Geneon imploded in America was among other things, but it was primarily Justin Sevakis.

Internetz and updates… well, it sucks everywhere in this respect (the delay that is). Whether a channel licenses a decent series or even the DVD companies, the delay is too long. Of course, if we (fans) were so oblivious to the uses of the Internet it would make the stuff seem new. OMG its NEWWW!

Similar to NEWs. When we want news we can get it, the updated stuff. We aren’t waiting for some company to license it and publish it in a translated manner.

So, currently, I’m on the verge of ordering direct from JP the recent Shugo Tokumaru album. This album is going to be released globally sometime in 2008, but why wait, the distributor ships Int’l. Without delays, I can attain a media of choice. Anime has an extremely different way about it, and it isn’t possible to have this buying power; it is serialized.

The delay from a first episode airing to a DVD release has become reasonable in Japan, but taking the first episode airing to a Western DVD release it becomes very unreasonable. The information is out of date. In this Age of Information, this sort of bottleneck will not do. I could contrast the uselessness to that of having 100Mbps NICS and a 10Mbps non-switching hub… it hurts the information.

Thinking about it this way, what is the relevance of that 1991 Newtype? Aside from archival qualities (if any), it does not provide anything new (information). Some things grow money as they age, like the newspaper prints of the first KSC Orbiter space launch… or even the Apollo launches, they are antiques, documenting historically important details of our humanity. Many, if not most, things pass in time without growing a value, instead they depreciate. What is the cost of that licensed, depreciated N.American DVD?

I feel you’re position in this matter is reasonable. Yes.

now that 1991 Newtype magazine… the only way people would buy that is for the “freebie” that will be included, which will still not justify that price, ever. It’s supposed to depreciate, for goodness’ sake! (I guess they’re trying to trick people who have never ever seen Newtype o__O)

I am very sure that the anime companies do not give a damn about our country. However, if the industry implodes, or if the production of fansubs is stopped, we will still get affected as anime viewers. Worse for us is that there is no other better alternative than fansubs. As I have stated, we have no original DVDs. If ever they are sold, they are sold incompletely. I am not going all emo and crying foul. I can’t even do anything but hope.

@jp

I really do not know. It would take long before fansub production in countries like ours become penalized, though. The companies have to go through all the bureaucratic red tape, and I assure you, we have tons of that to go all around the world.

Frankly, I wrote this post not because of going with the trend. I was moved by Jeff’s post, but it seemed so American, so Western that I felt I had to present our side: the side of a third-world country mired in debt and corruption. I don’t blame the companies, and I don’t blame the fansubbers. It is not drama I want to produce, I really just wanted to present our own predicaments as to why we *need* fansubs if anime will remain appreciated in this country.

“Besides, the act of merely DLing/torrenting the episodes themselves then burning them onto DVDs is far cheaper than buying the originals… sadly enough. Let’s face it. We’re pretty cheap when it comes to these things. Or at least some of us.”

I am not cheap. I will buy original DVDs if they will assure me of a complete series. But I agree, simply burning the episodes themselves is a lot cheaper than buying the originals. And because we *are* in a third-world country, what seems a good deal for Westerners is an exorbitant price for us.

It is alienating when one sees what is supposedly free work sold as pirated material INSIDE an anime convention. Especially when you’ve worked on the series.

@usagijen

Worse, without fansubs, we won’t watch anime. And this is a fact. With the rehashes on TV, the umpteenth time Slam Dunk is airing AGAIN, we would simply lose interest in anime.

Hero is a channel that isn’t updated when it comes to anime. Worse, the dubs of the series are atrocious, and they piss me off more than entertain me when I watch them.

Note that that was a 1991 Newtype manga for about $18. I was all WTF, this should even be worth less than a dollar!

imported authentic DVDs are a tad expensive indeed, which is why most of us resort to downloading instead. I wouldn’t mind buying DVDs of a certain series which I will never get tired of, even after watching it for N times – the shows that are really “for keeps.” But of course animes like those are hard to come by, or so that’s what I’ve ingrained in my mind, in order to avoid buying them =P

I’m less picky in terms of buying mangas, but I still choose the ones “for keeps” as much as possible.

now about that $18 Newtype magazine… goodness o__O I remember buying Newtype JP from our local stores at about $10-$15 each issue, but now that they no longer sell them, the only way to get it is through online stores, which is just roughly the same price.

Besides, the act of merely DLing/torrenting the episodes themselves then burning them onto DVDs is far cheaper than buying the originals… sadly enough. Let’s face it. We’re pretty cheap when it comes to these things. Or at least some of us. :3

Last thing… it does feel odd when you see a fansub or a scanlation being sold right in front of you in a convention or something similar… especially when you helped create that work… D:
