| Yeah, I can help... There was this shitty anime called Clannad After Story...it was so depressing and suicide-inducing that it literally set anime back 10 years... We're still trying to catch up. |
| 2008? Hell if I know bro, they never told me that in world history |
 |
| Unsustainable growth and poor business practices, I suppose. The industry went through a boom, but eventually the dvd audience just wasn't enough to cover the bucketload of releases.

| Well because of one thing. The goddam Americans who caused the economic crash. |

| You see, in light of popular anime like Code Geass, Death Note, and many others, anime studios realized they could never maintain high standards of production. So then anime went to shit. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| 2008 crash? I only know of the one from the lost decade. |
| Internet piracy got so bad we lost Toonami. Not to mention the global financial crisis. |

(279 "programs") and that dropped to 90,445 min. (195 programs) by 2010. Or you can go find the old seasonal charts and see it decline from 40+ shows a season to like 20. |
| It was just after the Cool down period, that preceded a rather long Golden age. It wasn't so muct a crash, as it was, studios needed a break. In anycase though, that was short lived lol, because 2009 is so godly, It's literally a Golden age in of its self, but sadly that year would become known as the year where awesome anime go to hide. This happened because pretty much all of the studios decided to release amazing anime, yet not advertise at all in Japan. |

| Mhhh... So it is a recent shit... I'm sure people who covered it about the masses knows the shit... |
| It probably crashed because Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann had ended and there wasn't anything decent coming out the year thereafter. Luckily for the anime industry, Fairy Tail came out in 2009, which is probably what saved everything and made anime great anime. |
| Anime companies like Genon, Central Park Media, 4kids (Maybe good for a lot of fans. People still lost jobs though) and ADV (Pre-Sentai Filmworks) went down under. When Youtube and Daily Motion became big after 2005, people just upload fan subs and TV recordings of dubs from TV on those web sites. It made it easier for fans to watch things without buying bootleg fan subs or waiting a hour for things to download via Windows Media Player. Other companies like Tokyo Pop, Ubran Vision and Bandai Entertainment also went down under in 2009-2012. |

| I'd start with the Answerman pieces referenced above. If we're talking about the North American market, by the mid-2000's US licensors were paying uneconomic amounts for the rights to distribute anime. Documents filed by ADV in conjunction with a lawsuit showed the company had paid as much as $960,000 for shows like Kurau: Phantom Memory, and over $700K for Air Gear and Pumpkin Scissors. Kurau was a decent show, but it was never going to earn back the $1 million ADV paid for it. At the same time the number of brick-and-mortar stores that sold or rented anime titles began to shrink as competition from online retailers like Amazon increased. With anime being largely a niche market, mainstream retailers like Best Buy and the now-defunct Blockbuster found themselves with excess inventory and became more cautious about which titles they would carry. This limited the potential for impulse purchases from customers browsing the titles on display. Piracy and fansubbing played some role too, of course. Distributors and retailers did not know how to compete with free content. Some companies like Viz stuck to implausible, Japanese-styled business models, releasing shows in four-episode chunks across numerous DVDs. Somehow they believed that Americans would be willing to buy all 74 episodes of Hikaru no Go on nearly twenty discs at $20 or more each. There were a few blockbuster titles like Naruto or Dragon Ball that could be sold on this basis, but the notion that Americans would invest hundreds of dollars to watch kids play an arcane board game was simply ludicrous. These developments led to the release of full-series boxsets, often sold at a discount like Funimation's S.A.V.E. line. Ironically piracy has also fueled pricing strategies like those we see from Aniplex USA and Pony Canyon USA, whose relatively high prices accept the notion that only a small band of collectors will continue to buy discs. Inexpensive legal streaming contributes to that trend as well. It also, of course, brought about the end of hobbyists engaged in English-language fansubbing. What was once a creative endeavor requiring teams of translators, encoders, quality checkers and the like has become the type of mindless, uncreative fansubbing we see from ripoff groups like Horrible. Finally, of course, there was the recession which cut demand for anime all across the world including Japan and key foreign markets like the US. The conjunction of these, and probably other factors led to a few noteworthy bankruptcies like ADV Films and the departure of Japanese subsidiaries like Geneon USA. The recent agreement between Crunchyroll and Funimation represents an attempt to avert a new bubble in rights fees. Competition among the licensors for streaming rights has once again driven up the cost of anime licenses, so CR and Funi have now decided to stop competing and divide up the market between them along the lines of subbed vs. dubbed releases. In economic theory this is called creating a monopsony, a situation where one or a few buyers face a marketplace of competing sellers. By refusing to bid against each other CR and Funi hope to hold down the demands for ever-increasing rights fees from Japanese producers. |

| Japan's economy has been going downhill since the early 90s when the real estate asset bubble popped 2008 was a bad year in general for any economy |
