So... yeah your wrong and you've been corrected.

No you can't. America has a market for it because like it or not there is a large following for Japanimé and Manga.
Just because you have a soapbox to stand on and shout of crap about other countries doesn't mean you have to... or are even close to right.
As for Japan's problems;
Question HAVE ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY BEEN THERE? Cause I have, and I know the guys in this forum that actually live there haven't posted in this thread.
you want to know what's wrong with the American culture; simply put... Mouse is!
It is people like him which are the ones that dosile the entire country, they're the loudest ones in the entire culture and as such are the ones that end up having the voice, and being what are exposed to foreign countries.
A pure ignorance of everything outside of thier bubble because they solely believe that you can learn everything you need to know from a book, from a television and from hear'say (internet) ... media which can be manipulated to whoever has written it.
Oftenly having a chip on thier shoulder so damn big, that they get mad at the slightest things they do not understand and as such damn it; but try to put across that they actually understand what they're talking about trying to convince every man, woman and child that they are the correct voice.
Japanese have censorships, they are relatively stick; and even if you are old enough to see something what happens is it is blurred so you cannot fully recognise what is going on.
Sorry but alot of people who have spoken in this thread against Japanime trying to prove some large scheme point, are full of crap.
If you don't like it, fine you don't like it... I don't like damn Mushrooms, you know what i do with Mushrooms; give them to my brother who does like them and not go around claiming to everyone that Mushroom cause cancer becuase i read it on the internet on http://www.theoriesforbigomists.com

Hey has anyone here seen Ghost in the Shell Innocence yet?
if you haven't... DO SO... NOW!
i didn't think they could top the depth of the original, which quite frankly was a pure landmark film; but the story go much further down the rabbit hole.
Same goes for Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children; questions are answered, even more are asked. That and Sefi (Sephiroth 'B') is just one hell of an awesome character.
