At least in the US (and to a lesser extent Canada, the UK and some parts of Europe), it's actually easier for non-Japanese anime fans to consume anime legally than it is in Japan, due to all the streaming options now.

I get the impression that the industry survives by paying its animators terrible wages and tremendously overworking them...

Are we back to pre-world economic crisis yet? The numbers dropped off after the mid-00s peak, and have climbed again. Not sure if we've passed the 2006/7 peak yet?

Zettai Ryouki.

Who needs all these giant intimidating monsters when you have an electric squirrel?

3 different age divisions. Junior, Senior and Master I think. Not sure of exact splits age wise.

That Porco cosplay seems to turn up everywhere. Saw him doing the sane thing at another Cosplay event earlier in the year.

I think it's Avdol from JoJos Bizzare Adventure.

Who remembers when Shinkai made a short movie on his iMac in his spare time and voiced it along with his then fiancée?

Honestly, when they do explain it, it's not been much better. (Like the ridiculously quick timeline required for the Vers)

My Little Hyrule Warrior Can't Be This Cute!

Ah, so it's not just me. Will have to wait and see if they can fix Kinja. (Until the next time it breaks.)

It's one of my absolute favourite manga. I suspect he doesn't want an adaptation done because it might lose something in the transition.

Well they do have the rest of the world to take over (not that we're seeing that...). I'm just going to assume they only have a limited number of mechs with Aldnoah drives, otherwise they should be stomping humanity with squads of them.

In Mushi-shi for most of the kids roles they cast children to play them (and old people for the old people roles). You can sort of tell they're not as polished as older people putting on kids voices.

Kinja seems to be broken right now and won't display the image properly... http://www.haruhisuzumiya.net/wp-content/upl…

Nozaki-kun is a Shonen series which pokes fun at Shojo cliches. I must therefore assume Sagebu is a Shojo series.

It might just be one of the things where I don't enjoy the humour, so that side of the show doesn't do anything for me. If I did enjoy it, then the switch ups might be more tolerable.

From the way manga readers have been talking, I think we can expect more in the future.

I think he never wants a Yotsuba anime made.
