I know that anime used to be targeted towards children, but somewhere in the middle it became a mainstream thing that appealed to everyone, which it doesn't any more.
With Cartoon Network I kinda hoped to imply both Toonami and Adult Swim as well, sorry if it was unclear lol

There use to be more publishers, more stores that carried anime dvds, more anime stores. Over the years stores with anime either stop carrying it or close down. I saw that happen to a lot of places in my city and I live in a pretty large city. And yes there is less anime on tv, probably because kids and teens now these days are into all those reality stuff and don't have any interest for anime, most probably haven't even heard of it. Through out my life I only met a handful of people who knew what it was...and sadly i probably wont meet much more. Anime is dying, I wouldn't say its completely dead yet though.

I agree. Although, I literally just got back from buying Gurren Lagaan Box sets from a Sam Goodys nearby. I also agree on there being not enough advertisement of anime here (MOst likely because all the official trailers for them are crap). I've seen promos and trailers in the dvds I have and ALL of them suck...bad. If one of US (someone from the .org) made them, they would be a lot more interesting.
My biggest WOW moment was when Miku Hatsune appeared in the Toyota Corolla commercials. That was like amoment for me. I thought: YEESSSS!! ANIME IS GETTING EXPOSURE ON NATIONAL TV! Everything we own (and I mean EVERYTHING) we own because we were introduced to them, or were interested in them, or were at least curious. All of that is because of one thing:
ADVERTISING
Anime needz mo commercialz. How else are people gonna know about them if no one tells them about it? Hell, i'd make a commercial for free! (even though i know you gotta buy the air time on a network).
