I’m just convinced most western Media companies have their heads stuck in the ground. Honestly I’m seeing anime become so much more popular than it was just couple years ago. Even common chains like Walmart and target I’m seeing have manga in stock tho it’s only basic as you can go. Most anime fans including myself would rather bootleg our anime than wait to binge after it’s been out for 2 seasons

from what i understand, it’s licensing in the US that seems to be the issue. some shows or movies that aren’t available in the US, are available in most of Europe for some reason
