Honestly, the anime fan base in American isn't really that big as you would think. Sure, it is popular but not THAT popular.
Why you think that toonanim and midnight run no longer runs on cartoon network with such awesome animes as Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, Gundam W, and of course, Dragonball Z. Cartoon network(owned by Warner Bros.) is an american company running mostly american cartoons so...yeah it's actually hard to find anymore anime on the american tv than you would find it on the japanese tv. there are ALOT of animation studios in Japan than there are in America. Japan is the main homeland of anime, videogames, electronics, etc for many years. Anime is part of the japanese cluture and won't be easily accepted to the American audience. *shrugs* It's the way it is with cultures these days.
I love anime myself too and been into it since I was a teenager but frankly, I prefer mangas over anime anyway. stories are written better in mangas than anime.
I am currently reading mangas such as Negima, probably one of the longest running mangas I started reading since 2004.
