  • Manga readers lack the “collector mentality” of comic book fans and also tend to be both young and tech savvy.  The fact that manga is “long-form” entertainment, with many series running to dozens of volumes (Naruto Vol. 48 is due out in June), even taking into account the fact that manga is very attractively priced compared with traditional American graphic novels, it is very expensive to collect the entire series in paper.

      Well, I'm not sure that manga readers lack the "collector mentality", since serialization is at the very basis of manga, but as pointed out later in the paragraph, collecting the 100+ volumes of Naruto or buying the 20+ boxes of its anime adaptation is probably out of reach for the younger wallets. Basically, the industry has tried to milk people a bit too much by producing over-extended narratives. Moreover, they might have over-estimated people's capacity to follow the same hero over decades. Only very few narratives have been able to achieve this feat.

      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". In general terms, "anime" is used to refer to animated series for TV broadcast and video distribution. For a journalist who claims to have an inside knowledge of this audiovisual univers, that's quite a confusion to make!
  • The manga aesthetic has spawned a film genre called anime, such as Spirited Away

    "'BL' (Boys' Love), a genre of male homosexual narratives (consisting of manga, novels, animations, games, films, and so forth) written by and for women, has recently been acknowledged, by Japanese and non-Japanese scholars alike, as a significant component of Japanese popular culture. The aesthetic and style of Japanese BL have also been assumed, deployed and transformed by female fans transnationally. The current thrust of transnational BL practices raises a number of important issues relating to socio/cultural constructs of BL localization and globalization. Scholarly endeavors in relation to BL can be enriched by further research concerning the activities of transnational BL fans, fan communities, fandom, and the production of fan fiction. Most previous BL fan studies have remained circumscribed to Japan and North America. Therefore, in order to further develop transnational BL fan studies, we are seeking contributors who are engaged in the exploration of non-Japanese and non-North American contexts (e.g. Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, and others). Transnational BL fan studies may also be incorporated into the broader socio/political critical frameworks offered by studies in economics, gender/sexuality, race/class, and other areas. "

    For those who are studying fandom and Boy's Love, this might be an opportunity to share your researches!
