Anime is made in Japan so the creators only consider the Japanese audience. It becoming mainstream in america wont affect it in Japan, so we dont need to worry about anything changing.

I think there is a worry that asian movies, games and anime will be heavily influenced by the west.
For example:
The anime style of Final Fantasy VII shifted to a more western style in VIII
The great Fudoh war was only directed by Takashi Miike as they thought it would help it sell abroad.
I also believe that Western companies heavily financed films like Ghost in the Shell, which runs the risk that they will try to appeal to western audiences.
Also I feel it's a shame many asian directors have tried to make it big in the west, Stephen Chow, John Woo etc as their work has suffered. It's not too bad yet as it's still at the early stages but it's a worrying trend.
