| According to Iza News, the Chinese government will acquire the airing rights of Japanese anime and open a website exclusively used for streaming the anime programs. The Chinese Copyrights Protection Center will play the major role in the negotiations with the Japanese producers and in the management of the licenses. The Chinese government intends to eliminate the widespread piracy by obtaining the licenses on its own. If the system runs successfully, China will establish similar systems with the US and South Korea. Source: Iza News |

| Sounds very nice. More money to the anime producers and less pirating (won't stop it, that's a given). Two birds with one stone. I must say we'll expect bigger and bigger budgets regarding anime :D |
| no more fansubs then? |
| oh china. you silly goose you. piracy can never be eliminated, only reduced. it is however, nice to see them care about protecting other people's license as opposed to outright stealing them. like the gundam that never appeared in their country..... |

| hate to imagine the amount of censorship that will go on in china once they license japanese product - will there be any show left? |

octal9 said: hate to imagine the amount of censorship that will go on in china once they license japanese product - will there be any show left? I don't know how deep is your knowledge on the current situation on China regarding censorship in the entertainment business, but I can tell you that the amount of romantic and action-oriented content in recent Chinese movies (from the Mainland, Taiwanese, from Hong Kong or Macao do not count) has been growing. Dementia and homossexual behaviour (though not envolving sex) is somewhat tolerated. So I believe most anime won't be censored a lot...but of course I am sure political scenes regarding revolution and popular discontent towards kings and governments will be cut, so I don't think most seinen anime will be aired on China, and some josei won't too. But shounen and shoujo, I think, will be perfectly fine. |

| I can see the Pretty Cure franchise being licensed in China. Shounen is a given, Shoujo is a maybe as well some shoujo-ai. Just no seinen, Josei, harem/ecchi, and hentai |
 |
| Well, as long as their censorship won't affect the anime that gets aired in Japan, I'm happy. Looks like a nice deal for both the Japanese and Chinese. Always nice to see these two old enemies get along. |
| I see dead people. |

| considering china is the biggest thief when it comes to intellectual property, i am not sure how this will play out. its kind of like having a drug lord say....ok, we are going to wage war on drugs, who is with me? |
| Stopping piracy and forgery from China? Good luck with that. |
 |
| eliminate piracy....well good luck with that :)))) |
 |
| This is good news. Piracy will exist no matter what people do, but at lease they're are trying to do something about it. |
| Well good luck with that |

| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRlVQ9vITik&feature=related Chinese anime, it's BL, two years later and no government interference. Maybe it's not so bad. |
dtshyk said: to eliminate the widespread piracy Yeah maybe in China but the world haha yeah right look at all the streaming (legal) sites we already have. They haven't stop piracy in one bit they only managed to make some groups not to fansub if it's "simulcast" This is going to end up like Crunchyroll getting rip off everyday......waste of time. |

| Sounds good to me. Looks like China's finally moving up in the world... again... I want the anime companies to make money so we can get more Zetsubou Sensei good anime in America. |
| Hope it will also include chinese dubs of japanese anime, from the old to the new ones. |
| I wish to see what happen with this one.. |

| The land where everything is bootlegged complaining about piracy. Absolutely hilarious...now if you excuse me, I'm going to go eat my fake eggs while wearing my fake Ray Bans sunglasses. |
| Ok™ |
| I'm not exactly sure what this really means in the grand scheme of things. |

McRib said: The land where everything is bootlegged complaining about piracy. Absolutely hilarious...now if you excuse me, I'm going to go eat my fake eggs while wearing my fake Ray Bans sunglasses. LOl, but yes a bit hypocritical on china's part. |
| Seems like this would be a good thing, no? As others have said, it certainly won't stop piracy, but at least now we'll be seeing more legal releases of anime in China (not actually sure what the situation has been up to this point...), which ultimately means more money for the animation companies. So, no complaints here. |
 |
| Lol, hypocrisy is fun. But no, good job taking the initiative to do something about it. I'm just wondering what it'll really mean for us, if anything at all, like if it'll affect anything if this system's implemented in other countries. Probably nothing, though, so I'm not gonna worry now... Good job, China. |
| Nooooooooooooooooo Even though truthfully i doubt it will be successful. It's so big and it has so many people and (no offence) but they are pretty much the king of piracy. I watch most of my shows in english fansubs but most chinese fansubs>english fansubs. If it EVER becomes successful , it will also affect other entertainment like manga translation which will really affect the manga fandom. For those of you that read english translated light novel , the effect will be even greater. |

octal9 said: hate to imagine the amount of censorship that will go on in china once they license japanese product - will there be any show left? Dude, really? I grew up watching anime in China. I can assure you that theres very little censorship on Chinese aired anime. Now, anime on American TV.... |
| Pfft, hahahahaha Good luck with the "elimination of piracy" thing. |
| Sounds good I guess...? |
 |
| The words "China" and "anti-piracy" somewhat contradict each other. |
| Well, a step forward at least. |
| Hopefully the fansubs won't be eliminated as a person stated above. that would be NOOO |
| Good for the Chinese.But isn't that a country synonymous with bootlegs? |
| I don't see how this will stop English fansubs in any way. All I can see now is that they will dub the Japanese anime sell it in China and more money will flow to the producers creating bigger budgets and possibly more anime aired per season. I'm definitely sure fansub will never really die out. The bigger companies can ask them to take it out once it's licensed but even then there's always 100 other torrents and direct downloads to get your hand on it. Now if the damn streamers would actually have good translations without censoring the curse words or "Americanize" it and have HQ I would maybe consider paying for it. Either way, it's good to see that China is interested in more than just buying Japanese technology but also their culture. More money is always a good stuff. |
