Then again, they probably held some degree of prestige beyond "trashy indie movie production company" there. Namco funded the Sgt. Kabukiman movie, after all. Troma was probably as big as almost any studio in Japan in 1988. Japan is small and what constitutes a media empire or a major motion picture studio is just puny compared to even a major UHF station in the US back then. Teenagers were painting cels for Totoro in their rooms after doing their homework. This was a long time ago and this stuff was considered so below Disney or even Hanna Barbara back then that nobody would want it. Also, in parts of 80s USA you’d get beat up just for being Japanese back then. Hell, you’d get beat up just for being Korean and therefore mistaken for Japanese. Video games never came out with 24 symbol Japanese names written in three type faces. They usually scrubbed that stuff out of the game completely. I don’t know how much this had an affect on Troma level stuff, probably none. Columbia was bought by Sony around this then. American cars fell below %50 of the market...there was a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment at the time despite extremely good relations otherwise..

This is when you get effed up s**t. This is also why I like Discotek, you can tell the people involved have a real passion for what they are doing.
