......

fan subs are illigal?

>implying that english voice actors are worthy of support

What about all those series that will never get licensed ?
What if the English Voice Acting sucks dicks?
What if I buy the DVD's and use English Subtitles with Moon Voices?

I don't want to support English voice actors though.

Fan subs are perfectly legal to be shown outside Japan if the series in question has not been licensed.

Of course they are illegal, it's pirating. They release the DVDs with subs and a dub included almost always. But you guys are too stupid/poor to buy an anime every now and again. It's you guys' fault that no anime ever airs here anymore. Jerks.

I'm not going to support people who ruin things that I like.

I would punch anyone I saw with that

>support english voice actors
Yeah, no. They're shit.

>>35078864
No, pretty sure it's still illegal.

>>35078877
>It's you guys' fault that no anime ever airs here anymore.
Rather this then having to listen to shitty english dubs.

enjoy no sales

Say no to ugly yellow subs.

>>35078877

>>35078877
if it's illegal, it wouldn't be so hard to get a hold of, we have TECHNOLOGY and SCIENCE to help with all that.

I might buy that mousepad for irony.

>>35078924
Not buying DVDs doesn't just mean dubs will disappear, but subs as well!

Even if you can just get fansubs if the industry collapses, pirating is actually the problem that the Japanese industry faces.

>>35078919

No, it's not. Their licensing does not cover overseas.

How to sell me DVDs:

Don't even bother with English voice actors. Just sell me some subbed anime.
Learn to sub. People who do this shit for free are doing it much better.

>>35078919
Its really not. If no one has the right to sell it, you arent hurting the company, so it cant be illegal. Many series never come to america, so how could they sue someone from stealing from them a product that they never sold?

You need a license.

THEY TURK OER JERBS!!!

seriously. i have to make do with animax dubs - we don't get FUNI or what not.

i'm learning japanese and moving to japan if they make fansubs illegal.

but i heard they have a special hate fr indians over at japan :/

The subs themselves are not illegal.

I like how the "FAN SUBS" is *in front of* the symbol.

I'd buy it to troll you all, except it would still make me a powerlevelfag.

Sure, I'd prefer to listen to some random untalented girl's voice instead of Ueda Kana's kansai accent.

>>35079035
>how could they sue someone from stealing from them a product that they never sold?
Because copyright says they can. Not that they will. Just saying.

>>35079011
pirating has been an issue for about 10,000 years, people have learned to deal with it.

And japan as a retarded sales model where they sell THREE episodes per DVD, for $20+.

Only retarded japs buy that shit, they should be thanking us for dropping a bomb on them so big it made them dumb enough to pay that much.

>>35079035
>Its really not
Yes it is. Maybe not in any country outside of Japan (even though international law still applies), but considering where the source of all fansubs and raws are from, it doesn't make it any less illegal.
People on the other side of the world have never been jailed for it, so it kind of balances out.
Of course, once it happens, you guys are fucked.

I feel like this is the poor state of the dubfags I fight on Blazblue haha.

>>35079144
You dont understand how copyrights work do you?

You have to buy an country/international copyright, and you have to constantly renew it. Then can cost tens of thousands of dollars every year for an international one.

Companies do not get copyrights for countries they do not plan to sell in.

>>35079160
ITT: people who dont know anything about laws.

Nice troll attempt OP. 1/10

>say no to fan subs
yeah I'm in general pretty anti-pira...
>support English voice actors
wut

>>35079245
You're right about that. I really don't know shit about laws.
Bluffing usually always works.

If Japan starts putting complete series on BR/DVD's instead of 2 episodes per release then I shall gladly import, but until then; fuck right off.

>>35079151
>And japan as a retarded sales model where they sell TWO episodes per DVD, for $60+.

Fixed that for you.

And to add into the conversation, what they were referring to is the fact that people are downloading the fansubs of series already released in North America, not series not yet released in America. The best way the anime industry can counter piracy is to offer the same shows in Japan in roughly the same timeframe in English in downloadable format. Even allow the user to use their own subtitles.

>>35079220

Was just about to say this. The copyright the animation companies applied for ONLY exists within Japan. It can be shown overseas if it is for non commercial reasons.

Companies make more money from licensing merchandise than the actual product... probably.

>>35078757
Why must I suppose Wendee Lee and Johnny Yong Basch? I bet they have enough money as is.

>Plan to support Seto no Hanayome by purchasing the english DVDs
>Funimation has changed the name to "My Bride is a Mermaid"
That's ok I guess
>Funimation has changed every instance of the word "chivalry" to "thievery"
>Chivalry and Thievery have nothing whatsoever to do with one another
Funimation can go fuck themselves

>>35079525
I heard about that. Something like "Honour among thieves"
Shit, that's stupid.

I don't support the American anime industry. Quite the opposite, in fact. The fonts, translations and overall quality of merchandise on our side is pure shit (see >>35079525), and there will always be a strong anime industry overseas, anyway. Not to mention, less anime brought over here means less faggots fucking up the medium for the rest of us.

tl;dr Fansubs are superior.

I can't tell if people are trolling or are really ignorant of international copyright

>>35079525
this is why anime fails in america, we dont want they fucking Americanization.

I remember watching the eva dvds and had cometary about how the VC were so proud of how they americanized the translation.

fucking retards.

I mean we dont even have good VCs in america, look at movies...all the VC in animated ones are just normal movie actors. Robin williams, jerry seinfeld, morgan freedman ect

>>35079525
That alone keeps me from buying the DVDs.
That, and the l33t speak.

>>35079525
to be fair, "chivalry" doesn't convey the yakuza connotations of "ninkyou" for shit

>>35079684

Elaborate please.

>>35079734
"Chivalry" is still better than "HONOR AMONG THIEVES IS HONOR UNDER THE SEAS".

Violent tween detected.

I like dubs over subs because I don't have to pause it every 5 seconds for a translators note: uguu means kawaii

I thought this might be some look at how fansubbing affects the industry in Japan, then

> Support English Voice Actors

HA HA HA NO

holy shit i'm so buying this

>>35079071
It's alright, they hate everyone who's not Japanese.

ha ha ha i needed that i really did, i do buy anime dvd's but only to watch the subs, I hardly ever watch the dubs due to fact they are an inferior product.
