Yes, quaity always goes with success, if you measure quality by my standards. I have no idea what standards you use, but they don't make any sense to me.Certainly, I find it amusing that you deny your status as an elitist, when you make claims that the only thing that is popular is mediocrity and meaningless drivel. It is just another way of saying that your tastes are "better" than everyone else's, and that you are the brilliant source of truth regarding what has quality.Trust me, I have seen some real drivel in my life. Naruto isn't that.I don't know why you think I like Big Macs, though... I prefer home-cooked meals. Much batter tasting.Cowboy Bebop is original now? Does original mean "Ruin Explorer likes it"? Sorry, but it easily fits into the classic "Picaresqe" genre that predates the idea of the novel, and blends it with half a dozen common anime tropes. Nothing original at all, other than some setting elemetns (but that hardly counts these days). It is fun, though. FLCL, on the other hand, is just a classic coming of age story filled to the brim with manic energy (probably inspired by Excel Saga) and surrealistic and comic elements. Also very good, but not original. At least, not any more original than Naruto. yes, there is lots of crap. However, for your other question, the answer is no. Most anime reaching the US is taken from the 10%, not the 90%. It is the quality stuff that gets brought over.</blockquote>
