This isnt something you can easily provide a citation. Think of it rationally though. Would anyone in the west give a shit about Madoka to the extent they do now if we had to wait years for release due to a non existent fansubbing community? Why would the movies be aired in theaters if nobody gave a shit?

"Casuals" and normalfags represent the bulk of western anime fans and regardless of whether you like or dislike them they're still the reason why shit thats good for us happens. Anime is an easily consumable, varied medium, that can be streamed online for free or very cheaply. If people can't stream it then they will start to care less since not every show is officially or "officially" done by funi, cr, aniplex, etc.

Anon you must live up to your destiny. Save the world

>>111164767
Casuals usually use Hulu and CR though, and are willing to wait. So I don't see your point entirely. The fansubbing community was built on hardcore fans watching countless shows a season. For casuals as soon as an easier way to watch it comes around, they go for that. It's why Netflix and Hulu both exploded and led to everyone "binge-watching". It was right in front of them for, in the case of Hulu, just a few ads.

And back in the day, even though people had to wait a few months or years word of mouth got around pretty quickly when a VHS release happened.

The thing is we don't know an alternate world of licensed anime on TV without fansubs. It's known fansubbing, and the ease of getting it, killed a lot of the licensing companies and took anime off TV for the most part. If there were no fansubs would anime have grown through TV broadcasts and rental video stores as it did in the 90s? And would that growth in US popularity still have snowballed the way it did? We'll never know.

>>111164767
>"Casuals" and normalfags represent the bulk of western anime fans and regardless of whether you like or dislike them they're still the reason why shit thats good for us happens.

Anime being imported and subbed to the west happened long before casuals got wind of it and worked fine. With the rise of CR fansubbing has become increasingly squeezed which is a bad thing - there used to be variety in translations meaning choice and certain groups with affinities toward certain genres and hence knew better how to make good tailored translations have been eradicated or lost interest.

Even if there was several days or weeks/months delay as many of us remember it never dampened our spirits. Also many niche anime which don't get casualfag exposure nor ever will get interest are still subject to the whims of fansub groups because crunchyshit won't pick them up (e.g. Hyouge Mono).

>>111165023

XDCC. I don't torrent anyway since I'm not sure if my college wifi allows it.

>>111164988
You do realize that there's 4 blurays there, right?
LoGH has 110 episodes.
Around 27 episodes on each BD.
Let's get the average price of 750 dollars.
750/27 = ~28 dollars. You're paying around 28 dollars for each episode.

This. I dont want to sound entitled or anything but for an industry as niche as anime for otaku they should be glad theres some minor interest elsewhere.

If people back home are buying lemonade for $2 and you learn you can sell lemonade overseas for a $0.75 and still make a profit because there some guys who bootleg lemonade thus creating a small market and a slight demand you should go for it. But if you get greedy and not only try to shut those guys down but also try to sell it for $2 maybe they'll just loose interest and go back to drinking orange juice like they always have. After all, lemonade isnt made for them.

Then why does CR make money?

The old days we were forced to buy a DVD or VHS to see if we liked it. Either that or drive around to countless Blockbusters and their ilk to find hopefully volume 1 somewhere. I have no nostalgia about these days. Fansubbing came along and made it more accessible, and now streaming has picked up that torch and carried it further. I feel like a lot of the people getting so bothered by "needing to pay for anime" generally are products of the endless summer and didn't know what life was like 10-12 years ago.

>>111165403
Jews don't go after Jews, it's in the Torah

>>111165494
Thats not the point dumbass. Not everything is provided by the legitimate providers. Furthermore without the ease of streaming fansubbed anime those legitimate stream sites wouldnt exist in the first place because the owners wouldnt be very aware that was something people would be into and the people themselves wouldnt even give a shit about anime.

The average streamer is the average western anime fan.

Hmm,

This argument worked 6 or 7 years ago when anime streaming was in its infnacy, but not anymore. Most anime airing are streamed from official sources nowadays around the same time as the Japanese air. Fansubbing has become unnecessary in sustaining the popularity of anime.

>>111165735
Oh yeah. Those were dark days for anime.

>>111165665
I doubt ISPs are going to be able to do much if you encrypt your torrent traffic. They'll know you're torrenting, but not WHAT you're torrenting.

Shit's hilarious. Good way to waste an afternoon.

>>111165753
So because something was always done through piracy it should continue to be that way even though it's apparent the more legitimate option is working?

Yes the streaming sites showed it could be done, they played an important role in history. Just as the old VHS trading did before video stores came into existence, and DVD burning and torrents did before streaming sites. It's the natural progression of things.

And, yes, them not having everything is a big issue but that's not something that is going to hinder the exposure to anime (just certain anime) for a large part of the population. What it means, of course, is more and more anime becomes readily available through streaming means.

Even with Netflix not everything is on there, but it still gets plenty of loyal subscribers. Hell Seinfeld isn't on there and people are content waiting for it to show up. I think you're underestimating the consumer in some ways.

Sure. We basically cut out the middleman and everyone is happy. It's not like anime studios are payed on a 'per viewer' basis anyway - they reclaim money via merchandise. The idea that western audience are eating into studio profits because they 'pirate' anime is ridiculous.

The only ones who lose out are normalfags who use those streaming sites in the first place.

It's a big issue, think of all the good anime you'd missed just because CR doesn't have it.

>So because something was always done through piracy

A long time ago, when fansubbing was for fans, by fans, and when the Japanese jews are concentrated targeting Japan only no one calls fansubbing piracy.

It got only called piracy when jews thought that anime marketing outside Japan can be profitable.

No - you misunderstand. I meant that some faggot always posts some nes story from Japan about tehm cracking down on whatever (loli, streaming, uploading' and claiming 'it's happening' by extended hyperbole on it's ripple effect on the industry) Maybe they don't come out every other month, but some faggot on /a/ will try and start a thread this way and these kinds of threads are what pop up fairly often (maybe every other month was an exaggeration) but we do get several a year from what I remember.

>To make matters worse Putin has now issued a reward to whoever manages to crack Tor

Top fucking kek, implying that will actually do anything.

I honestly wouldn't care that much if there were actually a proper business in the anime industry. They don't fucking know how to monetize it, then they get mad when no one buys it. No one in their right mind is paying hundreds of dollars for blu-rays, it's fucking idiocy. You can keep that for otaku collectors, but why the fuck not put out "standard editions" that just have all the episodes without any extras for a reasonable price ($60 max)? The only reason otaku are the only ones supporting the industry are because they're the only ones willing to pay those ridiculous prices.

As for the rest, Crunchyroll is a step in the right direction, but it needs competition badly. Hell, maybe Daiz should start his own subscription site that actually gives you downloads instead of shitty streaming and recruit from current fansub groups or something. The reason Crunchy is so bad is because they can get away with it.

tl;dr, if Japan knew how to sell its anime, it would sell. Piracy isn't going to fix the fact that they can't monetize for shit.

>>111166138
They already do that now. Japanese government whining isn't going to make things any worse. This changes absolutely nothing. Some pussy sites might get scared and close down, maybe, but others will just pick up the slack. The fanbase is too entrenched to ever stop what we are doing. This is just pissing into the wind.

Big robots, ninjas, androids, cute girls and vigilante teams were a trademark of 90's popular culture. Anime most fucking certainly pandered to the mainstream. It found an audience in the millions of fans of power rangers and other sunday morning cartoons.

And 99% of them has never pay for it.

>>111168235
Interesting interpretation of Japan. How long have you lived there?

>>111168221
That was G Gundam, actually

>>111164848
>yesadia
There's your problem, they bloat prices.

>>111168221
You just described G Gundam.

>>111168203
You fucking moron. Unless you use a different IP 24/7 they will always know who you are regardless of whether you have a social media or not. Unless you're an illegal immigrant with not photo, no home and no SS of any kind only then would they not know who you are.

I'm genuinely being paranoid and scared here.

Someone comfort me.

>>111167930
Besides a lot of the anime running in the 90's were 10-20 year old reruns. So they most certainly had an audience from before.

>>111168374
You don't deserve it. Cower in fear and curse your own lack of power.

>>111168374
What are you some kind of faggot or something?

>>111168373
Well, what I meant is, since I'm not constantly updating some feed about what I'm doing every five minutes, that would certainly make me someone who is more suspicious, right?

>>111168235
To be fair, most people in japan as well as other part of the world think the same anyway.

>>111168277
And never will.

>>111163716
>560 billion yen
That's only 5.5 billion USD, it's not much.

>>111168331
G Gundam rebooted the franchise. Wing too attempted to continue along with that.

If the nips wasn't such an ass and provided like a website where they publish all their shit with english translations, then they would get their money, they wouldn't get exploited and then we would get a wide variety of anime & mangos holy shit, I'd even happily throw them money. Why cant they capitalize on the market and realize the amount of profit they could make?

Oops. Daiz took it down.

>this is what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket

Well considering MT is down, they don't really have anything to take from me. At the very least someone has a backup right now, even if they are idiots who are incapable of getting it up.

Could do with a fuckload less streaming sites.

>>111168374

/a/ is just sperging like usual. China isn't going to seriously chase after ripper/scan groups, especially with Japan trying to get JDF stronk on some islands. Subs will still go on and as will torrents/filelockers. As long as you dont jump on public trackers downloading big 3 shit your going to be fine.

>>111168516
Oh please, you can't afford to pay for half of the media you consume.

and now this.

We're only a little better than half way through the year and all this shit has happened.

2014 is the year of the great /a/pocalypse. Brace yourselves, because the worst is yet to come.

If any manga viewing sites and RAWs sites go down, it might be a pain too.

A few posters have brought up that a lot of series are super-expensive, so that's my point. I'd actually pay for the anime I'd torrent/watch if owning a series wasn't the equivalent of buying a high-end graphics card or CPU. Some anon linked the vol. 1 BDs for Sabagebu from JPN Amazon in a Sabagebu thread earlier in the day - it's $52 and change for vol. 1 because they're throwing in 3 posters. That's just vol. 1. I'd buy some series if it wouldn't cost me an absolute fortune. If I want Sabagebu the Men's Daily Vitamin or Sabagebu the Box Fan, I'll pay for that separately.

I'm not sure if this is because of isolationist practices or bad business decisions, but cracking down on a foreign audience that will buy your shit if it's at a reasonable price for them locally is stupid.

Are people ITT seriously scared they would go after individual downloaders? That would be a huge waste of their time and money. If anyone's getting v& it's the fansubbers.

>>111168630
So long as jcafe and nyaa are left, we're good.

>>111168512
No, not at all.

>>111168554
Don't take the advice of this moron. He abuses possessive nouns like some grade schooler idiot.

>>111168471
Nobody gives a shit about what you're doing every 5 minutes but if you're stupid enough to download 10GB of CP and go around posting it all over the place without hiding your IP would be when you really get in trouble.

Although nowadays the NSA is more concern about Sand Monkeys plotting to blow up the nearest synagogue.

What about sadpanda? It works fine for me.

>>111168597

You underestimate my pay check and my drive for cute and kawaii things, anon.

Someone should make sure to post on the blog there some info about Sekret Klub and how to get in. LOL

>>111168648
Jcafe is almost certainly going to get caught in the crossfire. It has a large Japanese userbase.

>>111168251
They're sanitizing it for more global consumption.

>a stolen notebook using the next town's public park's wifi
That's even stupidier. Even I would be able to track your ass and I'm not even good with MACs

>>111168747
I'll go tell the head to start migrating servers then.

>>111168597
Not him, but your post raises one of my lifelong questions:
What would I do if I had to pay for my media?
I have literally thousands of music CDs on my HDDs, not to mention the anime, movies, and vidya I have played.
Probably more than a hundred thousand dollars in my life.
"This week I will but THIS product and enjoy it because it's the only thing I'll have until next week" sounds a line from another planet.

CR quite literally exists because of anime pirating. Considering that's how CR started.
