EDIT: Are you on about the whole anime industry or what noodle? I'm on about how western companies are struggling to make ends meet. Most of the anime we get in England is from the USA, and it doesn't make much money here. Japan, on the other hand, well anime is a regular part of life, and easily and cheaply available, without translation. So they'll be doing fine I imagine.

I'm actually glad you understand this. I love the UK, but I feel like Noodle has so much anti American sentiment built up for no reason. We can't control (in it's common sense) how the markets are, and it just so happens that the US market is the leading market for anime next to China outside of Japan.
For some reason, Noodle is trying to say that I'm acting like the US is the center of the planet, when all I've done is show that North America has plenty of data to suggest that it has a much larger market for anime than the UK, therefore the effects of a decline in anime in North America are a lot more detrimental than that in the UK.
This has nothing to do with US/UK relations.
Just out of curiosity, of the anime you watch in the UK, about how much of it is in American English since you've said a lot of it is from the US. I didn't know you guys got anime from us in a dubbed fashion, if that's what you mean.
