stararnold-sama, that could be a problem because there's a ton of money going toward other feilds in America. But you're very right as well. I mean, we need better quality TV. Wouldn't it be great if America came up with their own anime show?

Tally makes a point about the darker side, even if it's doing something you love. But altogether, I'm looking at the practical point here: the creation of so many new jobs in any industry. Has the U.S. managed that recently? Let's see: Obama promised to improve the economy and deficit - um, nope, not happening. Obama said he's going to end troop deployment to Iraq - no, wait, he's sending like 10,000 more troops to that eventually he can bring them all home. He gives upwards of 50 million to corporate CEOs who blow it on their little private parties and fancy stuff, thus not getting it to cushion those whose retirements were squandered by said CEOs. The manga industry may be tough to work for, but I'm giving Japan's government a jump-up-and-down-yell-and-scream standing ovation for trying.
I see your interesting point there, but technically, I was trying to refer to the need for investment in markets for original American and Canadian Animations while Japan does its market investment for its original animated works.

While it is among debate which depression/panic that we can compare our current situation to, it's good to see that Japan has some plan. I suppose since they had some troubles not too long ago in the 80s or 90s, they have a good idea on what to do.
Here's to the hope that this global crisis doesn't led to a World War.
I agree.
Canada and the USA need to start investing in the manga and anime market. Even in a huge recession, there are still fans that go to anime conventions across the world. If they can create more jobs in that area, I'm positive people will jump on the opportunity to work. (I sure as hell would >8D)
Japan's is about to do its part in making a huge job increase for its manga markets. This is something Canada and U.S.A. each needs to do for its animation market, seeing that economic recession is still a crisis taking place there and that work contribution to U.S. and Canadian animation is still at a low rate in contrast to Japanese Animation annually, despite their long run of decades.

Hm, well that's interesting. Let's hope I can remember to use this in a debate the next time one of my teachers comments on my hobbies.
