Keanu Reeves: Live-Action Cowboy Bebop is in Rewriting
This is looking better than I originally feared -the original creators seem firmly involved. Not that that means it couldn't still become another case of "Hollywood does anime with white people", but it's definitely heartening.
Globalizing Shoujo Manga: the acceptance of Tezuka Osamu and his Princess knight in North America
Down the Slippery Slope - The Crime of Viewing Manga
-
Given all the qualifying facts in the Whorley case, one might ask, why should anyone care? Setting aside questions of fundamental justice for the moment, the answer is: because cartoons and drawings aren't child pornography and should not be treated as such under the law.
OEL manga: That Old “Authentic” Debate
-
As someone who was in the trenches at the start of this trend, as an editor, and later as a writer, I’d like to say once and for all that OEL was most certainly not coined by Tokyopop. Tokyopop just called all of its works “manga.” The company’s line was/is not to have a distinction in classification between books created in Japan, Korea, Europe or the Americas. “OEL” was first coined, if I remember correctly, by the folks on the Anime on DVD manga forums, as many folks didn’t like (and still don’t like) Tokyopop’s blanket usage of the term.
Industry Group Head Says Anime is a Bubble that Burst
JETRO cites unauthorized net distribution, including fan-subtitled videos on streaming and file-sharing sites, as one reason for the decline in DVD sales.
What deserves to be called 'OEL manga'?
-
The real subtext of Hoffman’s comment seems to be authenticity — OEL manga fails because it isn’t created and published in Japan.
Yet authenticity is a more elusive concept than most of us are willing to admit. Most of us call something “authentic” when we think it exemplifies cultural traits that are inaccessible to outsiders.
Is The World Ready For Warner Bros' American Death Note?
-
Death Note has been phenomenally successful in its native country, spawning anime, three live action movies, a video game and a prose novel. It has also - somewhat unsurprisingly, given its amoral nature - inspired some copycat crimes, including one Belgian murder where the killer claimed to Death Note's fictional killer, Kira. It'll be interesting to see what, if any, steps Warners will take to avoid similar controversy from this more mainstream movie version.
