In this day and age of growing anime popularity in the US:
- Keep in mind only a subset of material makes it to the US
- Why is it the "pervert" anime "Urotsukidoji"
preceded so many other anime?
- For a long time, it seemed that "Street Fighter"
and "Tekken" were the most noticed of the game
imports.
- Anime that made US TV have often been altered and censored
- "Voltron," for example, had
the nitty-gritty removed, and was multiple series spliced together.
- Anime, just like the Western novel industry, has all sorts.
- If "95% of anything is trash," this applies to Anime products too
- Still, more and more variety is coming into the country!
