if it was individual show of course the fad will come to pass, just that there are some that lived their time and still
here, titles like DBZ, CCS, SailorM, are all classics of its era and still is. Even today, people are still going for
them.
This mandate and presumption of an expiry date is inaccurate, a trend dies when no one is following it, as long as there
are certain individuals who spread the word and continue to seed the trend, then there will always be a trend.
Remember that one thing, when you have a trend, the most commonly known would have to be a simple trend, this sort of
trend die easy, like fashion trends, they die fast and go fast.
However, for anime, it is endlessly being promoted and with each new series, a publicity is extended to the public and
consider how easy advertisements are nowadays, it is harder NOT to capture the market of potential new consumers for the
anime products.
I don't believe anime will last forever however, until then, there must be enough support from newcomers (which has
always been there), and from old-timers, the consent and willingness to support the new.
So go and watch your anime already!
