| pokoko said: Do you know why anime is big in the west now? Fansubs. I was there back then, trading VHS tapes on the internet because Japanese companies wouldn't bring over anything over except Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and some horribly butchered versions of a few other titles with supposed mass appeal. They said there was no interest in the west in anything else. I had to trade for tapes of Hana Yori Dango that were recorded from television. I had to look everywhere for someone subbing Kodocha. |

and there are many many other animes from the 70-90s localized in the west
maybe in NA it was this way but its because your TV channels wouldnt allow animes to be aired probably because of xenophobia. Everywhere else in the world Anime was big, it always was.
