[ILOVEJAPAN]

Anime is becoming more and more main streem all the time. But lets not forget its been main streem in japan for years. Anime is made in Japan so the creators only consider the Japanese audience. It becoming mainstream in america wont affect it in Japan, so we dont need to worry about anything changing.

Although maybe somthings happening in Japan too. Latley I have noticed anime becoming more focused on the animation, and less on the plot. Im not sure whats happening.

Somthing else from Japan that I think is really entering main streem in america, is Japanese movies. The popularity of J-horror is really getting big. Like Ring, Ju-On, and anything from Takashi Miike, (like audition, or ichi the killer) I think the new popularity of Japanese films over seas is affecting the Japanese film industry alot. Is it just me, or are Japanese films getting higher budgets then ever before? I ecessialy noticed in 2005 and 2006, some really high budget films from Japan.
