I can kind of see what you mean Super Munch.
Don't let the kids anime market destory your vision of anime. Just pretend that these animes are 1/2 anime, more as western animation ideololgy (animations are for kids). Besides the good animes are yet to be well known, how many people do you think acually heard of the 1/2 of the animes in the
lists??
But the sad truth is that it was thanks to these titles that help bring the anime to the western world, it really sped up the rate of anime being ported to the western market.Look at all the titles that we can get now compare to the years before Pokemon...
Is there no anime that you really wanted to watch and its finally out in western market (no more fan dubs for me
) for all those that "say" anime is dead.
I'm really happy that they finally releasing the Studio Ghibli stuff.
