The ""Evangelion"-era" trend continued into the 2000s with "Evangelion"-inspired mecha anime such as "RahXephon" (2002) and "Zegapain" (2006) – "RahXephon" was also intended to help revive 1970s-style mecha designs. The number of anime productions began to decline after peaking in 2006 due to alternative forms of entertainment, less ad revenue, and other reasons, with TV Tokyo remaining one of the only channels airing anime shows. Even so, anime began entering U.S. homes like never before, with fans able to get their hands on Japanese-language originals of animes they watched, thanks to the internet.
