I’m still t...First I apologize for the dry opening. I’m still trying to find a “voice” for the blog or at least for my half of the blog. I try different things. I mostly go with what makes Narutaki chuckle. It’s always good to know what works and what makes people skip to the next paragraph. Assuming that people actually read what I write and don’t just skip everything I write and just focus on what Narutaki has to say. Narutaki is cooler than me. It’s a know fact. It’s even on wikipedia. <BR/><BR/>I guess it never came up in the actual blog post but there is a good bit of long running kids anime that is very popular in America and Japan but it tends to be anime that has some related product tie in that is also popular in America. Pokemon and YuGiOh were popular in the US but that was partially due to the fact that they had successful games in the US. That was always 4Kids basic business model. Pick up shows that have a good toy and/or video game license and try to get kids interested in both aspects of the franchise. <BR/><BR/>My general argument is it’s dark “mature” anime that tends to be popular in the US but not Japan which is definitely the work of the high school and collage student demographic. Kids shows that are popular in America tend to be popular in Japan as well. The only counterexample I can think of is the fact that Voltron was wildly popular in the US but GoLion and Dairugger XV were nowhere near as popular in Japan. <BR/><BR/>Narutaki is on vacation so I don’t know what his contribution to this would be. The mysterious man of mystery is in contact with me but mostly for a few second every other day. <BR/><BR/>- HisuiHisui and Narutakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056057831050282205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895184527008014360.post-21210233362754082562007-12-31T14:39:00.000-08:002007-12-31T14:39:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hisui and Narutakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056057831050282205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895184527008014360.post-91120147527945655732007-12-21T23:06:00.000-08:002007-12-21T23:06:00.000-08:00A geek by any other name is a 'she' not a 'he', by...A geek by any other name is a 'she' not a 'he', by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
