it seems today that if u ask some one on the street about anime they'll probably answer dragon ball z or pokemon, these r vey poorly drawn shonen animes, it seems that the really good animes/mangas go unnoticed because there just that, animated~scowls~ i hate that term, well n e way my question is why is it that these animes r so well known, and others are left in the shadows? i guess its because pokemon and dragon ball z have such a item market around them...so whats ur opinion?^-^

It's because of a lot of factors in American society today. For one, the sponsors are idiots, another thing, the FCC screwed Sailor Moon and other shojo anime titles over, the mishandling of other kinds of anime, lazy reporting of some titles, need I go on?

I think it's because these kid animes are on during the day, so people see kids watching them and stuff, but the good ones like inuyasha and trigun are on at night.
