ДВД проти фансабів, THAT Animeblog  December 17, 2007

Цікавий пост про фансаби (і все таке…) на THAT Animeblog. Я починаю розуміти, що коли говорять люди, які справді дивляться фансаби, вони говорять одне й те саме (якщо трохи подумають при цьому…)

Lupus каже:

In Japan, anime is aired on TV, so it’s basically free (barring the cost of a TV, electricity, a house in which to place said TV and intelligence to connect said electricity to said TV). In America, and the rest of the English speaking world, we get some anime aired on TV, but not stuff that any sane adult would waste time watching. So when we think of DVDs in Japan and DVDs in America, we need to realise that they are very different things that fulfill different purposes. In Japan, DVDs are collectibles for the fans, whereas in America DVDs are the original product and the only means of access to most anime.

У Японії є ТБ і ДВД, в Америці є тільки ТБ…

Далі:

In a perfect world, fansubs would act like the broadcast anime in Japan and give people a taste of what the show is like. If you like a show, you go out and buy the DVDs at reasonable prices and get some bonus material in the bargain.

Фансаби заміняють собою етап телебачення…

І ще:

TV series are first aired on TV, and as such they get another source of revenue: advertising.

Телебачення працює на рекламній моделі…

І, до речі:

…fansubbers (who would become paidsubbers) can work together with the licensees…

Фансабери могли би бути платними саберами…

Нарешті:

In fact, would the anime DVD market even exist if not for the fansubbing community? Fansub is what created the awareness of anime in America in the first place. It is the best free advertising there is. Additionally, the way it’s working now, it’s no different than when television shows are aired for free on TV. Do you ever hear the television companies screaming that the TV broadcast are stealing their DVD sales (admittedly, they get advertising revenue from showing their shit on TV)?

Перефразовуючи: фансаби — найкраще місце для реклами; не треба їх ображати — краще головою подумати…

Hi, this is Lupus, who wrote the post. I’d really like to read your thoughts on my post, can you please translate them to English?

It’s a bit selfish to ask after so long, and I apologise for the delay in getting to you.

hi, Lupus! it’s not really “thoughts”, just highlights from your post plus brief translations in Ukrainian.

thing is, i’d already written something similar: it’s a loooong rant post called “The state of anime industry” (in Ukrainian) (it was reaction on editorial by Justin Sevakis on ANN); in brief it says that aforementioned editorial is (mostly) bullshit, and that all the industry can to do under such circumstances is to adopt fansubs, to monetize them (not to fight them); and it can be done in two ways:

1. add ads to fansubs (whether we like it or not);
2. use established means of fansub distribution (hire fansubbers, use torrents etc).

it seemed to me that you think roughly the same way. ^__^
