Circa 2001-2002, anime was really starting to gain some steam in the US. The Best Buy shelf of anime was rapidly growing as was the manga shelf at Barnes & Nobel. Working at an anime shop, i heard a lot of bellyaching about how anime/manga was getting too mainstream. To me, this argument was stupid because now we get overseas content FASTER. Imagine in 2001 someone said they could BROADCAST an episode in the US within 24 hours of the Japanese broadcast. People would laugh. But now it happens. And anime has grown beyond just shows out of Japan. Now we have Avatar: The Last Airbender, the new Thundercats show, and even anime X-Men. The style and storytelling of anime/manga has grown to be part of the medium as a whole. And thus it grows the medium, reaching new readers and viewers.

With so much content so readily available, charging a premium for it can prove futile. Look at Netflix, one fixed, low price for a LOT of content. For them, they’re not selling the content, but the service. Though the real question there will be if the quality of the content will decline in that case.

This industry is going to divide into two sections, I think. One side is going to consist of a indie/youth-base that reads the non-powers stuff because it is so accessible and the other is going to consist of crusty old fanboys who are coddled by DC and Marvel (and comic book stores) but will not help the industry advance. The older generation wants comics to stay inside some exclusive all-boys club while the other side wants comics to have a mainstream appeal. Both believe in the power of the medium but only one of them is going to allow this biz to survive.

From what I’ve been reading, the hard part is convincing a viable number of readers to pay increasingly harder to earn dollars for intangible media. While I’m confident a small publisher can pull it off, I doubt that the larger companies will be able to pull it off without doing some serious operational cost cutting. It also didn’t escaped my notice when I was a young college student that many industries, media included, have replaced base salary entry level positions with unpaid interns offering college credit. Now, while I can’t speak for my peers, and those who will come after me into the higher education arena, it strikes me that this is both as a clear sign of a media industry in terminal decline and proof that entering related career fields as not being worth academic investment at the college and university level.

And while bigger companies with extensive libraries could tap into those archives, in our very litigious commercial society
