Every year some new anime show is imported from Japan and poorly translated for the North American audiance. It runs for a while, and has merchandise out the @$$, then disappears with nary a trace. I've seen several episodes of the more popular ones recently (Full Metal Alchemist, Inu Yasha, and Naruto to name a few) and they are all lousy. The stories are poor, the voice acting is awful, and the animation isn't really on par with much of the earlier anime shows that have been released here. Is the audiance for these things getting younger? Is that why they can be so poorly translated now? What is it about these shows tht attracts droves of people for a year or so until they eventually get flogged to the point that no one is interested anymore? Anyone else remember Yu Gi Oh?
