User blog comment:Takashichea/Weekly Sket Dance: Ep. 76 - To Build a Better Academy/@comment-4800771-20121102083539

Sorry guys and gals, if I confuse you with comments on ambitions of seeing Sket Dance coming to America.

A user in Anime Vice brought up this point in the same report as this one. Things are not cut and dry in the anime business.

"Plus, if this show gets dub in America, the show will get in trouble with the younger audience."

''Are you assuming this show can be on TV if it had a dub? Because I highly doubt a show like this could go anywhere on TV. If anything, it'll go straight to DVD or Blu-ray and it'll only attract the audience that had already seen the show and would buy it on home video.''

Well can you imagine ANY other family in America taking the time on a certain day of the week between their schedules like work, school, chores, errands, meetings, etc., to watch something like Sket Dance over say, Wheel of Fortune, Dancing with the Stars, or Wipeout?

''Also, you would need to ask yourself how exactly it would be possible? It's not just a matter of anime on TV is declining. It's also a matter of the fact the networks that still air any anime have made up their mind of what kind of anime they intend to air. The only anime shows that could fit anywhere on TV as is would be toyetic anime on saturday mornings on Cartoon Network, DBZ and... I guess Monsuno on Nicktoons if that counts, and adult action-oriented content that would fit the new Toonami block old or new (and even then, that's according to what Jason DeMarco would approve). From what I understand about the nature of a show like Sket Dance, can you honestly imagine that fitting to one of those options?''
