Yeah. This won’t kill the industry, however it will have a reversed effect…

Just like the late 90s/early 2000s mp3 boom. People will find a way to get around it somehow.

The fans hold the most power, of all.

  No, that’s a stupid idea. No one would buy those fansubbed episodes. Maybe if they were true 720p and $0.50. I could spend 50 cent on an episode of anime but I’ll just get it elesewhere for free rather than $2. You can watch all episodes of many series’ on Crunchyroll and it’s only $7/mo.

  It’s not a case of companies being technologicially impaired, it’s the limitations of the DVD standards. DVD subs can’t be anti-aliased, at least not completely. DVD subs can’t do karaoke effects, unless they’re hardsubbed. What exactly is “common sense placement”? Fansubs don’t use common sense placement either, as their subs often hug the borders of the image and drag viewers’ eyes away from the main action.

In the past Hollywood had gotten hold of a few of these titles and in their travesty of translation completely destroyed the whole …

  wait, isn’t this the country that has no industrial espionage laws? Wouldn’t fansubbing fall directly under that category? Anime is part of the Entertainment Industry right?

  What if the whole movie was actually a huge joke and the end was it zooming out to reveal that everyone in the club was watching the movie and was shocked at how bad it was

  Anime simply does not adapt well to live action.Fans are immediately turned off because the characters do not look like their anime counerparts (How could they?) and anime plots often require a suspension of belief that is difficult to get in a ‘real world’ setting.

  Anon 21:27 here. encoje is right, I didn’t mean that all Asian people look the same. Maybe should’ve formulated it better. And who the fuck is Rick Perry? (yeah, I googled it, but write this nonetheless… sorry, not from the US. maybe YOU were discriminating, assuming everyone is from North America?) I’m white and I am fully able to differentiate between people of all ethnics / skin colors / whatever you wanna call it. Statistics say that to people of one skin color people of the others look …
