1. The growth of downloaded content is more likely to continue as the closed system of region one DVD releases continues to falter. I stipulate that the region one dvd system is closed as in closed minded towards growth in an ever changing market model. I am not advocating that the physical medium be abandoned, I calling for it to follow more closely the evolution from VHS to DVD. People who argue against the trend of hard drive collected content need to review the evolution of electronic entertainment and the rapid changes to audio and video mediums. I have to ask what are the revenue differences between legitimate downloads and DVD sales. In a shifting economic market, the cost of two dollars an episode for download verses four to five dollars an episode on DVD would appear to be simple.
2. The industry as a whole must stop taking its customers for granted. We live in a digital age. I no longer have to rely on imported Newtype magazine articles from the comic book stores to learn about new animes in Japan. (Yeah I'm that old) Anime as a collectors item started off a piracy before becoming mainstream and legit. The return to piracy could be seen as cyclical but it isn't. It is driven equally by individual greed and corporate apathy. I have read many articles condeming the individual greed but I have witnessed little hand bitting by editors pointing out the corporate disregard for the customer. Stop blaming the potential customer for downloading episode 563 of Meitan Conan when they can't purchase a single region one copy of episode 235 of Case Closed. Bleach began in 2004 and has surpassed 250 episodes. Cartoon Network has run over 150 episodes, but only four seasons consisting of roughly twenty episodes each have been released. With roughly 75 episodes, why has it taken until 2009 for a exceptional series like Monster that started in 2004 to begin being released on DVD?

Now I am sure most people are asking what can we do to help. Well I have a couple of solutions. First of all, buy anime on DVD. It will help in the long run. It will keep the remaining dubbing studios open and it could possibly create a new one. Also where ever anime merchandise is sold it will keep them open too. If any of you live near an anime only store go there and don't just buy a plushie, buy a DVD. If not a series then how about a movie? If you do that the store will stay open and you don't have to drive 100 miles to the nearest anime only store. Next is to stop the dubbing/fan sub war. I do download anime. I am guilty of that but I also have a decent anime collection. I have Inuyasha Final Act but when it does come to the US I will delete my downloaded content and buy it. I think the fan sub fans need to see the english versions of their downloaded anime if it has come to the US. A couple of episodes won't hurt. Don't plow through, actually listen and watch it. If you don't like it, fine. At least you gave it a try and opened up to the dubbed world. 2ff7e9595c
