So anyone got articles about animu from the news? I need some sources for an assignment and some of the sources must be published offline like the New Yorker or the NY Times... (I'm looking at you Dev, I hope you got something)
I'm writing a research paper where I'm allowed to choose any topic my teacher approves of and finds interesting (which he did). I'm writing about the potential loss of quality when foreign media is imported, localized, and dubbed.
I dug up some material from the last page of one of my essays in 2005.

Save for the Online Interview (Which you can request by mailing Mr. Poitras at his website) and the books I listed, those that I've listed are good analytical websites about Japanese Animation in general. Perhaps you can use some of these sources to strengthen your arguments.
By the way, you picked a shitty thesis to find reputable sources on as there are tons of offline anime related news out there, just none of it about exporting it overseas...
I kind of have to agree; you limited your scope pretty badly to the point where you're specializing in a very specific aspect of the genre (Personal gain in tastes and economic stress behind production). I would have just kept it to "Stereotypical views of foreign media", or something broader in that aspect.
