Anime slowly started to seep in into regular tv back in the mid 90's in the west, and many tv hosts stopped their broadcasting after a while since they didn't accumulate much of a viewer quota and thus didn't want to renew their license. You might be biased since you're every day on 4chan, but in reality to this day anime is still considered a niche in the real world that weird people like.
>especially since most American cartoons were animated overseas by themhm I can't recall a single cartoon that was animated by Japan. To mind come extremely western styled old animations like Heidi and Kimba the Lion, but they weren't created with a western market or release in mind.
>I don't see why games with Japanese covers wouldn't sell wellyou are again personally biased
>>3974352 Also in regards to videogames, looking at the old nintendo or sega covers a lot of them were completely changed for the west, since after all they were tailored for the one who buys the product; the parents. Just a decade before america was in war with vietnam, and if you know anything about ignorant people from the old days; asians are yellow-skinned chinks regardless where they are from. That stigma transferred to their children aka the parents from the 80's and 90's. Everything about that time was smashed with a big "Made in America" seal of approval to unite the masses with patriotism and further halt the process of foreign products sweeping in from overseas that could destabilize the american market.
