My views on Anime and USA Dubs Vs Fansubs and Anime legit in Australia
I recently talked to a person that didn't like my views on Anime and I would like to express my views publicly
you might not like them but everyone has their own choices , views and tastes . I don't like the taste of coke
for example , but its very popular , does that make me right or wrong . No , it means I have my own choice of dislike
and likes and others have their own. The Whole Population does not have to like the same thing.
USA Dubs vs Asian Audio with Subs (Fansub or licensed)
I only like Asian made Anime in Asian Speaking Language and subs.
(I do enjoy some [not all] American and non asian cartoons , eg Lilo and Stitch,
Transformers, astro boy, new starwars tv show)
(Anime as I define is Cartoon Animation that comes from Asian , starts off in Audio Language ,
is subbed and then altered and changed [names,voices,references] to suit USA childreen/USA
people market then takes longer to filter to non USA english speaking places, eg Australia)
Just to Clarify again :-
Cartoon = Animation (TV/Media) in English as its original audio source, animation made in USA/non asia
Comic Book = Physical Book that depicks with pictures and words a story line without animation, made in USA/non asia
Anime = Animation (TV/Media) in Asian (Japanese) as its original audio source, animation made in asia
then re 'licensed' to USA to be altered , edited , changed and USA voice dub's added for world wide English
speaking market
Manga = Physical Book that depicks with pictures and words a story line without animation, made in asia
(Note: The amount of times in my life that people call Manga , anime is VERY BIG and VERY ANNOYING after the 100'th time)
Why I don't support buying ""USA licensed Anime" in Australia
Note: COST is not main factor of the issue
- I don't support buying anime that has DUEL (both) American USA Dubs and Asian Subs.
I want to support anime in its original format with subs added without american voices at all on the media
- Anime companies in USA/AU dont support the English speaking Market that wants subbed legit anime , why support them ?
- I don't want to support anime that takes a HUGE LONG TIME to go from Asia , to USA , to AU (1 to 6 years)
- I don't want to support australian anime re distrubution companies that dont support the market of anime watchers
that dont want to support subs only anime media
- Cost - Start off cheaper (just like USA movie/tv discs) , a lot of series are 10 to 25 eps . Now when you look at TV show boxsets lately a season (11 to 22-25) is like 25 to 70 bucks . Why can't anime be like that from the begining ?
Digital Download:-
- If I could buy/pay for the latest Asian Anime eps at AU$0.05 cents to AU$1.00 via Digital Download
I would consider it . Considering Bleach would be the first series I would support and often with it
its 25 eps per ARC (not season) then 25 bucks for 25 eps would be like a USA DVD Boxset.
At the moment most digital download anime is via USA based companies and its old shows which I have no interested in , they are old , chances are its OVER and finished and I could get it on Retail DVD.
The whole point I find of Digital Download is to support something at the SAME time around the world at a REDUCED PRICED then the Retail cost (shop bought) and FASTER then waiting for Retail market.
What I am saying and not saying
Offer choice for the Anime English speaking market :-
Sure release Animation thats made in Asia with USA voice dubs and very low quality dubs by USA companies BUT
- START TO OFFER ANIME DIRECT FROM ASIAN COMPANIES with subs THEY put on their own ANIME and export
to USA/AU/English speaking countries AHEAD of time of the Dub'ed releases and offer the non USA dubb'ed releases
CHEAPER to the legit market .
- Release Anime season boxsets cheaper without USA Dubs in Australia and USA
(Also clearly label these boxsets displaying warning like NO ENGLISH AUDIO
so idiots dont buy it then bitch ,ohh no series xzy i got cheap off this company has no english audio)
- Release Anime Movies with Eng Subs at the same time the Movie comes out in Asia
EG Bleach and Naruto , I would of enjoyed to pay to see the Bleach and Naruto movies
at the local Brisbane Movies then WAIT A YEAR too YEAR and 6 months to watch it.
- Release Anime a lot faster in Australia and NO not everyone enjoys watching Dragon Ball Z on AU TV in the morning
(actually some people watching that show feel like throwing up)
Update:
Just reading about upcoming Bleach Anime Upcoming eps and its a typical example what I am saying , notice
the R2 (Japan) DVD's and its date you can buy them , yet the USA ones are FARRRRRRRRR behind
