The Evolving Market for Dramatic Adult Anime-Inspired American Animation on Modern Day Television

Like all markets, the market for complex, intelligent, mature animation and/or drama is evolving. Always evolving.

At one point it was Twentieth Century, Fox, Disney, ABC, The WB, NBC, USA (RIP), HBO, and MTV Animation.

Later on came Cartoon Network, Toonami, Adult Swim, FX, G4TechTV, Film Roman, SYFY, Nickelodeon, Jetix for Toon Disney, and even later Disney XD.

These networks have done everything from Deadspace to Aeon Flux. There's a market there. But it's not homogeneous. It's scattered about like golden easter eggs on the channel surfers treasure map landscape. Never all in one place. There's no CONCENTRATED market for Dramatic and Adult Animation with potential action adventure or just action.

These shows have always just been "out there, on the fringe".

Sigh.

Some day.
