Whaddya mean?  I took that FROM others' statements -- statements from
people within the industry...

   You didn't get the "there has to be further slashing of the number of
   shows" from any "industry people", that's your opinion based on your
   interpretation of what you've heard, modified by your own biases
   about the "industry".  In short, your opinions.

*sigh*

David Williams, ADV Films, Anime Boston:

"Looking at the bigger, industry-wide picture, in Williams' view, both
the sheer number of anime DVDs that companies are releasing, and the
typical price points will have to decrease. while, as the Japanese
anime production and licensing firms become fully aware of American
market conditions, licensing prices will begin dropping."

And he isn't the only one. The only way you can stop oversaturation
of DVD titles is to understand that most of these titles should never
have been made, especially given market conditions.

To that end:

And, if one of the main problems is oversaturation, wouldn't that make
it obvious that there are just too many shows made?

   If your premise is your opinion, then anything derived from that is
   also your opinion.

IT'S NOT JUST MY OPINION... Geezus Christ with a pogostick... Do you
even read anything which doesn't agree with your view of the world??

   Apparently the only way you can be happy in your miserable world
   is to make everyone else around you just as miserable.

Well, the only way I could be happy in the world would be to leave it.

   Then add pity to the scorn I feel for you.

Fine...
