Survey’s are something that certainly do make an impact in most industries, though many never realize that, and we’ve got one from a very good friend of ours from the last several years. Loy Fruel, who started at Bandai Visual USA before going to Bandai Entertainment and is now back at Bandai Visual, is working on some business research for a graduate project which he’s tying into his time as a marketing guy at Bandai Visual. Essentially, it comes down to this: Anime fan in N. America? Help a researcher and Bandai Visual understand the current anime market! http://tinyurl.com/anime-
If you’ve got a few free minutes, hit it up and share the way you consume anime which could in turn bring more to the market.

I am a graduate student at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California and also currently employed by Bandai Visual Co., Ltd. I am currently working on my graduate research project, which is to determine the current market for Japanese animation in North America (primarily the United States and Canada) to aid in the development of a North American strategy for Bandai Visual Co., Ltd.
I would like you to participate in a short survey regarding North American Japanese animation enthusiasts’ habits, preferences and demographic information. To be eligible to participate, you must reside within North America (primarily the United States and Canada) and be at least 18 years old.While this survey will only take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete, participants are asked to take periodic breaks if necessary to minimize any possible fatigue normally associated with prolonged computer use. Once the survey has been completed, your responses will be saved to be used in analysis in the near future.
By completing the survey, you will not only be helping me to complete my graduate project but you will also be aiding Bandai Visual Co., Ltd. to further understand the North American market as my superiors will be presented with the findings of my research to aid in the development of a new business strategy for North America.

By completing this survey, you have implied that you consent to participate in this research.
