Anime Question

Do you think anime is Dying?

What I mean by this is do you think it is in trouble. Because certain companies have stopped dubbing anime in English and no longer distribute it in the U.S. Company's like Bandai Entertainment, Shonen Jump and ADV films. I'm not complaining about piracy and how its destroying the industry but it does have me concerned about the future of manga and anime, and I was just wondering what you guys think about it.

No, if anything its becoming more popular. I think alot of the smaller production companies cant or couldn't compete with the larger franchise companies like Viz Media and Funimation...blah blah blah.
As it becomes more of a demand prices for its rights and distribution go up as well putting smaller companies outta business. Some like Aniplex, have started (from what I've noticed) distributing their own anime an using smaller, less expensive, companies for dubs.
Also some companies such as Tokyo Pop, went bankrupt due to the disasters in Japan (that's my understanding anyway)
Hope this helps answer your question :)

Its not going stop in Japan because it is so widely popular there, but I'm worried about the distribution to the Americas and to European fans.

I don't think it is, and I don't think that it will die out anytime soon, due to the fact that it's so popular. Although the whole world is basically in a financial crisis, I don't think it'll get so bad to the point that the anime business will go bankrupt or something.
