Oh, is that so? Now that makes me wonder what her reasoning behind blocking those soft drinks must be. (Is it every soft drink? I've never been to Universal Studios since the Harry Potter stuff got finished.)

There's over 700 Pokémon, some just don't appear as much.
Clefairy, Hypno, Exeggcute and probably a few more Pokémon haven't appeared in just as long, doesn't mean they're banned.

I wonder if there are Young Adult authors out there that are also anime fans, and they are willing to get their work adapted into an anime TV series especially if it ends up being popular in Japan.

Some of your comments before this point are interesting, but at this point you're soapboxing. And we don't allow soapboxing.
Please keep that in mind for future posts.

Well the Deltora Quest anime is the closest thing you describe. Other then that, no.

I'm sure this has been mentioned ~80 times already, but that "don't sit too close to the TV and all that good stuff" warning still absolutely occurs on Japanese television, and it's relatively common, especially during "kids' blocks". I'm pretty sure it's like mandatory during Super Hero Time (the block that shows Kamen Rider and Super Sentai), and several others, especially the really blatant kids' anime, like Pokémon and whatnot.
I don't think I've ever seen such warnings on Western television, though. At most, it's just a "PSA" that stands as part of the show itself.

Fairy Tail has that warning at the beginning of a lot of episodes (all excluding the first 15 or so I believe).

I seem to recall Natsu from Fairy Tail giving this warning at the beginning of episodes not too long ago. I don't know if this was kept for home video releases though. |
I have the collection sets and its definitely on there.

About western YA fiction getting adapted for anime, it has to be translated to Japanese first, then make significant sales or fanbase over there to be considered for animation adaptation. Just because author is a fan of anime, manga, game, or whatever otaku stuffs, there is no guarantee that his work attract eyeballs as there are hundreds of Japanese YA authors who does the same thing.

REALLY? Hollywood would/dump/not pick up a project just because there was a Japanese cartoon of it? I don't see how that would affect their bottom line at all.
Regarding the Poke-shock warning, the only ones I remember were for comedy shows, where the warning was always delivered as a gag. It suggested the animators were not taking the thing entirely seriously.

Pardon my confusion, Key, but what was my soapboxing about? AFAIK I was merely pointing out that the Japanese consumers don't necessarily ascribe to their industry's "atoning for the drug sins" thing. I believe that subject has only come up a few times.

I suppose they would be concerned that the potential audience would look at the movie and think, "Been there, seen that," if there is already an anime. Even if the adaptations bring different things to the table, the more times something gets adapted the less "new" it feels.

It could affect merchandising. If you are a Hollywood studio you might want to control not just what is being sold in order to maximize cashing in, but also its look and feel. Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones franchises don't just sell DVDs and BDs. There are books (with new covers tying in with tv & film), artbooks, toys, replica weapons, etc. Hollywood does sell its stuff internationally and they might not necessarily want Anime merchandise competing even if its just for the pennies. Of course the main point was that the payday for the creator would be larger from Hollywood than Japan anyways and that's not even considering if the creator is even aware of anime as a vehicle for telling their story.

And yet they keep recycling Superman, Spiderman, etc., etc.
