You guys do realize that the American companies are beginning to have more and more to do with the funding for the original releases in Japan right? Without the R1 companies that some of you hate so much, there would be alot less anime being released in Japan right now.
Definitely true. I know for sure that the market outside of Japan had a lot to do with the second season of Big O and I also read somewhere that our purchasing power was a significant factor in the Bebop movie (though that may or may not be plausible). But our market is definitely becoming a power that even anime?s homeland cannot ignore.
