bad anime
i have always wondered why the major television networks always choose to show the worst anime possible. if it isn't bad in its japanese form the networks make it bad with horrible dubbing and name changes. anyone know a reason?

Re: bad anime
That's easy... the TV Networks share the same view of many in America... that animation is just for kids. They'll grab the titles they think will appeal to their audience.sesame butter wrote:i have always wondered why the major television networks always choose to show the worst anime possible. if it isn't bad in its japanese form the networks make it bad with horrible dubbing and name changes. anyone know a reason?
When Escaflowne was to be shown, it was edited and hacked to appeal to the boys age 6-12... and when someone asked, "Well... what do girls 8-12 think of the show?" It was stated that Escaflowne was never tested in front of girls because "girls don't watch animation."
This is why Cardcaptor Sakura was edited to appeal to a male audience.
Yes... it is frustrating and annoying... and has prevented much achievement in the realm of American Animation.
Batman: The Animated Series was originally supposed to air on PRIME TIME and have writing aimed for a more adult audience, but WB chickened out and tossed the show into the kids line-up...
Again... a shame... because Batman: The Animated Series had some great writing and great direction and would have made some real strides for American Animation.

Because it makes money without pissing everbody off, that's why.
Could you imagine if Evangelion was put a popular network or the Cartoon Network. How about saturday mornings on fox? How about one of those lolicon shows for pedophiles or something equally mind dulling
All Hell Would Break Loose. Parents, relegious groups, schools, the Dixie Chicks would all be rallying to bomb Japan and the television networks to get such Asian zionist pedophelia off their television sets.
So they pick the safe anime instead.
