Is this just code for otaku oriented? |

Most likely that’s what it means. It sucks that stupid brain dead otaku bait shows are what’s most popular. This kind of crap doesn’t leave much room for original stuff to be made. After all why take a risk on something new when you can just shovel out the same old crap that people cant seem to get enough of. |

It would be cool if "Fan-focused titles" was specifically code for Lucky Star, but I couldn't find any list of specific titles in that report.
I see they specifically mentioned Heroes as a TV series that's doing well on DVD in Japan. |

Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru (in that order) |

Any bets as to how well LUCKY STAR will sell upon the first day of release in the USA?

And there were doomsayers, claiming that anime failing in the west would cause the fall of anime in the east. I'd say this is proof of the falseness of those statements.
LONG LIVE ANIME! |
