Maybe someone never told you, but the Japanese firms do NOT BREAK EVEN ON TV ADS...they BREAK EVEN on the DVD sells.....They HAVE to be priced that high to BREAK EVEN on a production.
When she hits 16...
Show her Revolutionary Girl Utena...
Its the story of a girl who decides she doesn't want to grow up to be a princess...she wants to grow up to be a prince! (she wants to do the saving)
Note the story gets dark.
If you honestly believe the Subtitled community is the majority of the DVD buyers BOY ARE YOU OUTTA TOUCH WITH FANDOM!
Hell our anime CLUB is 90% dub lovers who occasionaly stand subtitles! They have preferred on more than one occaion watching FANDUBS over FANSUBS (this is a group of 50+ at a university.)
ADV would be perfectly happy and making bookoo bucks like they always have since the Japanese do not have the actors/expertese available to make a english version themselves.
And if you honestly think the Fansubs are more accurate I dare you to name the series released in the last 5 years that is true on. Yes they might not have honorifics, but plenty of the Japanese companys REQUIRE them to be removed in hopes of gaining a TV broadcast.
Remember rule #1 in anime:
Nobody screws up anime better than the Japanese. Nobody.
