Weird.

France has many official localisations.

Nearly all the mangas are several arcs behind Japan. Lacks this simulcast aspect if you will.

French manga industry must be dead, oh wait.

You don't get to decide whether or not it's an issue either ltm.

The market will decide.

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

There it is.

You want Anime to stay niche.

We currently have one of the first attempts to make anime a little more mainstream via streaming services on a global scale and you reject it.

You just don't want the market to expand.

When you praise the previous model so much because of its status as something smaller in scale, you just fear actual growth.

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Well of course a competing service will try to get the best shows it can.

That's what I would do.

But hey you know what centralised absolutely everything in the UK?

Sky! And when they became the only dog in town, subscription prices went through the roof.

Do I want the same thing to happen to anime? Nope.

I pay for crunchyroll to get the library, I pay for Netflix to get a nice selection of British shows and films, anime is a bonus and I do watch it at times through there

Ltm stop making the baseless assumption your viewing habits are the only ones.

All your credibility goes flying out the window with that.

Anime is a business. If the data they have shows that releasing content in batches works, they will do this. If it doesn't they will change.

Large enterprises adapt to the market.

If anime is a failure for Netflix, they will drop it and we will go back to a seller's market. This will allow crunchyroll to regain the leverage they have lost.
---

If everything is centralised around crunchyroll and they have no competition, it's not that great for anime production houses and groups.

If Netflix and amazon are bidders in this race, then they are selling themselves to the anime industry. These bids can include, we will commission this amount of work!

This means crunchy can either bid against them, which means better offers for anime groups, or target lesser known, but perhaps still solid titles.

This is still fairly new, so let's see what happened in a more developed industry.

The French manga industry

In this industry you don't have one, but many companies publishing manga all competing against each other.

This has led to a massive spike in the number of officially localised mangas and dvds. The French public now has access to so many manga that can only be found through fan scans in English. This is a good thing for French fans who get to buy so many titles and the Japanese publishing houses.

I mean if Japan is unable to sell its product overseas and has to rely on just the domestic market, how does that work out for everyone?

Yes, LtM, you are John McClane and Fate is your Waifu, who you will try to rescue from Hans Netflix.

Not realising, that when multiple companies with money are competing for exclusive services, it means they are....funding studios that could use that money!

That money see, gets turned into new shows! Which then get distributed on the platforms that paid for this product.

If two big companies known for producing original content on their platform outsource to the people with the skills to create this content they want, those people receive money they wouldn't have before!

This adds something called financial security. Will it be a blanket lifeline for everyone?

No, because anime is still a business, where you pay for what your research shows will be worth having.

This also doesn't prevent companies receiving those monies....from mismanaging it.

Licensing anime to a platform that 100m subscribers is actually....not a bad thing. If even just 400k subscribers watch this show on a 6 month delay, that's still potentially 400k extra fans watching on a paid service.

Let's take a look at Nyaa, since it came back up. I see Fate/Apocrypha got 35k downloads, I'm sure once you add all the various DDLs and streams the number gets a good deal higher. But even if just 200k watch each ep of Fate, that's not actually a bad number.

In 2-3 years, if the anime shows perform well, maybe Netflix and Amazon will decide to put more money into these projects. Which could lead to higher production quality. Anime is very cheap to produce compared to their other major projects.

Why don't we also nominate the Square Enix CEO while we're at it? Wasn't he like a super boss in FFXV or a demo of it?

I like where you're going with this.

I'm gonna take seriously the guy who is acting like this is a matter of life and death.

I don't even know if I'm arguing with LtM, or if I'm arguing with the parroted opinions of some podcast.

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

Uuuuuh, sure I watch some shows as they air, in fact some of these shows....are not anime

gasp

I don't have to watch 20 anime series as they air, especially when a bunch of them aren't any good. If I'm gonna pirate, I'd rather pirate Shintamachi Rocket or Hanzawa Naoki which blow your average anime series out of the water.

Why the fuck should I bitch about a series that I won't care about in 6 months? If the series is good, then it'll still be good in 6 months.

You think I pay a lot of money to see every hot new movie that's in theatres? Like....no? If the movie's good, I'll still watch it months later....sometimes on Netflix or Amazon!
---

Congrats to Eli Ayase's #1 fan BK_Sheikah00 on winning the BYIG Guru Contest.

....sure?

I don't even think Netflix's current anime model is permanent, but I think the long term benefits of having all these big money players involved will be pretty good.

Even when Crunchyroll had everything I couldn't watch them all as it aired. I have both services, I don't mind.

Ltm bringing the market analytics there.

No but for real, when all of the most powerful media streaming entities enter the same game around the same time, things will get better in a hurry for us.

Hoping these big power plays force amazon to drop the secondary entry barrier and then I'm gold.

Huh

Seems like all these cost cutting measures of late by the WWE is because those trips projects are getting expensive to maintain.

Gonna be great when he takes over. I can actually see the two of them just cash out for a billion and then just leave the business happy to maintain a good image.

Guy doesn't have genius level wrestling iq like naito or okada.

He's just uuuh Batista if Batista had Jack swagger's or Chad gable's amateur wrestling background.

But they have high hopes for him, so let's see which path they take to try and turn him into a main event attraction.
