Ok, let me try to reply that...

As much as I understand, you would like to see more licenced and dubbed anime. However, first of all, you'd have to gather at least few thousands of votes to at least have a hope of accomplishing something. That's like whole active community of NM, as most of people are dirty leeches coming to download ero-stuff.

Second of all, I hate dubs. Lots of people hate them as well, because most of companies screw original texts badly (so far I have seen only Mononoke Hime and Golden Boy dubbed well). I still watch stuff with dubs, athough very rarely.

Third of all, I hate licences. I live in a country where its possible to find like 10% of what's available in USA. One anime DVD costs about 1/10 of the normal salary, so you have to be quite rich to buy them. Hell, I pay for my internet monthly as much as I'd pay for one DVD. I wouldn't want to look in someone's eyes and say "Hey, I wanted to help one person, I didn't think someone would have to sell their kidneys to watch anime". If there were free AND paid (for good quality) choices, I wouldn't mind, but companies always forbid the sharing of free subbed anime and only let people to get stuff with crap dubs, instead of making their product better.

About the games - I'd be for translation of Japanese games and making games for not-that-famous anime shows. Sadly, game makers KNOW what people (and I) want. Its their job to know what people would buy. If anime game gets 30th place in the wishlists, it probably won't get translated no matter how much people would beg. Same with making not-that-popular games. You can always learn the language and translate them yourself, or ask other kind people to do it, but that's all you can do.

Life sucks. Better get used to it till you get burnt.
