It won't stop retards from renewing their CR subscription
Instead of importing.
What do you mean popular?
Who the fuck is that?
everyone who isn't an idiot knew that
cr/funi/amazon/etc all pocket most money from us licenses not mention ad revenue
by the end of it the original creators/studios/etc get shit
shitty middle men with shitty quality, translations, and drm need to die already

Everyone already knows this
Literally who.
>japs get offered a shit deal
>they accept it
really makes you think
How many of fuckos don't just get a couple of weebs to make a subbed version, i doubt it'd be hard to find some french/spanish and english speaking fuckos to piece it all together.
It wouldn't be all moeshit if you'd actually buy good stuff.
who cares
If the japs dont make money, they should get a real job
>not knowing
wew, it was like 3 weeks ago.
Everyone knows that except delusional funi or crunchy shills.
Sorry I dont give a shit about your retarded memes.
That art looks horrible by the way
But I want it to keep being moeshit.
Are there independant studios that sell subbed versions directly to costumer? i know plenty of hentai artists that offer an english version as well.
It seemed like a logical way to take advantage of the internet.
So its just some shitty fat porn?
Why is it a big deal?
It's kind of retarded how it's literally impossible to actually support the animation studios that make our precious animu.
>streaming only supports they jew companies like shittyroll and funishit
>buying cheap bd's only supports jew companies like funishit
>importing bd's only supports jew companies that produce the shows
>buying merch only supports jew companies that produce the merch and the shows
Literally impossible to actually give my anime to the poor animators in Japan, so I just keep my money or spend it on imported mangos.
waaaaait a fucking second, those are the guys that did ladies vs buttlers right?, they did a hentai?, for fucking real?, please tell me its real, those girls always send the right signals to my dick
*give my money, eh fuck it
The artist, not the animation studio.
sealed envelope mailed directly to authors and studios.
Japs don't know anything about western market, funimation and other jews are the only ones who can "help" poor japanese creators.
I don't even know why you post in this thread, user. Are you that bored?
BDs are ridiculously expensive when it comes to anime.
Importing them costs about 1/6 to 1/5 of the price in shipping alone.
Next you have to pay customs for both combined which increases it by 20% again.
No thanks. Make importing stuff easier and I'll support it if I like it.
Same goes for manga.
A single volume is like 5€, and insured shipping to Europe for it is 7~9€. If I choose cheaper shipping without tracking it will never arrive.
Why would I pay more for shipping than for the merchandise itself?
And if it goes above 25€ I need to pay fucking customs again.
In the end, I just hope they get enough for Japanese digitally purchased manga/LN which is all I'm willing to pay as long as internation shipping sucks balls.
Talk to /biz/ about starting your own licensing agency. Clover Studios.
I would support them if they got a patreon or some shit but I only know like 2 mangakas that do. I heard its looked down upon to get donations like that over there so they don't do it
>The janitor finds it and steals it.
This makes me thing is there an anime studio as strong and with as much variety like say HBO to be a giant cunt and release an streaming service exclusively of their content?
Like HBO GO, is any of them powerful enough to set up something like this?
The problems with overseas licensing and making it economical comparing to how much elevens waste on stuff are just hilarious at this point and hard to even feel bad about.
To reply to OPs points about distribution?
I had no idea this as about some crappy hentai but thats not what the thread is really about
>I heard its looked down upon to get donations
Why are japs so proudly retarded bros?
You're going to convince Japanese business men and their ingrained hatred of the western market and new technological advancements. Just look at how Jap video game publishers treat YouTube and twitch.
>but thats not what the thread is really about
then why the fuck you asked about that in the first place, is like you enjoy to play retarded or something
Handout dishonorabre
To know about something I didnt know of before?
You are the only retard here.
fpbp
How to run a business with a hivemind-like anonymous structure?
>no u
just stop, user
Agreed, the jew bullshit has to fucking stop. They need to start paying the animators properly.
That wasnt a "no u", you asked why would I ask about something I dont know about
You are fucking retarded
But they're getting peanuts so it's not that bad. Peanuts taste great
Any sort of profit will immediately vanish and studios will fold at an alarming rate.
At this rate most of the active talent is either going to get the fuck out because of the conditions, get old and retire, die from overworking, go crazy. And then there won't be enough new talent coming in leading to quite a shit scenario, it's already a problem.
you really are a fucking retard
Accepting donations for something like manga is a shameful behavior, it makes you into nothing but a parasite unable to produce anything of value. The first and most important duty of every human being is to produce enough valuable work to sustain and continue human society when they can, if you are receiving donations for what you call your "work" then you aren't producing like you should. Every work needs to be done under the guidelines and standards of the human society, receiving donations go against that and poison our society's future.
>Instead of importing.
>A bluray volume cost 40-80 $
>Just 2 to 4 episodes per volume
>Complete series cost 250+ $
Yeah just fuck off
It's not like importing will actually do jack shit.
It fucking sucks to sell shit at the west, most people think they are entitled to your game/show/product and whine like the little socialist bitches they area.
The company where I work was on the verge of breaking before we started getting stuff translated into Chinese.
you asked your answer, you already knew, there was no need to ask the question.
don't need to samefag tho, just stop replying
Sekai Project?
You can't even order HBO Go. You have to have a cable subscription, and then add HBO onto that.
Fuck off Sup Forumsermin.
TL;DR
Don't blame whitey. Blame your own slit eyed kikes. Asian kikes can be even more kikerish than real jews.
Does anyone else buy the Japanese versions of manga/lns they read fan translations of? Even when they get localised, I still get them in moon.
>barely any money for a car goes to the robots that actually made it
that's why I download all my cars
i'm not against people trying to earn a living, but directly asking money for drawings and pasting logos everywhere kills it for me

Why are whites such a useless race? It seems they can only get good results by raping.

You and I have similar dreams, user.
oh, thanks for the info, not like I'm giving money to the people who sent their actors to Europe to interview the poor refugees in the camps with 6 kids apiece, they released like 10 videos of their actors over there showing how poor and not military-aged men these refugees are
>pocket most money
>utterly ignorant of U.S. anime industry
Typical user
Honestly I wish I knew how to become a US license holder. As long as I could make enough money to pay rent, I would not really care about the rest. The actual costs can't be much I imagine, its just the other companies have such a monopoly.
BD manufacturing is cheap, do batch runs that you drop ship and you can cut down on the staff you need too.
I just wish I had the connections to try and bring an anime stateside. Like, I bought classroom crisis in japan when I was just there because it's been two years. This shit should not take this long. Hell, you don't even need a dub as most of the obscure stuff is sold to neckbeards like Sup Forums anyway.
Why couldn't Travis Knight have fallen in love with Anime instead of stop motion?
I actually thought about this before.
It's fun to dream.
>The actual costs can't be much I imagine
Flying to and from Japan is very expensive, so is advertising, so is the actual process of localizing the media. It's not feasible to burn 1000+ DVDs on your home computer for mass release.
The issue with the dream would be the inability of a westerner to break into the market. Unless there are examples of this that I don't know about. Netflix seems to be the only company that is attempting to break in, if only slightly.
I'm gonna make you an offer: 20 thousand but for 70% of the company. I'll do the inventory and distribution cuz you are gonna need a lot of help.
*boom-boom*
It's a good first step
If I already had the contacts why would I need to fly to japan, commercial disk manufacturing is hilariously cheap. I can do 1000 disks for a buck fifty each, and that's shipped.
Advertising is probably the most expensive aspect of it all. Localization; I imagine I could find some fansub groups willing to sell their localization to start and go from there.
True. At least the asian ones don't push cultural marxism and make sjws.
If you were a multi-billionaire and genuinely didn't care about profits, you could break into the market with just the power of your money, because that is ultimately what matters the most. An anime costs several millions to make? Hell, you could just drop 50 million for your first project to get you into the door, and people would be begging you to get involved. Netflix is a traditional company that is still trying to make profits, but with that kind of money you're not constrained the same way they are.
And I would sell anime at ridiculously low prices, like entire seasons on BD for cheap, just to fuck over Japan and its current stupid "strategy" that only nets sales in the low thousands for even its most popular series.
>Localization; I imagine I could find some fansub groups willing to sell their localization
Why would anyone buy your disc when a fansubber already put it out months ago for free?
>If I already had the contacts why would I need to fly to japan
How do you intend to "get" contacts?
What's wrong with just buying it on dlsite?
I've been away for a while, how should I search this in the archive to know more?
>Why would anyone buy your disc when a fansubber already put it out months ago for free?
Why would anyone buy BD's when they just recorded it on tv months ago for free?
>How do you intend to "get" contacts?
I was operating under this premise:
>I just wish I had the connections to try and bring an anime stateside.
don't worry lads, gonna buy the state run oil industry from my country and fund spice and wolf season 3 asap
The Internet Fucking Exists, Market Directly to your Fans.
????
>And I would sell anime at ridiculously low prices, like entire seasons on BD for cheap, just to fuck over Japan and its current stupid "strategy" that only nets sales in the low thousands for even its most popular series.
So this is actually interesting stuff, depending on who you work with, unless you throw around the "fuck you" levels of money, might not give you a license because they worry about reverse importing, meaning all the japs buy the cheap USA releases.
See heres the thing. On one hand, you have the western arts market using Patreon and look at its current state. Its the most parasitic and manipulative system ever, the pure nature of "helping out and assissting artists becomes more of a market to leech out on their fanbase"
So you have Japan which DOES NOT DO patreon, but that means they generally "retain their integrity" to "do first, profit next; NOT VICE VERSA"
So I do want them to do donations but if they spiral the same way the western system does, it becomes completely pointless.
...
Why not use kickstarter, it worked for LWA
We can only fucking dream.
>worked
Even if there was a way to directly contribute to an anime studio, none of you fuckos would do anything.
Stop trying to justify your shitty pirating ways. You contribute absolutely nothing to the industry.
I have disposable income. Not EVERYONE on this board is a NEET. Also, if they follow a model like free to play games, all they need is a few whales.
>I just wish I had the connections to try and bring an anime stateside.
Nobody in the industry would be willing to deal with some guy on the internet that they never saw in person. Even the smaller operations like AnimEigo had at least one guy whose job it was to go to Japan and meet people in person to try and get licensing contracts.
>tfw can't throw 3k us dollars at my favorite artist so he go back to futa on futa.
>The first and most important duty of every human being is to produce enough valuable work to sustain and continue human society when they can
nice meme
Why live?
i'm tired of these 3 inch shota dicks fucking my futas
end my suffering
at least chinbotsu didn't went for the shota meme god bless
Sites like DLsite cuts a large percentage from the sales. IIRC the creator of teaching feeling or some other guy recommended his fans to buy directly from him on his blog rather than on DLsite.
>giving away your money
Why are people in this thread blaming CR etc.? In OP's scenario it sounds more like the local distributor is to blame for forcing the deal to go through one of those, and taking a cut on top of the foreign distributor's cut.
Which, if true, was probably in the contract that the creators initially signed, so they're still fucking themselves either way.
You could but a single bluray volume a year and contribute way more than with a CR subscription.
Because CR and Amazon and the others do exactly the same thing with what comes into their hands? Which makes the spread even smaller in profit for the artist.
But hey, if you want to believe (((CR))) that they distribute well back to the author (but haha they're not going to tell you any numeric figures or percentages or anything because "We assure you, they are compensated well :P"), then by all means live in that naive world.
>Instead of importing
Why would someone want to give their money to the propagandists at "cool japan"?
