versus the 2000s is nothing short of staggering, and for much of the 2000s (particularly in the latter half) there was DEFINITELY a pretty major and overwhelming downswing in general fan and licensing industry focus on mature titles in favor of children's/Shonen (and Ecchi/Moe). The disparity in the level of general anime fandom and licensing attention and focus given towards "mature" anime throughout the 80s and 90s in the U.S. That guess would be VERY much stone cold factually incorrect. My guess is more mature material got as much focus as it got before. Wed 8:46 pmI have a hard time believing the industry moved away from more adult material and put all its focus on what you deem to be tripe.
