Perhaps more on topic, does the success of the movie make it more or less likely that the follow-on will be another movie or another series?

There seems to be a lot of interest in the anime industry right now in making more anime movies, because I think they see this as a way of increasing revenue (since people pay to see it in theatres, and will pay again when it arrives on DVD/BD). It also helps them deal with production timing issues given the ongoing shortage of skilled staff. So it wouldn't surprise me very much if they're considering more movies for the future of the franchise; of course, time will tell.

Better point - I'd be willing to bet a decent amount of money that the average fansub viewer spends more money on real DVDs and Manga than the average non-fansub viewer. I certainly wouldn't have bought all those volumes of Kimi ni Todoke if I hadn't seen episodes of a show that aren't licensed in my region first. I highly doubt I would have bought the boxed sets of Haruhi if I had never seen the show first. And so on. Given that, I wonder if they aren't likely to actually start to minimize their market if they really delay everything by six months to a year. For high profile titles like Haruhi and Evangelion you can probably get away with it. But for most other series, I suspect what little publicity there was when it released would be gone and forgotten by the time the DVD/BD becomes available. And let me get off my soap box now before I REALLY get started

And really, the benefit of the movie approach is less about the international market than it is about the domestic market. And in the case of the domestic market, most of the established fanbase is already there due to the source material. So the whole "delay" factor is not an issue in that case. Given the collapse in the North American market over the past few years, it's not too surprising that they aren't putting our interests first.

a) people who will buy it in any case b) people who will not buy it in any case c) people who decide not to buy it after they see a fansub d) people who decide to buy it after they see a fansub This is the case with any property, but the ratios differ from title to title. Most people automatically fall into b). It's sad but true. People are cheap, and with the anonymity that the internet gives, there's not even any moral compunction to give back to the creators, since for most their only moral compunction on this level of "sin" boils down to guilt avoidance. You are correct that some benefit might be gained by cutting the time between initial broadcast (or movie release) and first home release, but at least for movies, the longer it's in theaters, the higher the eventual profit margin is and the longer the publicity lasts. And home release dates kill ticket sales, so there has to be some time between the two. There are some times where the existence of a fansub will give you more of d) than c), but not many. Primarily just new or little-known series that are very good. For a number of reasons, primarily that Disappearance is well-known yet nowhere near an ideal introductory story for new fans, c) is unequivocally going to be a larger group than d). Very few people who haven't seen any Haruhi already are going to start with the movie, and as good as the story may be, those who do might even be so confused by it that they don't bother finishing it (it is 2 1/2 hours long). And as Relentless Flame suggested, that crappy canrip that doesn't exist and that we're not talking about isn't going to be the "keeper version" in any fan's collection.

I'm not going to spoil myself with the poor quality of the camrip, so... yeah. Determination, let's go!

I'm not sure whether to discuss it here or not, but oh wells. I recently read an article that says the Japanese anime industry is in a crisis because of they outsource so much of their work to Korea and China. As a result, they are becoming more skilled and will probably start coming up with their own anime. For now the anime industry is limited to Japan, but perhaps we'll see Korean and Chinese ones soon. |

This will probably be the movie on which I test that Japan/US shared BluRay region...

The upside to watching a camrip version online is that I got to see it with my far-away girlfriend. <3 Even if we both had a DVD, it'd be hard to watch synchronously.
I sure wouldn't mind having a movie delivery system where I paid for me and someone else to watch a movie streamed online together. It'd save on the hassle of having to live in the same city as your friends.

The movie was really something. Even after several times watching it, certain scenes were just as awesome as when I first saw them. Definitely going in my (now-pulled-out-of-my-ass) top 5 anime movies list.
Can't wait for the BD/DVD release! |
