Interesting article on Anime
An interesting article on anime from the Japan Times.
Kind of ties in with the "Sad State of Anime" thread. "Exporting animation a huge Japanese success story" http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/...20040707f1.htm Quote:

Fansubbing will never go extinct. It will simply change and adapt. |

What I meant when I said "Take a hit" that places that distribute unlicenced anime will no longer provide downloads, regardless of its adaptation it would still be going more underground and less credible than AS. Since I as a rule refrain from DLing series that are licenced, as some other anime fans do, it would be a "hit" to both the subbers that want to contiune subbing unlicenced series and the fans that would have more trouble getting it. Especially as companies are beginning to sue everything in view.

Well, i think this is extremly bad for foreigners like myself.
If the series is licensed it will be harder to get, and it takes ages until someone releases it over here in germany. So i would have either get it of the unhonest subbing groups ( but it would be still legal for me i guess, because they are not licensed in germany )... or import the DVD's at a immensly high cost that i most likly couldn't carry... *sigh* And it will probably sky-high the amount of bootlegged dvds sold over eBay etc. |

We seem to neglect one important fact though: There are positive consequences that come with the rising popularity of animes: + more anime will be sold --> anime can be offered cheaper + competition between studios--> better VA's and subbers + since the USA "dictates" nearly every new trend, other Western countries will follow suit and license animes themselves; I mean it works with music, fashion and movies, why not with anime? And so on and so on ^_^ |

Nein! Es gibt zu viel gutes Bier dort!
Actually, I think that since the biggest source of english subbed anime is america, then like anything that's been banned here, it will simply find a new home in another country and continue perty much unchanged. |
