yeah anime comes and goes, only once every 5 years is there a boom and the other 4 years it falls off of peoples intrest, this has been going on since the 80's also its only the US operations that are hurting, As far as japan is concerened Genoen ADV and Funimation is doing just fine, its just the US offices and productions that are not being the most profitable.
so what it means is that without buying inport bootlegs its more and more unlikly well see newer/current animes in the future..
