As part of the many hats I have worn in the past, I have evaluated intellectual property or IP to understand what would sell. The fun part about this is that you actually get to read the screenplays, pitch docs, and concept work that goes along with it. If it is an existing IP, you have an excuse to buy the DvD collection, Book, or whatever median that IP is published in.
As a huge anime fan, I want to write my objective option on what types of anime currently in Japan may sell. I know video game companies and cartoon distribution networks have started seriously looking into importing anime when Naruto became a huge hit a few years ago. Today Anime gets licensed to the US even before its created.
As a fan I also what to write my own reviews of Anime, which has nothing to do with market potential but a lot to do with my personal interest.
The most important thing you must do when evaluating anime or a game is to separate your personal and private interest.
