История с письмом одного из сотрудников студии Production I.G. в котором этот сотрудник (под именем Ghost writer) просит воздержаться от просмотра фансабов и поддержать аниме покупкой ДВД получила свое продолжение.
I have received 7 messages from people who have read my last post concerning fansubbing...I would like to thank you all very much for the interest in the topic and taking the time to write to me.
I realized once again how hot this topic is. I would like to emphathize again, that personally I am not against fansubbing. Since copying techniques are so wide spread and broadband internet connections easily enable downloading of large amounts of data, it is quite unrealistic to try to abolish fansubbings. Also, I do agree that in some cases, seeing fansubbed anime might act as a promotion to DVD sales. I also understand that the fans simply cannot wait until the US DVDs are released and want to have a «try» before risking to buy late and expensive DVDs. I would feel the same way probably, if I were abroad.
I just wanted the fans to keep in mind that anime creators make their living out of creating anime. I have seen more than 500 creators working really hard over 2 years trying to make this series. I just wished fans would buy at least some volumes of official DVDs after their trial. Creators do not get a bonus reward for extra DVD sales, but without DVD sales, the series would be considered a failure and it becomes difficult to collect enough money to make the next project. Creators and production studios are evaluated through the amount of DVD sales.
Justin was kind enough to make a new section for me. It might be easier for you to write your opinions there from next time. Thank you once again to 7 people for your enthusiastic messages.
P.S. The official Japanese DVDs of GITS SAC are sold by Bandai Visual (Released from 21st Dec 2002; 2 episodes a month from then on. You can order them online. Also, extra bonus visual would be a little different from the US versions) The official US DVDs are sold by Bandai Entertainment Inc. (The release date is not yet fixed. ) //Источник: [url=http://www.productionig.com/forums/index.php?s=035dba8f23cdc8a9745a9556daea931c&act=SF&f=34]оригинал сообщения[/url]
