I disagree with the Japanese Stance.

Movies now are going pretty cheap around Australia/America say about $30 AUS for an entire season on Seinfield etc and even imported ones are going cheaply nowadays but what about Anime?

Anime is pretty static in price they still remain $60 for a series regardless whether its good or not, this goes against the trend and no one will ever buy this up.

  Some talk about bad dubs reminds me of these Digimon dubs. Finnish “talent” at it’s best. Would I pay for this? No. Would I watch this from TV?

  Sure go ahead an blame the foreign human right activist for all of it while your dear politicians continue to bow to every command the activists lay while licking their shoes. The issue you guys have is that your politicians are making easy popularity points out of content bans because you 2ch people barely unite anywhere outside the internet where any data can be easily dismissed as made up. We never see you guys do actual movements to go against all this. All you do is stay behind the …

  I think in some cases the western companies deserve a big chunk of the blame I mean look at the Macross series, 7 and F did not come out internationally for very good reasons I must say

  You’re talking about the very few occasions where the local DVD’s actually come out. Take the three Eldora robot animes for an example, you gotta have some crazy amounts of love to be still waiting for that one

  I was always under the impression the Yakuza has always been involved in a lot of Japanese businesses. This is hardly surprising.

  If someone tried this with Lady Gaga, they’d probably not only be laughed out of court but likely find themselves having her shoe surgically removed form their rear end. Amazing how fan creepiness and demanding stuff of celebrities is practically allowed in Japan, whereas in the US you’d be regarded as a complete dumbass for trying to dictate how a person should live just because you buy their CD.
