Abarenbo: Not sure about the anime, but people are clearly buying the Mew Mew manga from Tokyopop, so it must at least be profitable, or they wouldn't be publishing the spin-off. In addition, Pokemon and YuGiOh were specifically about games; so they were more marketable to kids than OP. Kahn also technically hasn't "failed" yet, unless TMNT flops miserably, which it might, since it looks mediocre, and it's desperately riding the nostalgia wave like Bay's Transformers.


No, I still think that Kahn dropped the ball on OP. Here is a property, with numerous marketing opportunities. I've stated this before, and I think Kahn had a golden opportunity to line his pockets from two sources. Parents and Otaku. Unfortunately, whatever the reason, he never capitalized on it.

A shame he wasn't the first company to "double-dip" in both the Parent and Otaku markets. Laughing
