Decline in anime sales

The long slide in American anime sales nearly halted in Q1 2009, with only a 2% decline in sales of anime DVDs vs. the year ago period, according to an article in the new ICv2 Insider’s Guide #66. That 2% slide is a substantial improvement from 2008, when anime sales dropped 11% vs. 2007. Consolidation of anime companies is also continuing, according to the report, with FUNimation’s market share topping 40% in Q1 2009.
