In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Gender and Audience Reception of English-Translated Manga
    Girly Girls and Pretty Boys: Gender and Audience Reception of English-translated Manga June M. Madeley University of New Brunswick, Saint John Introduction Manga is the term used to denote Japanese comic books. The art styles and publishing industry are unique enough to warrant keeping this Japanese term for what has become transnational popular culture. This paper represents a preliminary analysis of interview data with manga readers. The focus of the paper is the discussion by participants of their favourite male and female characters as well as some general discussion of their reading practices. Males and females exhibit some reading preferences that are differentiated by gender. There is also evidence of gendered readings of male and female characters in manga. Manga in Japan are published for targeted gender and age groups. The broadest divisions are between manga for girls, shōjo, and manga for boys, shōnen. Unlike Canada and the USA, manga is mainstream reading in Japan; everyone reads manga (Allen and Ingulsrud 266; Grigsby 64; Schodt, Dreamland 21). Manga stories are first serialized in anthology magazines with a specific target audience. Weekly Shōnen Jump is probably the most well known because it serializes the manga titles that have been made into popular anime series on broadcast television in North America (and other transnational markets) such as Naruto and Bleach. Later, successful titles are compiled and reprinted as tankobon (small digest-sized paperback books). The tankobon is the format in which manga are translated into English and distributed by publishers with licensing rights purchased from the Japanese copyright holders. Translated manga are also increasingly available through online scanlations produced by fans who are able to translate Japanese to English.

  • On Manga, Mimetics and the Feeling of (Reading A) Language
    2017 | Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 1 (1) CAPACIOUS On Manga, Mimetics and the Feeling of (Reading a) Language Toward a Situated Translational Practice Gretchen Jude UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS Graphic novels, by combining images with printed words, engage readers in narrative experiences comparable to the immersive quality of cinema. The rich tradition of manga, Japan’s venerable and wide-ranging graphic narrative form, employs an array of graphical and linguistic strategies to engage readers, bodily as well as mentally and emotionally. Among these strategies, Japanese mimetics: a grammatical class of sound words, work efectively to transmit aural, tactile, and proprioceptive states. Yet most Japanese mimetics have no English equivalent and can only be expressed with phrase-length explanations or glosses; the somatic nature of mimetics thus resists translation. By grappling with the question of how to efectively express in English such translation-resistant linguistic forms, the author explores approaches to translation that attend to embodied and afective states such as those induced by mimetics. Experimental translational practices may thus attend to the afective and bodily-lived pressures felt when experiencing the in-between-ness of language(s). The structure of this paper accordingly follows the trajectory of a journey through (one reader’s) translation and translational practice.

  • A Critical Analysis of the Subculture of Fan Subbing and Scanlation of Japanese Media and Copyright Law
    2017 HNLU STUDENT BAR JOURNAL VOLUME III A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SUBCULTURE OF FAN SUBBING AND SCANLATION OF JAPANESE MEDIA AND COPYRIGHT LAW * - Govind Abhijith ABSTRACT This paper seeks to address the phenomenon of fan subbing and scanlation of online media notably of Japanese Anime and Manga, the unique sub-culture that has developed around it and the interrelationship of these aesthetics with our understanding of intellectual property laws. The advent of digital technology and increased global connectivity has, created a predicament for the entertainment industry specifically and copyright law generally. To some, the anime industry and its fans offer examples of how an industry can benefit and even grow from allowing copyright infringement. This lacuna if addressed properly could benefit the globalisation of the anime and Japanese entertainment industry and must not be clubbed together under a formulaic approach as is done with various other P2P file sharing data. The Author suggests ways to take a pragmatic approach while examining the moral standpoint of fansub groups, the marketing strategy for publishers and the various legal approaches that have been previously made against this often touted grey area of the copyright system. * Graduate, B.A.LL.B (Hons.), National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS), Kochi. 51 | P a g e 2017 HNLU STUDENT BAR JOURNAL VOLUME III I. INTRODUCTION Fan culture appears in different mediums of expression. Among the most noted and recognized in fan culture is fan-fiction. At the opposing end of the fan culture genre is fansubbing 1 Fansubbing, otherwise known as fan-subtitled, 2 is defined primarily as “an unauthorized translation in the form of subtitles.”3 The definition, however, as it appears on many websites of fansub groups is “a video subtitled by fans.”4 There are two main styles of fansub translations: softsubs and hardsubs.
