I, for one, am tired of having the companies who are translating and dubbing these shows have the idea that they KNOW what we want. It also goes along with the games. How many of you out there know about the Bebop PS2 game from a few years ago, or the Gohdannar game, or the old Slayers games? We, the fans, the ones who BUY these DVDs, and other products related to the shows, should have hearsay.
I have an idea to solve this though: Make polls on the distributor sites asking us the fans, what we'd like to be seen brought over. I mean, think about it: most of the time , we only get anime games in the form of the most popular series, like Naruto, or InuYasha, or FMA. but what about the lesser know shows like Ouran High, or maybe a little bit or Prince of Tennis, or hell, I'd even be happy with that Appleseed game.
I'd like to know what the lot of you think about this, and what shows that have been fan subbed over the years, but never licensed, that YOU would like to see be released.
This is Dred Lily, your blue furred anime enthusiast, and that's all I have to say about this. ((Yes I know it's from 2, >.> Just seemed fitting.))~ ^w^V

well, polling the audience might seem like a good idea, but there are a couple of problems that arise when you deal with that. First off, whoever liscences said anime is doing it to make money, regardless of what ANY poll would say, even if it was someplace where anime fans could easily get to it. Also, I doubt any of those polls would have a big turn out as anime in most other countries is already not as popular as other shows. Anime watchers that actually go to a website and poll would only dwindle that number.
It would be an awesome thing to see, but for now we are just gonna keep seeing shonen jump animes out of japan.
