I can see how you get that and I apologize for the obscurity...I thought of it well....right then and there :).

Anyway, what I was getting at is that in the end it's a moot point, anime is created for the japanese..a Japanese creator creates a Japanese Animation for Japanese People. Although there are instances where I'm sure the creator wants to say/show the entire world, I think for the most part it is for his own people.

With relation to the sub/dub war, I guess what I was getting at is that anime was never meant to be dubbed because...it was never intended (there's that word again) to come here. Now from an economic standpoint it makes sense, so (shrug). Also, with the dub/sub thing...my main point (and always will be) is that of purity and original intent. I like things as close to the original as possible...plain and simple.

Sorry for the confusion.
