fun question for 2000s anime fans: when did you realize the anime bubble had popped?
for me, it was batman: gotham knight. IIRC it was first hyped as anime, but by the time it made it to release (2008) mention of anime had been scrubbed and replaced with "the world's most visionary animators" ha!
@miketoole.comthey did dub it-- it was done at Ocean.
Back in 2020 I asked Jason DeMarco why this series never ran on cartoon network US. He couldn't remember, just thought it kinda fell by the wayside. At the time anime's popularity was heading into a valley of sorts; wasnt long before the bubble popped.
