[QUOTE]But changes do need to come to the market. Be it on the fansub side, or on the DVD side. As much as Japan hates it, the US market really can't support single volume TV series releases anymore. And unless they wake up to the fact the cash flow they need from the US market will dissapear.... Also, it'd help if they stopped releasing so much crap too. The volume and lack of quality of the product is getting pretty bad. For every 3-4 great series you get about 10 decent to okay ones and a pile of bad ones. It seems like every manga /game gets a TV series even if they don't deserve it...-.- [/QUOTE]Honestly, I hope they DON'T follow after the US and start cranking out anime that go on and on until the well runs dry and everyone is sick of it. That's one of the things that really appealed to me about anime was that series would END at some point. Sure, some had "second seasons" or spin-offs or whatever you want to call it, but at least a large majority (of what I've seen) don't keep going until they run it into the ground. Airmaster? Fun show, done. Azumanga? Awesome show, done. Cowboy Bebop? Great show, done. Throw an extra movie in here and there and keep it at that. I'm sure the lack of quality thing you mentioned is just more noticeable these days since the exposure's so much higher. We're more aware of these shows now, so we're catching more than just the classics overseas... It's not hard to believe that there were duds in the past. They just weren't successful enough to make it out of Japan.
