This is really a crusade against manga scanslating because japan has realized nobody is willing to spend 9.99 to own a fucking 5 minute worth of reading book with pictures. Your cosmopolitan attitude is admirable. What a charming person you are. What kind of description is Cosmopolitan? I mean, he's not discriminating against Japs, so using it as irony doesn't make any sense. It sure as hell isn't saying anything about Economic cause the 10 bucks a volume thing is BS. They sell it over there for $5, we demand it same here! |

| I still can't get over how Japan is shooting itself in the foot by doing this. How the hell do they think that people all over the world even know about their anime, manga, visual novel, and light novels? Answer: the internet. Shit, I own numerous anime figurines and at least a couple hundred manga volumes. Almost none of which I would have ever purchased if it weren't for initial exposure to these titles via the internet. |

Worst-case scenario, XDCC will be the only option left to download what we want, meaning I have to re-active my IRC client and relearn all that I had forgotten, assuming all the torrent sites go down (which I doubt, but you can never be too careful). The ones I care about isn't. |

FGAU1912 said: Harutora_Rin said: Y-yeah, right. Try buying a 12 episode anime for €120 that ariund 40% cheaper than a full show here I'd do almost anything for $120-$180 BD sets in Japan. |

Harutora_Rin said: What was it about Sadpanda and shutting down? That's not the case right now right? I haven't been keeping up with it but it's got something to do with Fakku, Wani, CnDs and apparently Sadpanda isn't allowing new uploads currently. So yeah. There's a thread about sadpanda's ongoing troubles too. About 50 a day for the past week, actually. People aren't happy with Fakku it appears. https://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/111283733 - This thread will probably 404 soon. |

| I like the idea someone posted a few pages ago, "AniSteam". As long as it eventually had most shows available for everyone, I'd pay without a doubt. |
 |
| He~h, I skimmed through the .pdf a bit and looks like they actually seriously think about the issue (not just "let's destroy pirrracy") and how to answer to the fans' wishes (main principle was said to be "less illegal sites" + "more legal sites" -> less piracy). They unexpectedly also considered factors such as availability, easy access and such. And while the initial announcement seemed to concentrate on Chinese piracy, there was quite a focus on America (USA?). It was funny to see that chart with Americans being willing to pay more for both manga and anime than Japanese, too XD Oh, and I think someone in this thread said they should do something like with iTunes -- that was also taken into consideration :O |

| It's actually pretty ridiculous if they think they can totally stop anime/manga piracy all of a sudden. |

| In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom. |
| does this mean I wont be able to watch anime or read manga on websites now (like anilinkz for example)? |

They made a site already and most of its content is only available in America. They're not thinking about Europeans, we don't have any legal solutions and i'm not going to wait 10 years for something like that to happen Darn D; I'm also from Europe, but because I would rather read the Japanese original, if they do this based on regions or something, that'd be a problem (still better than nothing if there was something for Europeans, though). However, in the .pdf, there was a list of countries and whether there is a legal service available or not and since there were such available in the USA, Canada, other countries where English is spoken, France and Japan while only partly in the others that were listed, it would be strange if they didn't consider other countries/people (even if at a later point of the process) than America(ns). Actually, because of a lack of such legal services, if it wasn't for the number of pirates, it might have even made more sense to prioritise everyone else... Additionally, there were some people from the USA, Japan and France asked about the issue and someone (I believe from France) said that smaller countries should also be integrated in a possible new system and names Ecuadorians as an example. So with at least these two issues mentioned there, I do think they will include viewers/readers from smaller/other countries as well. Sigh~ Something like a region lock would be as exhausting as so many Japanese online stores refusing to take my money... ~.~ |

| This is so pathetic. I highly doubt this would work. And if it does, I really don't think it could affect me. |
 |
| Lmao, that's cute. |
 |
| Let the hate flow through us. |
| Oh~, I see, the website isn't just up, but it seems already ready for use and looks like there's no region lock. I think when DAISUKI started, there were only very few things online then. But right now the English titles seems to be officially translated ones. If they restrict the number of works to that (which shouldn't be the case because it was again and again stated in the .pdf that a huge number of titles and easy accessability are important), it would be obvious that some smaller countries without official translations won't make it there... I imagined something different from the information in the file, but it's not like the site cannot be enhanced and/or changed. Okay, just read the "Guardians" text there a bit. "Piracy offending in Anime has been also serious. Pirated video of a popular feature-length Anime has over 12 million views on a well-known video hosting site, which should have brought in a lot of illicit profits to the “pirate” from advertisement space." If this new service is supposed to be official, couldn't they also use ads like that (as someone suggested here before) since their service is legal...? |
| I'm not that worried about the anime... But what about my manga TT^TT |
   |
| Closing the only decent options for anime is not exactly how to export their culture. Less people are going to be watching anime. Anyway, when will Japan improve their anime distribution method instead of using piracy as a scapegoat flor their failures? Seems to be popular these days. Selling badly? Damn pirates! Selling well? We're awesome... huh, what pirates? |

| So is there a list of the targeted anime and manga yet? |
Harutora_Rin said: DrizzyXP said: So is there a list of the targeted anime and manga yet? Nope, but i would imagine being the animes that don't sell shit over in Japan So mainstream shit is safe? |

| They'll only be cutting their 'hairy barbarian' viewer base in half, that's if it even works in the first place which is doubtful |
