I prefer it not being mainstream, it just seems more personal that way. though if it is mainstream that means more ppl will want to buy it which means there will more out ther for us. But one of the things that rly pisses me off is ppl who only get into anime cos their friends or every1 else is. With anime not being all that well known it sorta seems like a secret society for awesome ppl who share a passion for something.Answer: Yes, anime going mainstream DOES scare me.

Fantastic site and thanks for the details. It appears to be pretty difficult to find the world cup shirts in the US. Most stores don’t have them. The internet seem to be a excellent place to be a get them.

the whole foundation of otaku culture is borrowing ideas when you think about it, and it’s not like the japs haven’t made any manga in to anime then anime into live action, it’s only natural progress that this “mainstreaming trend” is crossing a cultural barrier.
hollywood has had a lot of let downs, but there are still artist out there devtoted to their arts and producers devoted to the artist.
the wachwoski brothers is a good example, look at what they did for matrix (1) and speed race…… i just prey they don’t pull a dragon ball like remake on something as priceless as akira….

I really like that we are getting more anime and manga every day, but don’t like what some companies are doing to try and make money off of it

in till there is storyline that westerners can believe that is dark compelling with matching western characters and voiced in english that is marketed towards adults then mainstream adoption won’t happen

in till then your animes will be viewed as wierd fucked up cartoons by the Japanese. Because westerns can’t relate to the screwy story lines or characters that anime betrays

having kids with powers that fly around or live in computer games or have metal robots or w/e isn’t how to make adult drama

(my view of anime looking in from outside I have a few friends that are like you lot an this is what I see)
