I know anime in the UK has become a lot more popular in the last few years, with MCM Expo Manchester reaching 100,000 visitors last year and London reaching even more. Lots of smaller cons are opening up too, and are doing pretty well (my town had one at my local team's football stadium/hotel for the first time a couple of months ago, and a lot more people went to that than I thought they would).

Other European countries I thought were doing well with it too, namely France. They have plenty of cons, and I was under the impression Spain were pretty into anime given all the Spanish sub groups floating around. France even dubbed over Kirarin Revolution (an idol anime), and that became pretty popular at the time, despite idol culture only really being prominent in Asia.

But I don't think LL has a European handler anyway, which is probably why we don't have any announcements yet.

Still holding out on the thought that somebody could open their eyes and see all that cash dollar dollar money waiting for them on the other side of licensing LL.
