Urrggghhh. Why can't the anime industry release a show that is not full of 2 dimensional moe characters and unnecessary fan service? This is really getting old. |

In terms of ecchi it's fairly standard. I liked what I read, but too bad the scanlation stopped. |

As with any industry, their goal is to make money. Making moe and fanservice anime makes money, since the people who buy these kinds of anime are much more dedicated to the culture. People who are into the other kinds of anime, like the dark serious stuff, typically aren't hardcore anime fans in Japan, so they aren't going to spend a lot of money on buying DVDs and merchandise. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to pander to them. You pander to the people who have the money to burn. |

It's not that I bash people's liking to this type, nor am I discriminating the whole ecchi community. What I was saying was that it have started to take over completely. About 40-50% of what's released in Japan at the moment always contain these three genres: School life, ecchi and harem. None of those are bad, but with all three combined, the outcome is pretty obvious. I don't need to say it, you know it. While there is no problem that it exists, having the largest majority of the industry is a problem. As a side note, when I visited Tokyo, Akihabara two weeks ago, I saw how the manga and anime (mostly anime) was treated there. The whole place was covered with giant moe posters and stores covered mostly with Ecchi (Not to mention all the Maids on the street who tried to promote the restaurants they worked in). I had to struggle to find a series that was not about these things. So my point is that these type of shows we get far too often, the whole industry will be swallowed by it, especially if these shows get imported to the states. Imagine a future when people think about anime, they will think about cartoon porn. Does anybody want that? |

While there is no problem that it exists, having the largest majority of the industry is a problem. I'll tell you a piece of shocking news then: it was always like that. It was like that back in 1990's, in 1980's and 1970's as well. The whole anime industry and culture was built around moe and fanservice, it's just back then it wasn't defined as that. If you think the anime industry is something else, you're probably living under a rock. Just check all those old titles...say, Galaxy Express 999 or other Leiji titles that are filled with eroticism, check those numerous sci-fi shows from 1980's, with girls in skimpy outfits, bare boobs and pantyshots, and I'm not even going to mention Cleopatra etc. Fanservice was always the integral part of anime culture. There even was a saying back in 1990's among anime fans, that an anime without fanservice is not anime at all.

Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with being a shonen-fag, I've had a fair shair of shonen shows. Got to agree with you there, most ecchi are pointless, but some do deliver the mild amusement you need after a long series. SagaraYuzuru said: It's not that I bash people's liking to this type, nor am I discriminating the whole ecchi community. What I was saying was that it have started to take over completely. That's for certain yes. You have some animes that could've been great but getting tons of panty shots and girls falling into a ridiculous pose everytime they get pushed- that's just bad. I wasn't really trying to implicate you were- sorry if that was the impression you've gotten. I just think i'd be wise to see how it turns out, though ecchi dominates, it certainly would be nice to see more anime like Steins; Gate or Yuru Yuri. |

Furthermore, since when haven't people uninvolved with anime thought of it as anything but cartoon porn? Its been that way forever. Too many damn people complain about the industry these days... |

All anime is cool with me, so I would accept it if the industry did go to that extreme, but it would still be a shame to see it solely take that path. And if you are admitting that complaining is a valid method of getting change, good luck with that. It won't work. The animation companies, as I have said, will not listen to you or anyone else, so you might as well shut up. |

I'll take this on, it's pretty much Hen Zemi without the education. As for the complaint about fanservice, ecchi, and the matter oh please stop bickering and enjoy anime, fanservice is here to stay not even Big Tyrant could stop it. However there needs to be more loli ecchi titles, I'm a bit tired of mostly tits in my anime. Flatten it out a bit. |

If not, then I'll cite you instead if that's ok with you. But now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense what you said regarding older anime. I mean, I love Armitage III (1995) and Naomi looks hot in her skimpy clothes and yet, no complaints. Here's a more popular 90's anime movie as an example: Ghost In The Shell's opening credits. We get a great view of the major's hot naked body = NO complaints even from its "serious" fanbase. Even if it's only a few scenes, it still counts as eye candy resulting in cybernetic boners (LOL--just kidding). Slayers movies and OVAs have Naga (one of my fav characters) wearing a skimpy outfit = no complaints from the fans and non-fans (I can't help but admit that I love her outfit so cut me some slack). And what about Casca's great figure in the classic Berserk? I don't care if it's one scene or two, it still counts. I admit that I whistled seeing her body at that one forest. Again, cut me some slack. I could go and on. I dare ANYONE tell me I'm wrong. |

Yes, since you're butting into what another country likes and likely you don't even buy anime merchandise from Japan, so they don't give a damn what you say. They don't care if some foreigners boycott their stuff, the original studios don't even make money from anime released in foreign markets since its out of their hands once they sell the license. |

Not that I don't believe you, I'm just a sucker for learning what I like. The gist of his claim is correct - it really doesn't matter what some foreigner (i.e. non-Japanese in this case) thinks about anime. Unless someone imports JP discs, or buys loads of other imported merchandise, they're nearly irrelevant. And that goes doubly for the way western fans bitch endlessly about "ecchi" and how bad Japanese fans' taste is and blah blah blah. The specific claim about animation studios and their share of licensing revenue would be hard to prove or disprove - every show is created by a production committee, and each committee will be set up slightly differently, with different stakeholders (video distributor, music rights, broadcaster, merchandising company, original media publisher, animation studio, etc etc etc) getting varying slices of the revenue pie depending on the agreement worked out. On top of that, every foreign licensing agreement is subject to its own differing terms, so we have no way of saying that X, Y or Z did or didn't get some given amount of the licensing fee and/or slice of sales, or of profit, or whatever else. Sounds kind of complex, but I get what you're saying. Thanks, jmal. Did you know that I'm majoring in business? The term "stakeholders" just reminded me of project management which I learned about a month ago. But anyway, interesting. |

Really? I've always heard that the vast majority of the money they make from licensing comes when they make the actual agreement to license it. They might make some change here and there from actual sales, but nothing that is really close to the actual licensing cost. I guess you're right it might be different depending on the committees and such, but I'm talking about the "normal process" of how its done. |
