Oh no
> "Not all manga must be from Japan." Major manga publisher Kadokawa seeks new manga artists overseas due to a labor shortage.
Paying decent wages? No. Let's hire a bunch of indians.

He is, of course, a globohomo puppet.

I wonder why that is - couldn’t be because their own mangaka are working from dawn to nightfall and are generally burnt out and fall sick easily as a result, right? I wonder why that prospect doesn’t sound appealing to the modern artist. What a mystery.

>>281364154
What he actually means is cheaper labor.
There's more kids, and adults, looking to work on manga in Japan than the industry can support

Bollywood Manga.
/it's all Jeets all the time

This 'shortage' excuse is the same playbook used in Western countries for the last 15 years. They ignore qualified locals & only hire foreigners
They want to coopt Manga as a crutch to sell you nonManga stuff
Manga is Japanese & I'll only consume Manga made by Japanese creators.

Hopefully from China. China already makes better Anime games and some Animes from Bilibili look really good

Retard thread.
If anyone was paying attention to Kadokawa's output, this was inevitable.
They've basically gone from about 20 anime a year in the late 2010s to 50+ anime a year. That was their stated goal around 2022, to produce at least 50 anime annually.
Part of that is their production pipeline. Kadokawa's primary focus is an anime pipeline that goes like this:
>WN (free amateur work)
>LN (picked up by the publisher who owns the WN site)
>Manga (picked up by the publisher who owns the LN label)
>Anime (picked up for adaptation with the prior publisher acting as producer)
And guess what- Kadokawa OWNS all steps of that production.
They want to produce a lot of anime to capitalize on what they view as a continually growing industry despite anime very clearly reaching a bubble bursting moment by the end of the decade. They've squeezed their talent so hard that they want to dip into international pools for their manga adaptations. That's all.

>>281364239
I wouldn't say no to a decent wuxia or xianxia manga.

>>281364127 (OP)
Of course they would say this!
50% of Kadokawa's entire profit comes from LNs which are abhorrent and dying
And 10% of their company is owned by Tencent

Kadokawa is easily the worst in the entire anime industry

As expected of the folks who made the biggest catastrophe in anime history

Blame foreigners for telling japanese about how they could scam people just by making one image a month without effort instead of following their ideals and compeeting against others.
Patreon is a shitty kinda jewish system but some saw it as the piggy bank and they don't have to worry, and they can make a manga according to fans because patreon allows it (but some are too retarded here that think mangaka are beings superior to them so they shouldn't be bothered on twitter, facebook or patreon or youtube when the authors don't even mind).

"Labor shortage"? Bullshit. One look at typical mangaka's daily schedule tells you everything you need to know. You're either lucky and make it big early with your first series or write/draw shitty gigs for years, living like a feudal peasant.

>>281364506
The anime industry can't really support more shows. Minutes of animation per season is down from the peak. In part because Kadokawa and other IP owners pay the starving studios jack shit on a contract basis.

And you're missing one crucial thing about what Kadokawa is doing, by buying anime studios or simply contracting other studios for their 55+ (last time I checked) anime a year they prevent other IP owners from commissioning more anime. That is they prevent other people from trying to do what they're doing, every studio making a Kadakowa owned IP glorified advertisement is a studio that isn't working on someone else's.

>>281366359
>Bullshit
Have you not seen Japan’s dire birthrate?

>>281366619
>muh birthrates

Everyone was told Japan was overpopulated (and still is) for decades. Hell for the last 50 years. But now it's a bad thing that their population is shrinking. I thought that was the idea? Well apparently not since you have to prop up all the senior geezers that will live to be a hundred sucking up money.
How about letting things play out a bit before importing five billion browns.

>>281364127 (OP)
"amid labor shortage" is code for "no one will work for our poverty wages anymore."

The only problem here is that the few japanese successful hits will be used to fund a bunch of failed titles made overseas. It'll be an extra money drain, but instead of the usual gambling with decent odds, it will be only to justify foreigner corruption (which is what wokeshit is).

>>281364822

>>281367371
>Getting rid of pedophilic and incestuous content counts as “agenda pushing”
What agenda? Promoting normalcy? If anything you can argue the opposite, that pushes these things on the public is promoting the agenda of sexual degeneracy.

>>281364506
>Manga (picked up by the publisher who owns the LN label)
That's not always true, they cooperate with other publishers. For example Kadokawa publishes manga for Micro Magazine LN or Akita Shoten publishes manga for Kadokawa LN. Might even be circular deals between the big labels.

So the publisher just treats mangakan as wage slaves instead of artists? They should know being a mangakan is like a trade, jobs that requires unique skills and complex thinking, not some cheap easy labour in a construction site. If this is how the publishers treats mangakan then I hope they die in a car fire for treating everyone like a slave.avmmmt

>every studio making a Kadakowa owned IP glorified advertisement is a studio that isn't working on someone else's.
Thats the prospective but not the reality
Passione for example. They are doing Nukitashi for Kadokawa but also Mato Slave S2 for Pony Canon. They also did stuff for corpos besides Kadokawa prior this year.
The anime industry is yet to reach the level of predatory market the west has anontachi.

>>281367484
Bro, why are you trying to force the loli topic in a thread about animation studios receiving corruption money? Do you have mental issues or are you just retarded?

Keit-Ai the manga when?

>>281367690
There is the editor, assistants, printing staff, and more beside the author behind the chapter of a manga.
It was never a romanticized artistic output and more like a collective work of multiple business entities.
Without these entities the manga industry would not exist.

I want people to remember that Y2K caused all this. No, it was not a nothingburger like that retarded "historian" youtuber insists. To fix an entirely avoidable bug caused by corporate greed to save a few cents, an entire nation's workforce was upskilled and then all of the task outsourced for a few cents. Y2K and its consequences changed the trajectory of labor in a way that makes the Industrial Revolution look like a fucking joke.

Without Y2K, corporations don't have a precedence that they can follow like a fucking step-by-step blueprint when they wanna outsource something at a large scale. Hell, without Y2K it could even be argued that China only gets to stay as the cheap shit sweatshop because there wouldn't be any playbook in terms of upskilling foreign labor pool for the explicit purpose of outsourcing skilled work.

Just watch shueisha and kodansha stuff which are independent from kadokawa. Kadokawa didn't touch JJK, Demon slayer and Frieren at all. While Snoy and aniplex is traitor which spread Korean censorship standard to Japanese anime.

>Segawa notes that, as Japan faces declining birth rates and an aging population, it will become increasingly difficult to create works aimed at younger audiences from a commercial perspective. However, he states that there is a potential for such works to succeed in areas with greater populations of young people, such as countries in Southeast Asia. This is why, he says, “The starting point for the works of upcoming manga artists doesn’t necessarily have to be in Japan.”

Year 2000 problem.
In COBOL, numbers are stored decimally so you'd have a range from 00 to 99 for PIC 99. In the 60s and 70s this was used to store years to save space instead of a more costly PIC 9999.
Then these programs were kept running for far longer than the original programmers were active and suddenly people realized that the year 2000 and beyond would no longer be correctly handled, leading to a rush to get new COBOL developers and update all the existing software.

Wuxia is BASED
However modern chinks can't do decent wuxia anymore. They only know how to keep adapting the same few Jin Yong novels and each adaptation seem to keep getting worse. The most recent Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils movie starring Donny Yen (Sakra) was shit, they didn't even bother to do the fights properly.

This anon want another kyoani incident...

>>281370687
Yes. Everything that dares to pollute my interests should die, preferably in complete agony. KyoAni shouldn't have suffered that fate.

>>281370687
Unlike with the kyoani thing, this one would actually be deserved. Really, rather than another kyonai incident, it's more we need a Luigi of anime.

im surprised a lot of these businesses still exist when the internet has made it increasingly clear you can just work for yourself if you're creative and lucky.
realistically you could just publish your stuff online and lock it behind a paywall which a lot of artists do, unless you're insistant on some japanese company absolutely raping you with enslavement for physical publishing.

>>281366607
>And you're missing one crucial thing about what Kadokawa is doing, by buying anime studios or simply contracting other studios for their 55+ (last time I checked) anime a year they prevent other IP owners from commissioning more anime.
i remember that garnt on trash taste talking about this.
he said it was actually insanely difficult to organise animation for just his 30 minute OVA because every independent studio he contacted was contracted for work up to 2 years out by major production companies.

>>281364191
You jest but some anime musicals would be pretty dope.

>I love people who cant read Japanese enough to tell if an author is even a foreigner
Most of them don't spell out where they are from or where they live. And even if it's written on their Pixiv or SNS accounts you don't necessarily bother to check.
The rest is very true though.

anyone who has been around for a while has seen the steady decline of anime since 2010s

How is this bad?

>>281371583
whether you enjoy it or not it's a clear sign that the industry has shifted its attitude from

to
>generic safe unoffenive content that normieniggers can enjoy
highschool themes used to be the main gatekeeper of normieniggers because they find it "icky"

Lurk more you fucking tourist nigger.

>>281371884
Ecchi was gaijin influense. Japanese respect women so there is no more ecchi shit.

>>281371884
you've unintentionally outed yourself as someone who doesn't actually watch much anime

>>281364239
not really, their strict censorship ruins their shows

something like Gundam Wing, DBZ, Chainsaw Man, One Piece, or Code Geass because their protags successfully rebel against their government. And that is a big no-no in China

>>281371443
lol
>ecchi and fanservice almost completely dead
In this season alone, I count three highly sexualized anime, including one that is just borderline pornography, Nukitashi, and that's anime explicitly about ecchi, not anime with ecchi moments within them.
inb4 some shit about how three in a season is nothing like LE GOOD OLD DAYS (retard shit spewed by people who don't know anything).
>highschool themes almost completely gone
Of the three ecchi anime, TWO are set in a high school.
Ignoring that though, around ten anime this season are set in a high school.
>animation quality all time low
I don't really get this shit when you newfags tend to bounce between "muh overanimation" and "not enough animation", but there are several sakugafests this season and no real QUALITY moments to speak of.
For TV anime there is the returning Dandadan, Takopii, the ongoing Yaiba, and CITY among many others, those are just the big four ones off the top of my head.
Really, reading your post it sounds more like you're describing a season from a decade ago. Constant QUALITYfests and isekai. Bringing up how isekai is everything really outs this post as being written by someone who doesn't watch a whole lot of anime, because isekai is not that big anymore. Of the anime airing this season, there are six isekai, two of them being sequels and at least one being an outright comedy anime.
For isekai anime that already aired? Only 10, and a good chunk of them aren't even what people typically define as isekai, shit like Zenshuu or Reijou Tensei.

>>281372110
>not anime with ecchi moments within them
are you blind to not see the pattern here? it used to be the case that almost all anime had highschool/ecchi elements embedded into them
now we have reached a point where two distinct types have formed
>extremely ecchi borderline hentai anime
>garbage devoid of any soul/ecchi/highschool
and that garbage makes up 95% of what's airing nowadays.
ecchi/sexualization in anime is being quickly eroded and swept into obscure niches
ask yourself the last time you saw a pantyshot outside of dedicated ecchi shows.

>>281372206
>are you blind to not see the pattern here? it used to be the case that almost all anime had highschool/ecchi elements embedded into them
Uh, yeah retard, that's why I stated that I was explicitly only mentioning anime focused entirely on ecchi, which is its own genre of anime.
>now we have reached a point where two distinct types have formed
There were always distinct types retard.

You don't watch anime. It is so blatantly obvious based on your posting style and how quick you were to drop every other point that you are some /v/tard touring in to do the typical 'whine about shit you don't know anything about' crusade. You should probably kill yourself.

Perhaps it's time to move to puppets.

>as Japan faces declining birth rates and an aging population, it will become increasingly difficult to create works aimed at younger audiences from a commercial perspective.
Declining birth rates and aging population aren't a problem for you nor it is an excuse since you can, y'know, create works aimed at that older audience. Its a luxury few companies have and you are one of those few.

>>281372223
>ask yourself the last time you saw a pantyshow outside of dedidcated shows

Its amazing how japan will shit in all the culture they built upon centuries just for more money, and is crazy to think this used to be a culture where they would slice their stomach to not "dishonour" their family, they went from that to kneeling to westerners and accepting their culture getting destroyed in less than 30 years.

>Korean webtoon companies, which entered overseas markets seeing growth potential, are closing their businesses one after another due to lower-than-expected revenues. In particular, illegal distribution is analyzed to have hindered Korean webtoon companies. According to the “2024 Survey on Overseas Korean Wave Content Infringement” report by the Korea Copyright Protection Agency, 71.6% of the replicated content posted on illegal distribution sites overseas last year was webtoons. The damage caused by illegal webtoons amounts to hundreds of billions of won, with the damage in 2023 reaching 446.5 billion won. At the same time, in markets such as Europe, where print culture still dominates, Korean webtoon companies are struggling to gain traction.
>To make matters worse, the growth of the domestic webtoon market is also slowing down. According to the “2024 Webtoon Industry Survey” report by the Korea Creative Content Agency, the total sales of the domestic webtoon industry in 2023 recorded 2.189 trillion won. Although it exceeded 2 trillion won for the first time since records began, the industry is more concerned that the market will shrink from its peak in 2023, rather than being optimistic. In fact, the growth rate of the domestic webtoon market in 2023 (19.7%) has significantly decreased compared to 2021 (48.6%) and 2020 (64.7%). The number of works registered on domestic webtoon platforms as of last year also decreased by 6.7% to 18,792 from the previous year (20,141).

They fell for the "piracy is good publicity" trap. They convinced investors that there was a global market for webtoons but never managed to convert the popularity into actual sales.
Killing off Tachiyomi and partially wiping Mangadex were just final desperate attempts to stop the inevitable.

It can work for some, others are self-published in ebook stores. There is no solution that's going to fit everybody, diversity is the key.
Manga publishers are a big boon for gaining publicity and getting a baseline support. Many artists also prefer working with an editor
