The Unabomber doesn’t pay for anime!

4 Comments

And therefore neither should you.If you are reading this, then you should be paying for anime because you are not a neo-luddite.

Maybe I’m a super advanced neo-luddite who uses technology to take down the very technology I hate. And reads Japanese cartoon blogs.

Maybe I built my computer from pinball machine parts!

But seriously the way some radical pro-fansub people talk on the Internet you would think that pirating anime was like striking a blow against the fascist Coalition States. In their opinion anime should be free and anyone who pays for anime is a sucker and a collaborator with the vilest forces of evil. They would have you believe that every American anime company is run by a bunch of filthy rich fat cats that overcharge you for heavily edited poorly translated tripe. Because as we all know the Japanese get anime for free so why should we valiant Americans be forced to pay for it.

I guess people don’t realize that market is just about the same everywhere, unless you live in a communist state. Yeah, anime is on TV in Japan, but that doesn’t mean it’s free. You sit through the commercials. There you have it ladies and gentlemen, I know we don’t have commercials in America but I’m sure you know what they are. If someone wanted to argue that they only watch anime on TV in the U.S. and it’s free and they therefore won’t buy any DVDs…I guess that is fine. But that entitles them to a very small portion of anime. And that is hypothetical because we know the people championing it aren’t doing that. Yeah, really sticking it to the man guys…by the way what CORPORATION are you paying for your Internet service?

There are more anime fans than ever before. Why should DVD sales be down? Conventions keep getting bigger and bigger yet the profits seem to be at a standstill or going down the drain. More than 20,000 people attended Otakon for the past three years. How many of them do you think have watched Full Metal Alchemist? Probably a good portion. Yet, FMA and most other anime sell somewhere between 1000 and 3000 DVDs of the first disc and sales go down from the second disc on.

And those numbers are only true for popular series. I’m sure Master Keaton and Galaxy Angelnever sold anywhere near 1,000 copies. If I had magical insider info I would like to see the sales numbers on the last disk of some really popular shows. I’m really curious to see how quickly the number of DVDs falls and how low does it go as a series drags on. But anime companies give out sales numbers like //most// people give out naked pictures of themselves.

Most people being those not on 4chan.

I think it’s harder to find someone at an anime con who has not at least heard of Full Metal Alchemist than it is to find someone who has no idea who the Yankeesare at a baseball game. Now a lot of people will say that, “Oh well I watched it on Cartoon Network so that’s why I did not buy the dvds.” Now if you watched it on TV that’s fine but I still saw a huge number of people running around talking about FMA before episode 1 played on TV. I am pretty sure most of them did not buy the Japanese tankubon and just happen to be Japanese literate.

Plus, there was a line wrapping around half the convention to meet the voice actors. There were more people in that line than bought the DVDs! You are such a huge fan that you can’t shell out 20 bucks for the DVDs? I just don’t get it.

I’m curious if you could make every person, who has seen Fullmetal Alchemist, at Otakon answer why they did not purchase the DVDs. I’m curious to hear their excuses. I assume your going to get, “I’m poor so I can’t afford the DVDs” or “I did not like it enough to buy it.” (Double points if they say either and they are cosplaying a FMA character.) I also assume there will be a bunch of people who have some minor quibble with the release that stops them from buying the DVDs (Did not like how they translated this minor term, did not like some part of the packaging, minor audio glitch). I also assume there will be a few people who don’t want the man to get their cash because they ruin everything and it would be wrong for them to have to pay.

Being a fan for many, many years now this boggles my mind! I used to buy anime blind, without knowing anything about it. It was hit and miss but it was also exciting to sit down with my friends and gobble it up good or bad. The days like that are gone because heaven forbid you buying something at all let alone something that doesn’t have a religious following! However, I understand the need for reviews and previews because the market is so big now, there are more titles out than I could have imagined ten years ago.

I tend to research all my purchases of anything I buy because I’m oddly anal retentive about that. I will still experiment with anime but I tend to like to have some idea of what I’m getting into. If it’s anything I also research what I download on Bittorent just as much. Goodness forbid I download the new Peach Pit series by mistake. I think part of it has to do more with the fact that it’s so easy to do a huge amount of research with almost no effort thanks to the Internet. You get get 20 reviews in a matter of seconds on almost anything. The only problem is you get the Internet’s opinion. Take that as you will.

Well, you also buy more anime than anyone I know. I wouldn’t say don’t research to people, like I mentioned there is so much more out there. But I feel like people use reviews as an excuse not to buy things. Because some show wasn’t A+ or top 10 material it isn’t worth spending money on.

There does seem to be a distinct trend towards people just buying A-list titles and everything else being ignored in anime and manga in general. Almost every anime company and a few manga companies blame this on the Internet. They basically claim that big titles are big enough that downloading does not hurt them too much because they have a more mainstream appeal but niche titles flounder because they lose too many buyers to the free bootleg alternative. How true this is I can’t say. All I can say is no matter what the truth is you should try and support smaller titles. Naruto will do fine if you skip buying a few DVDs for a while to support Honey and Clover and Mushishi. (Buy Honey and Clover when it comes out or you will never find true love.)

I would never say don’t use bittorrent. I use it all the time, it is running right now. But I don’t watch too many series compared to what is available online right now. I usually watch somewhere from one to five titles at a time and they are never licensed. I like to know what’s going on in Japan, too! But I also buy the titles that I watch on bittorrent, even if I completely watch it before it comes to the states. If/when D.Gray Man gets licensed, I’m so there! If/when Claymore makes it to the U.S., I will cheer! If/when Lovely Complexgets picked up, I’m pre-ordering and I’m already on episode 19. You get the point.

Well, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. I’m pretty sure that fansubs are here to stay no matter what anyone does. Even if bittorrent were to be banned from the Internet tomorrow then IRC, other peer to peer programs, and good old bootleg DVDs would pick up the slack almost instantly. The only thing we can hope to do is encourage people to act like good fans despite the fact that they can get fansubs for free.

Ahhh, I remember my old DC++ days. Fond memories.

That being said I also watch fansubs but try to live by the Otaku code. The Otaku code being that as long as I moderately enjoyed the show I watched fansubed I will go out and buy the legitimate release. That means you don’t go and whine just because the show you like got licensed. You should be happy when the show you like gets a US release. Unless the show is being licensed by 4kids you should be happy to spend money on the shows you like. You can’t go running around saying that fansubs are fine because they show the American companies which titles to license and then not go out and buy those titles.

I also love bittorrent for all the titles that will probably never get licensed. Because no matter how big the market and no matter the sales, there are just some things that seem unlikely to see an official English release. This stems from people only wanting the best of the bestest popular anime of the year. It is really undermining small, niche series and older titles. And so we use Internet to get a fix. But all those shows, I am always championing at cons begging companies to consider them. I’d buy them in a heartbeat!

Is bittorent really hurting older or very obscure anime? The problem is only niche number of people currently interested in these older/more obscure anime. In general modern anime fans seem rather uninterested in older anime and a lot of the more niche titles. They don’t want to download the episodes of older anime for free let alone buy it in the stores. Look at the number of downloads of the newest episodes of Bleach compared to the newest fansubbed episodes of Future Cop Urashiman. The is often a factor of 100 difference in the number of downloaders.

That being said I do like the fact that you can see things like the Rose of Versailles or Future Cop Urashiman despite the fact the is a slim chance of them ever being licensed. Until I learn Japanese it will be the easiest way for me to see certain shows. Plus I too would go out and purchase legitimate releases of said anime if they ever came out in America.

I have to admit, I feel like all of this not buying is purely selfish. I think people should think about the community of fans more and consider other people. Maybe I’m being a little simplistic and naive but I always saw anime fans as a united group of people until a few years ago. Perhaps a splintering like this was caused by it’s rapid growth, but that is another conversation. All I’m saying is that, people aren’t buying anime because they don’t feel like it. Period. And I have to wonder if there is a way to make them feel like it.

I think it’s more a fact that anime has gone mainstream. In the very old days before there was even an American anime industry you had to be a hardcore SOB with a real passion to get anything in America. You had to go and make friends with people who were in Japan and trade with them to get copies of raws. Anything you got was hard won. Fans back then could only wish for American releases. Anything that was releases in the US was heavily modified to being almost different shows.

Can we say Streamline? But you took what you could get!

Also when you started to see anime companies in America, you could easily buy EVERYTHING that was released in the US and not break a sweat. So, most fans had to hunt down what came out and bought it. Anything else you watched was either, traded tapes or very typically horrible bootlegs. Tape trading was also very hit or miss. You dealt with all type of people with all levels of quality of tapes. You could get a nice guy who was a pleasure to deal with and who had beautifully transferred tapes. Other times you dealt with batshit crazy arsefaces with 30th generation tapes with subs done by someone whose native language is neither English or Japanese. You bought what you could legitimately because you were guaranteed some level of quality. Any thing else was a crap shoot.

Modern fandom has it easy. Most everything popular gets licensed eventually and the US companies are anything but perfect but they are better than they have been it the past. The problem is now bootlegs and fansubs are on par with the legitimate releases. Even most bootleggers use the fansubs on their bootlegs (not always though). There are only two guaranteed reasons left that to buy legitimate releases. The first is sometimes extras and packaging materials are better on legitimate releases. Legitimate releases will have trinkets or interviews that a fansub won’t have. The second is the simple love of anime. The problem is casual fans just don’t have the same love and therefore the same commitment to anime.

Oh my the bitterness is starting to show. I guess it can put a different perspective on things when you lived through some different times. I wasn’t around for tape trading mind you, but I certainly know the hard won battles of getting legitimate releases. Waiting years and years for a series to finish. I’m pointing at you Slayers. I was so excited to be able to buy things domestically that I couldn’t imagine not doing it!

Anime fandom was united because the only way for anyone to get what they wanted was to work together. Today you don’t have to deal with anyone to get most anything you want. You don’t have to work for a release and most modern fans never had to work for a release. I’m sure if the kiddies of today would buy a little more if they had to go through what the venerable old men of fandom had to go through. (or perhaps they would have just moved on to whatever was easy to be a fan of.) I’m hardly saying that I would ever want to go back to the bad old days but there was a certain honor such hardship instilled in anime fans.

That goes along with what I have been hearing from younger fans. I asked this kid what college he went to and when he told me, I knew they had an anime club. I asked him what they were showing and how it was run and he said him and his friends didn’t attend. When I questioned why not, he said they had their own little group and didn’t really care about a club. I was disappointed. But you really don’t need anyone else nowadays to be a fan.

As to how to stop the rampant bootlegging of today, I have no idea. People whose livelihood is effected by downloads can’t figure out how to stop it so I don’t think I could think up anything better. As for converting people, I’m not sure if there is any easy way to do so. People have to want to change, otherwise it’s near impossible to get them to change their minds. If there was some simple argument or method of converting people to the idea that spending money on anime is worth it, I would be using it long ago.

I would also be using a modified version of it to get dates.

Moe! Good God ya’ll! What is it good for?

4 Comments

Moe is this insidious cancer of the anime world. It started as the normal cells of princess characters and turned into to the festering monster that is moe. And like cancer it has slowly spread from the areas it originally infected to the whole body of anime. It’s also a wily cancer. It’s constantly changing itself to adapt, disguising itself in new forms, and always perpetuating itself. Will moe kill anime and then desecrate it’s once beautiful corpse?

Yes.

What was that again Ambassador Kosh, “Understanding is a three-edged sword?”

See the odd thing is, I don’t wholly hate the idea of moe I just hate the horrible machine it has become. Pretty princesses sometimes need saving. As I have already made clear in this blog, I like strong female characters but there are times a girl needs to be saved by her handsome protector. There is an undeniable romantic element to the white knight coming in to save a woman in her darkest hour. Women sometimes want to be swept off their feet and men want to play the role of protector. There is also a warmth that comes from being a chaste protector.

I’m not really opposed to the idea that is moe either. Heck, I like to save the princess and be the great big hero. But then again just saving the girl isn’t really the entire definition of moe. Plenty of girls have been saved that I would in no way put into the moe category.

Let’s define moe because it’s become a very nebulously defined term. In my opinion a “true” moe character is a vulnerable character that instills the viewers with a desire to protect and nurture that character. Tha,t in my mind, is the heart of the beast known as moe. Moe has started to mutate into this more amorphous term. For some reason moe has become this odd catch all for anything that is a turn on. You can be moe for girls with glasses, or moe for tsundere girls, or moe for trains, or moe for gosh darn ramen.

I only learned the term “moe” a few months ago but I am already tired of it. I don’t even acknowledge it anymore. Because as Hisui said, it’s now a blanket term to mean whatever the heck you want it to. In fact, by the way people use it, it means nothing. Because if someone uses it now, I have to ask “in what way” or “how do you mean?” I am sure there a different levels of moe as well but it seems to gotten out of hand. I don’t think the words moe and pathetic need go hand in hand but we are getting there. I don’t use the word, unless in jest.

I also hate the fact that it’s attached itself to some of the most reprehensible parts of anime fandom. The biggest moe fans seem to be the lolicon perverts and the “your virtual girlfriend is better than any real girl” people.

Wait…you mean that last part isn’t true?

I hear it on good authority that sometimes real girls can be fun and can have worthwhile relationships despite the fact that unlike moe girls they have flaws, that are not super cute, and human failings, that are not turn ons.

Both groups that seem to champion moe seem to be afraid of or reject mature, in-charge women. They seem to be the basement dwelling Hikikomori who are just plain afraid or distasteful of real girls. Moe girls seem to be popular because they are safe to these recluses. Since moe girls need a protector and moe otaku can be that protector. A moe girl is safe because she needs a protector like the moe otaku so she won’t reject the moe otaku.

It’s safe to say that saying a character is moe conjures a very different image than was originally intended. I also wonder how prevalent the word really is in the industry outside of moe-loving shows. Does a writer really say, “hum I’m gonna make this character moe,” or do they just write their characters. I feel like the word gets used on characters that is may never have been intended to be used on. And frankly, it’s annoying.

Moe defenders often state that moe is harmless because moe is not sexual. Moe is all about being a brotherly or chaste protector. Because the moe fan is a chaste protector they are not a creepy perv. But it turns out that most moe otaku may claim that they have a chaste interest in their moe obsessions but then they go and buy pornographic doujinshi and racy figures of their moe desire. Their actions often invalidate their speeches of innocent love.

I think a big difference is you are starting to see moe shows as opposed to moe characters. They used to just be a part of a cast with many others but now the crazy has grown so much that you entire series dedicated to those types of characters. So I guess you get your choice of all different looking moe girls in one show! How exhilarating! Moe is kind of just lumping itself in with hentai and dating games at this point. The characters don’t seem to be viably connected to any real story it is just about fan service.

Well the problem is with the flood of moe is that moe seems to be the hot thing in Japan so the Japanese are going to cater to these guys who keep spending good money on moe garbage.

I watched two episodes of this horrible show, Ookiku Furikabutte and I encountered a moe guy! Wow did I take a wrong turn. I have no qualms with shonen-ai but seriously, gimme a story. This was a thinly veiled, very thinly, show allegedly about baseball but between the crying pitcher, the hand holding, the speech about how teammates should sleep together, and the pillow fight, I remain unconvinced that this show has anything to do with sports.

Well, I am sure that has a lot to do with the rise of the Fujoshi. Horrible female otaku have to be catered to as much as horrible male otaku. Girls have their own home in Akihabara at Otome Road. Girls have their sections at Comiket. So they should get their own moe fan service characters. I assume moe will be less attractive to girls but I’m sure there are girls out there who want a vulnerable boy to protect and love.

Did you realized that using moe you can also spell emo. This cannot be a coincidence.

In the fact that they are both running gags on the internet.

The real question that I can’t really answer is, how long until moe will fade from it’s position as the hot thing in anime. I’m pretty sure moe has left enough of a mark that it will never go away completely but how much of an impact will it have on the medium as a whole.

Every once and a while, some new trend comes along and grips everyone’s attention. Then, all the animation studios rush in and try to make their own version of said trendy show. Sometimes the trends dies off and is basically forgotten. Other times they fade into the background but still get made every few seasons. I feel sci-fi anime is like this. Sci-fi anime was big back in the 80’s but you only see a few sci-fi shows now a days. Other times they change the genre and every season you see a show that revolves around it.

Well, has anything that was crazy popular ever not had an affect on the medium? Aren’t certain characters or shows always referenced? However, I agree I’m not sure in what ways it will be impactful. Has it changed the way people watch anime? I suppose in a way it has, but at the same time I don’t think its life changing. I didn’t encounter moe and think “wow, I never knew anime could be like that.” Atleast, not in a positive way.

Will there be a moe show every season for now until the end of time or will this whole craze die down and we can get back to shows filled with all types of horrible female characters not just horrible moe characters?

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

I think I could make myself crazy trying to come up with reasons for horrible female characters existence.

I love all the women of the world so oddly enough in a strange turn of events I am less hateful than you. But yeah there are some nasty piece of work characters in anime and manga.

I can’t complain about certain titles because they are aimed at a certain audience. For example, Rozen Maiden or the like, they are aimed at a fetish-type demographic so it is not as if I expect much from them. Series that have a broad appeal, like basic shonen and shojo, are a different story, I expect some diversity of characters, and when I’m given no option but weak and pathetic main female characters, one of two things usually happens. One, I stop reading, of course this is the least likely if they aren’t the main-main character. Or two, I hate them with such a fury that I cannot contain it and cling to either minor good females or disregard females in the series and only have an interest with the male characters.

We all know there is no excuse for Rozen Maiden. Doll touchers have to die.

I tend to latch onto characters I like and easily ignore characters I hate so I think I’m a little easier going than you are. I will go on for hours about how I love Saber but I find it hard to remember the last time I went on a rant about how much I hated a character. On the other hand, I can sometimes feel the hate-hate wawa vibes coming off you at certain characters.

Yes, well don’t act all innocent. I know how entertaining you find it to bring up characters that drive me up the wall. So, I attribute some of my ranting to you, Hisui.

I am a strong believer in the healing power of Schadenfreude. Certain Flay fan club posters are a testament to this fact. Narutaki is a good human being that hates bad characters. I’m a horrible human being that is tolerant of bad characters.

Oh and I think fetish characters should not get a free ride. I like the obviously fetish characters from Type Moon games. (Heck, you’re not going to get more fetish characters than characters from a hentai game.) I still like them as female characters so you can make characters that cater to a fetish but are still likable. You just have to put in some effort.

But I also realize that your just limiting your selections so you don’t go off like a volcano on the world of bad female characters.

But something like Death Note, yeah I’ll complain about that. Or any series with a main girl who is not only weak, but pointless and useless and the writer can’t even come up with a good reason to keep them around. Seriously, Light should have killed this girl. Period. I know her sex appeal is why she was there, I’m not dense, but really did she have to be the worst excuse for a woman ever? I was reading Death Note for this amazing cat and mouse story, not the fun fun love hour of serial killer and dumb girl.

Misa Misa is kind of a waste of a human life. She was often more of a problem to Light than L and the police force combined. As a person who likes the Goth Loli aesthetic, I see why Misa would appeal to men with her pleasant character design but her personality is just so caustic. She seems written in a way to deliberately make someone think, “Why has this girl not died yet?” The only problem with this is she added nothing to the plot other than having her lounge around it cute/skimpy little outfits and making trouble. She should have been dead and buried right after Rem died.

I remember that girl who brought up Misa Misa at that shojo panel at Manga Next as an example of a strong female character. Man, that was hysterical in a scary way because she was dead serious. She thought that the super stupid, super doormat that is Misa Misa was strong because she stuck by Light no matter what.…Wow! Not sure what to say to that.

I think the look on my face said it all. And I was sitting two seats away from the girl. It took all of my being to not reach out and shake her.

I also remember reading a review of the last book of Death Note where the reviewer speculated that Misa Misa is supped to be what happens if an average girl got her hands on the death note.

Alright, how insulting could that be? This is horrible! Misa Misa has gotten into the brains of people and made them think the average girl is a completely ditzy, useless, moronic, childish idiot! I don’t know who I should be more mad at, the people who created her, the people that like her, or the people that think she is the average girl!

Gundam Seed, I applauded you for your amazing females. EXCEPT FOR ONE. And granted, just one is pretty good. But I hated this character with so much of my being. Everytime she walked on screen I had to cringe. Flay Alster, you sucked. Not only was she a racist bitch, she also used the sex as her greatest weapon! I mean she succeeds in seducing Kira, but her plan doesn’t work out when he doesn’t go get himself killed. Everytime they would cut to her face she would have that, “hehe exactly as planned” look, it was almost comical.

Well, I think that Flay was made as a character to be hated by the viewers. They wanted you to have that reaction. Misa Misa was supposed to be entertaining person and beloved by the fans for her antics. All they did not do was give Flay a Snidely Whiplash mustache and have her tie Miriallia Haw to some train tracks. I also think she was supposed to be a sympathetic villain. You were supposed to understand that she did the things she did because she was hurt by the war and stuck out at people in selfish ways because she was an immature character.

I knew Gundam Seed wanted me to feel sorry for Flay but it just did not work. Especially, when we are dealing with so many characters who were all affected by the way and had their own horror stories. Flay was a selfish woman who believed that everything somehow revolved around her. Someone like Cagalli who’s father is also killed, is understandably upset but she used her grief to help end the war not to gain sympathy. And they also wanted you to forgive Flay in the end. NO.

Well that is why I’m going to marry Cagalli when I grow up and Athrun can take crappy Meyrin Hawke and be miserable with her.

Bad females must exist because there is something attractive about them, I don’t know what that is.

Certain men really like the idea of being able to protect a fragile girl who needs to be protected from the big bad world. Strong women don’t appeal to them because they can stand on their own so they don’t need them for anything. This desire to protect fragile girls can range from a noble desire to protect the one they love to the rather sleazy want for a girl to be dependent on them and only them. Often times if you dig down deep enough it’s a mixture of both in men. As for the nasty girl ,well men can like a horrible woman just as much as women will be attracted to the bad boy who is no good for them.

I guess, though, this is what is all comes down to right? Sex appeal, the object of a woman not the substance of one. But would guys really hate a female character that was strong? Is that the missing link in all of this? Of course men are objectified too but so many usually get at least some redeeming traits, interesting personalities, or are a dynamic character. Because we know girls were not reading Ruroni Kenshin because of Karou.

They read it because of the intense need to write Kenshin x Seta Soujiro porn. And Kenshin x Sanosuke porn. And Kenshin x you get the picture porn. I read it because Makimachi Misao is love and Hiko Seijuro is the man.

I just keep running circles in my head over this. Clearly there is no one answer to any of this.

I also think that guys will accept a cute face and smoking body and ignore a horrible personality a little quicker than a woman will accept a worthless guy with a pretty face. Not to say women won’t swoon over a pretty boy and be quick to ignore his faults but I think women in general have a slightly (even if it’s very slight) higher standard than men.

My question to you is do annoying male characters bother you as much as annoying female characters?

Yes, if they are annoying and useless. And also, lets not confuse the annoying and useless with just plain bitches.

I hate Asuka from Evangelion, I find her, as many others, to be a egotistical bitch, but atleast she can fight. Doesn’t mean I like her but I wouldn’t say she was useless. But that is so totally eclipsed by my blinding hatred of SHINJI IKARI!

Well even Yoshiyuki Sadamoto admitted that Shinji was nothing more than Nadia from Secret of Blue Water with a “masculine” make over. So Shinji is secretly A HORRIBLE GIRL CHARATCER in a very thinly veiled disguise. Also considering the fact that Nadia has her fair share of people who despised her for being a worthless female character it is not so hard to see why Shinji is so hated.

By the way, do you think Kenshin is an annoying male character or do you think he is just girl eye candy?

I think neither. This is a good person to illustrate the differences I see. Kenshin can be annoying and yes, he is very good looking. However, Kenshin is also TOTALLY BADASS! His fighting skills and scenes are just phenomenal. He has his annoying moments, but I can easily over look it when he is swinging his sword. This is it, I don’t hate annoying female characters because they are annoying. I hate annoying female characters that are also USELESS. I just want characters to serve some purpose.

Well as long as men will continue to buy figures, plushies, walls scrolls, pencil boards, love pillows, and real dolls of horrible female characters they will continue to make horrible female characters.
