Vision, and Central Park Media and its imprints, achieved fairly substantial commercial success and went on to become major players in the now very lucrative American anime market. Others, such as AnimEigo, achieved limited success. Many companies created directly by Japanese parent companies did not do as well, most releasing only one or two titles before completing their American operations. Licenses are expensive, often hundreds of thousands of dollars for one series and tens of thousands for one movie. [107] The prices vary widely; for example, Jinki: Extend cost only $91,000 to license while Kurau Phantom Memory cost $960,000. [107] Simulcast Internet streaming rights can be cheaper, with prices around $1,000–2,000 an episode,[108] but can also be more expensive, with some series
costing more than US$200,000 per episode. [109] The anime market for the United States was worth approximately $2. 74 billion in 2009. [110] Dubbed animation began airing in the United States in 2000 on networks like The WB and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. [111] In 2005, this resulted in five of the top ten anime titles having previously aired on Cartoon Network. [111] As a part of localization, some editing of cultural references may occur to
better follow the references of the non-Japanese culture.
