Knock it off: Global treaty against media piracy won't work in Asia - 1 views

      This is a well-written article that illustrates the contribution of Asian audiovisual entertainment companies to the evolution of this industrial sector worldwide. It is another sign of the way this whole industry's balance is tipping progressively towards Asia. It doesn't mean that Hollywood and the rest of the Western side of this industry is loosing its ground, but that it has to share it more and more with the Asian side on the global scene.

      I hope Hayao Miyazaki isn't reading this! The last term he'd use to qualify his animation cinema is "anime".

    "He says the "Holy Grail" of Japanese developers has long been "to produce AstroBoy - a humanoid, companion robot." Hornyak says such a robot is likely possible in the long run, but he worries that pursuit of a Jetsons-style "servant robot in the household. .. has blinded (Japanese companies) to more common, useful possibilities.""

    Diverse depictions of the WWII German army exist in Japanese popular
    culture. This essay will explore the origins of the Japanese fandom devoted to German military technology and also the way that authors have (re)produced stereotypes related to German culture and traditions in their portrayals of wartime Germany. Finally, using examples by authors Tezuka Osamu and Aramaki Yoshio, this essay will identify the representation of both Japanese and German war crimes in Japanese manga and popular fiction as a significant discursive trend that calls into question assumptions about anti-war thought in contemporary Japan.
