Worst case scenario; Your video gets taken down.
If not then they'll probably mute the video.

It's not lke you're gonna have to spend time in court or anything lol..

Most likely not. There are tons of channels out there that have short anime clips uploaded.

I've been able to upload the first six episodes of a shoujo OVA onto Youtube and the company is monetizing it. For whatever reason the Acchi Kocchi TV series is allowed on Youtube but the OVA for it is not. If the anime is from a smaller studio it's more likely that it will be allowed on Youtube as the studio can still get money from it through ads. With larger studios this will decrease DVD sales so they prevent people from uploading their episodes.

Just curious, did the studio monetize your videos themselves or did you enable monetization on your channel?

I think 1 or 2 minute is the limit if you take it as a whole from the anime (including sound fx, bgm, voice acting).
But it depend on the use, if you want to use it for a review you can just use the animation without using any sounds from the original video, I think its counted as fair use (most of the time it is, but still it doesn't preventing your vid from being taken down tho)

I do have monetization enabled, but I rarely use it (I don't get enough views for it to mean anything, my minimum wage job pays more by the hour than I could get by the month from Youtube). The video footage in those episodes is owned by Bandai so they are the ones who are allowed to monetize it, which they decided to. I don't get any of the money since it's legally their work, even though I did put in the effort to translate it. If they wanted to prevent me from uploading them at all they would have the right to do so. Bandai does seem to allow their content on Youtube including the more popular series like Haruhi and Wolf's Rain.

Ohh, alright thanks. I just wondered if companies could still monetize videos that contains their content, even if the channel doesn't enable monetizations as a whole.

I used to post some anime related videos on YouTube. I didn't have too many problems. I've had a few taken down for copyright claims (mostly anime OP videos), but I never had my channel taken down or anything that severe.

However, I've only posted one anime related video on my channel in the last year and a half (and go figure it's probably my most viewed) so I can't really tell you how hard they're cracking down on copyright claims right now. I don't think you'll get into much trouble unless you're bootlegging whole episodes or soundtracks onto YT.

thanks, i probably won't risk it for a while yet though. One person got his channel locked from uploading, but he had full episodes on. I would only do small clips, but I don't want to risk it.

You can make a new account for these risky uploads i guess. Or upload them on less strict video sites, like Dailymotion and Vimeo.

Youtube's autodetect system can be a bitch. And Japanese companies won't usually let you settle claims properly either, they are extremely protective of audiovisual shit, even when it's used fairly or in AMVs, which may or not be Fair Use. They do not tend to care about any holders of copyright or the citizens outside Japan, which is why they often region restrict their content, though recently were forced to do so to almost all their content thanks to Youtube Red fuck youtube red, fuck youtube, and fuck the idiots who think fair use is 'harming' companies

I've seen a few clips that last for minutes, with the inclusion of compilations. However, the main issue is, the autodetect system, if the show is included in it, will often block a video preemptively, after the upload is complete, thus rendering the entire thing useless.... the ways to bypass it aren't too difficult, but will completely screw up any subs that are on the video. Zooming, mirroring adding a couple video effects or filters, may throw the system offbalance if the anime is in the content ID library (some are not, and some are added much later, depending on the distributor or the company), and thus, it may not block it. However, due to search keywords, it's likely that the video will be found and taken down.

It's almost all completely dependent on the network. TV Tokyo is one of the worst and TBS is almost as efficient as they are. Ghibli is none too nice either. None of them are fair whatsoever, and once again, let me reiterate, all too careless of the international market and international anime fans. They will solely take down shit to prevent Japanese fans from accessing in encouragement to make them buy merch and boost sales. It's a dirty ass tactic.

I miss the days when youtube had full episodes. Or three part ones. Now, that was great. An uncensored youtube, filled to the brim and seeping with actual content, regardless of whether it was considered 'copyright violation' or not, as supposed to guys reacting to shit. Now that was Youtube. Ever since YT got taken over and has been bullied continuously by corporate dogs, the worse it's become, to the point where even content creators are angrily responding to the automated system being ineffective and the companies acting too harshly. Shit needs to change, man.

Meh, I wouldn't bother. YT DMCA claims are so easily abused even for legit videos that it's not really worth it.

Try uploading in private and check if it has copyright before uploading in public.
the automated three strike system also affects private videos
i dont know if they changed it since tonari no seki kun tho (that was the only op i tried to upload)

That's rather unbelievable considering you need three copyright strikes to shut down your account. I've never heard of one copyright strike disabling you from uploading for six months unless you were too petrified to do any more uploads because you were afraid to get another strike.
