The Giants of Anime are Coming

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the reading-about-stuff-to-see dept.

Wired is running a story about the Giants of Anime which discusses numerous things happening on the anime front, including the new Ghost in the Shell movie, and the upcoming Miyazaki release "Howl's Moving Castle". This is something of a background piece for people somewhat unfamiliar, but it also covers a lot of interesting bits that the fans might enjoy as well.

      Lie all you want. That's all the Rethugs have. That's all they're good at.

    I am not an anime fan, so I won't even comment on that aspect, but on the referenced page there was a link to an interesting interview with TAFKA Prince. Here's the most interesting part:

    What sort of marketing tactics are you using for Musicology and the current tour?
    We introduced the concept of purchasing a brand-new CD with the concert ticket. That's all that really matters anyway: getting the music 2 the people. By any means necessary.

    Does that include P2P file-sharing?
    File-sharing seems 2 occur most when people want more QUALITY over quantity. One good tune on a 20-song CD is a rip. The corporations that created this situation will get the fate they deserve. 4 better or 4 worse, 4 every action there is a reaction. An MP3 is merely a tool. There is nothing 2 fear.

    Pardon my off-topicness.

    I've had "Anime" checked off in the "Block stories from homepage" for ages... but this showed up.

    Anyone else seeing that?
