuracies and forget that you had a good idea behind all of it. Instead of saying "it can't happen" spend some more time finding out "what will it take to happen".
Wow... where did that soap box come from? I'll get down now.
