Re: saving anime

I don't think we're really going to see 2000s-level Western interest in anime again in general, even if every season was composed completely of Cowboy Bebops. One of the big things that helped with that boom was having shows on western TV (especially the old Toonami, where kids could catch it after school) and nowadays it's pretty much down to Pokemon, reruns of DBZ on Saturday morning, and the late-night Saturday Toonami. There's a lot of streaming alternatives, of course, which is why word of mouth is definitely helpful, but I don't know if we'll ever manage to recreate the anime boom of the early 2000s. (And while I'll agree there's been an increase in moe and fanservice shows, there's also more shows period. I recall reading somewhere that the current fall season has one of the largest amounts of new shows ever. I don't generally watch heavily moe or otaku-oriented fanservice shows, and I've still got six shows I'm watching this season with more I would've liked to try but haven't got enough time for.)

Samurai Flamenco's only aired two episodes but I'm quite enjoying it so far. I like the cast and it's shaping up to be pretty fun. I have high hopes for it, especially since it's a noitaminA show.
