The world where stuffed Domokuns and Pocky outsell anime by billions.
"The anime-related market in North America was reportedly at its largest in 2003, when it stood at US$4.84 billion. The 2007 figure was over 40% smaller. Of that US$2.829 billion in 2007, character goods made up US$2.512 billion, while DVDs accounted for US$316 million. By contrast, the character goods market increased from 2006's US$2.41 billion to 2007's US$2.512 billion. The market for packaged videos and DVDs peaked in 2002, when it rose to US$415 million"
