The artsy titles di very well longer term for me. Tutu, Ninja Scroll, Neo Tokyo and many more do well for me. They are not the home run or even tripple but are a steady base hit. The artsy titles tend to sell longer as many populer titles tend to sales spike higher. Companies need to see money being made one base hit at a time, many baseball players made careers doing this;p Another point is the lack of interest in movies & OVA's it seems, by the main DVD stores. If the product is not on the shelf, it cannot be baught. Promotion, store, cable or anywhere is lacking, how does a person know how good a show really is? The industry itself needs to get a way of showing the shows to people. Cartoon Network used to do a very nice job of doing some movies & OVA's but those days seem to be lost.
