Without Carl's efforts in the 1980's to bring series like Robotech for American television I don't think Anime would have been as widespread as it is now. Whether you agree with his methods or not, he was an important figure in bringing this art form to a wider audience.

That's a damn shame.. I had never heard of him, but anyone who put forth serious effort to bring about awareness of anime in the '80s did a great service to the industry. Nowadays many kids and adults all over the world enjoy anime.
