Sentai22vlogs:Bandai entertainment Cancels New anime and manga releases

[hilarioph]

I will support the Anime industry. For all the people

here in the Philippines let's support the Anime

industry. Not those bad Mexico dramas ok

I thing things like this were inevitable, with how Tokyo Pop cashed and burned, partly thnaks to over saturating the market and partly thanks to a horrendus movie Van Von Hunter. Bandai is mostly blaming the fans through fansubs ans such, but as I'm sure we all know fansubs are what this industry was built on. Naruto was first seen through fansubs by Dattabyo who to this day did(they were taken down some time last year) the best subs, not just for fansubbing but professionals too.

@Isamu00000 this is a long one so bear with me

Bandai as you said still has markey plans of 10-20 years ago but that's not the only issue they had. Most anime/manga fans are young and not very wealthy and can't afford how expensive they make DVDs, manga is still fairly cheep. But 20 bucks for maybe 5 episodes is a lot for the anime demographic, 15-25. The most popular series have well over 300 eps a piece and it's insane how expensive it is to own it all, in DVD or Manga. Lets use One Piece

@Isamu00000

for example, it has 529 episodes, at 5 a DVD that's 106 DVDs, not doing the season collections, and for a cheep DVD it's 15, that's $1,590 for just the anime and that is too much for even the more well off fans. The manga 64 volumes at $8 a volume is $512 for the manga. All of the Big 3 have about the same amount of money need to own it. I am a die hard OP fan but HELL no will I ever pay for it all, so I either stream episodes or get scans of the manga. this is where most fans stop

And most fans don't really give back to the industry, which we need to do if we want anime to still come to America. What I do to support my animes/Manga is to buy the figures, games and other things they make off them. I realize anime games usually suck but if we support them they might get better. What companies like Bandai need to do is make their goods affordable for their fans, like you said direct downloads if they did One Piece

[Isamu00000]

@Isamu00000

as 1.99 an episode over iTunes and you get sub and dub I's probably buy it and if they did some season deal for example a season for $30 I would hop on that. Anime is a niche market in America so they really need better means of getting it to their fans to survive as a company. Possibly the best and worst thing to happen to is Toonami. Toonami introduced millions to anime and really set it off in America

but they initially put anime on because Cartoon Network was still new and

[Isamu00000]

@Isamu00000

couldn't afford to do much animation of their own, airing already drawn and dubbed anime was vastly cheaper, so they did it, and damn did it work out for them. But as time passed they started airing less and less in Toonami, some shows moves to Adult Swim and some shows they just stopped airing after a few runs. Eventually Toonami was just a 2 hour block of Naruto running through the 100+ episodes of horrid filler that really made people stop watching.

[Isamu00000]

@Isamu00000

The anime on Adult Swim did thwe same thing as they were young it was on, on a all Saturday night block and it was awesome, I'd stay up all night to watch them all, but as they made more money they did their own shows, and kept some anime but pushed it back, to now you can watch Cowboy Bebop quite possible the best dubed anime 5 in the damn morning. Airing like this needs to change, we need to return to how it was in the early 2000s having a midday block of anime for all the kids

[Isamu00000]

@Isamu00000

and older fans to watch. If they did they now a days it would give the anime industry a much needed boost, that and return Saturday morning cartoons to the way they were in the 90s but still have a pokemon like series to get those kids all riled up to buy they toys. I'm stopping now because at this point I've written you a freaking paper, I'd have done a video response but I look like crap and don't know how. Night Sentai22
