Thanks so much, @bryan-imhoff. I get the suspicion that you're right: ANIA showed up just before the industry pulled a "hold my beer" and dove off the cliff. It likely was bad timing, more than anything else, that laid them low. More's the pity, since from the videos it seemed like these stories generated multi-cultural curiosity at least, if not multi-cultural interest, from comic book readers at the time, given the response of the kid interviewed at 1:55 in the first video.
