  • Many doujinshi creators have criticized Shogakukan for taking legal actions and generally making a big deal out of one doujinshi.
  • The doujinshi was sold at a doujin shop in Akihabara and via internet for around 500 yen, and managed to sell over over 13,000 copies before being stopped by Shogakukan.

  • Sales of fanzines had never really caused big problems so long as they were done only at one-day fanzine exhibitions. However, some fanzines now sell in the thousands or tens of thousands of copies due to an increase in the number of bookstores selling them and the popularity of Internet shopping.
  • Even after the man had stopped selling it by himself, his fanzine carrying Doraemon’s “final” episode continued to be sold at Internet auctions, sometimes going for tens of thousands of yen.
  • Yet the series remains unfinished due to Fujiko’s death in 1996.

  • We also cannot overlook the number of copies sold – 13,000 was too many.”
  • But we don’t categorically reject fanzines in general (as a base of manga culture) as long as they remain within reasonable bounds.
  • “If publishers basically approve the existence of such fanzines, the creation of a new rule should be studied, which would require fanzines selling more than a certain number of copies to pay part of their profits to copyright holders,” said Yukari Fujimoto, a social critic.

non-academic comics sexual_content children law

  • This week Parliament will discuss a new Bill which will make it a criminal offence to possess cartoons depicting certain forms of child abuse. If the Coroners and Justice Bill remains unaltered it will make it illegal to own any picture of children participating in sexual activities, or present whilst sexual activity took place. The Ministry of Justice claims that the Bill is needed to clamp down on the growing quantity of hardcore paedophilic cartoon porn available on the internet, particularly from Japan. But critics of the legislation say the current definitions are so sweeping that it risks stifling mainstream artistic expression as well as turning thousands of law abiding comic book fans into potential sex offenders.

      Inadequate description: Alan Moore is a writer, not an artist.

      Correct. Adjusted the keywords for this one to reflect that this is not an academic source (not that coming from the pen of a scholar makes something correct by definition -let's read all texts with this kind of vigilance).

  • A recent comment by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao decrying the lack of Chinese anime has incited a flurry of online support, with Chinese net users vigorously denouncing Japanese anime. The Premier started the fracas by publically lamenting the current poverty of Chinese visual culture: “There are times when I watch TV anime with my grandchild, but they’re always foreign works like Ultraman and so on, and few are domestically produced. We should be cultivating a domestic anime industry.”

    Although manga and animes aren't mentioned in the outline of this research project, it is certainly comprehended in the field being investigated, which is Japanese cinema. After all, animation is such an important element of Japanese audiovisual entertainment that it might be worth to propose topics about it.

    Widescreen aesthetics and technologies have been analysed almost exclusively in relation to American cinema practices. The proposed studentship will redress this imbalance by offering an in-depth analysis of the adoption, development, use and interpretation of widescreen cinema by Japanese studios and significant filmmakers. The 'mixed' nature of this area of Japanese film production will be apparent in comparisons drawn between Hollywood and Japanese productions and technologies, and the emergence of a culturally-specific response to the representational qualities of the widescreen frame.

    I'll definitely try to go to this festival this year. If anyone is interested and is unfamiliar with Switzerland, please, let me know. I'll be happy to help. Most people (at lease those involved in Tourism) in Ticino speak English, but they are more comfortable with Italian or French.

    Manga Impact, in collaboration with the Cinema Museum of Torino (Italy), is a program incorporated within the next International Film Festival of Locarno (Swizterland), which will propose a retrospective of Japanese animation since its early inception in the 1940's. It will cover a wide range of genres and types, from the most commercial productions to auteurs' works. If you've never been to the Locarno festival, I highly recommend it. But you have to make your reservation asap, because Ticino, the Swiss-Italian region where Locarno lies, is small and doesn't have so many hotels or accomodation opportunities. And they'll be all very quickly taken as this event is reknown worldwide. The Festival will take place 5-15 August 2009.

  • Unfortunately the Korean anime industry has neither the funds nor the demand to compete with the Japanese industry on any large scale.
