>>2675252Do you think marketing something as "anime" will make it profitable? Chad and Stacy won't sit down and watch cartoons unless it's nu-Simpsons or South Park or some shit.
Barring Ghibli movies and shonenshit people grow up with as children, the only Westerners that actually sit down and watch anime are people specifically interested in it, and the majority of them stream or torrent it for free. It's not a profitable medium in the West.
