Comments on: Outsourcing: A disturbing report on Japan`s Anime Industry! http://www.cartoonleap.com/2009/01/06/outsourcing-a-disturbing-report-on-japans-anime-industry/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=outsourcing-a-disturbing-report-on-japans-anime-industry A little blog dedicated to anime and manga. A place where readers can read the latest in anime and also there are some manga online, including my personal one, The Swordcerers Wed, 08 Sep 2010 01:38:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Andy http://www.cartoonleap.com/2009/01/06/outsourcing-a-disturbing-report-on-japans-anime-industry/comment-page-1/#comment-1271 Andy Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:08:06 +0000 http://www.cartoonleap.com/?p=1819#comment-1271 Hmm. Very intreresting report you have there. Seems the more you look at it, the more you realise that these changing economic times really has made such impact on countries whose talented skills and resources that were so great in demand overseas which made them as 'powerhouse', now no longer able to withold that status once was. Japan's doing exactly the same things as what USA is doing when they've imported more than 80% of goods and services from China/India, and "Made in USA" labels are an utter rarity. Thanks to the attractive appeal of oursourcing, for many modern (and surviving) businesses. It would be interesting to know how voice acting would join the crowd of outsourcing, knowing it won't be Nihongo? Hmm. Very intreresting report you have there.

Guy Delisle has written a couple of good graphic novels that describe his activities as a supervisor of French animation projects in Guangdong China & Pyongyang North Korea (evidently he also did serious time in Mauritius but hasn't yet written a comic about it) You should check them out - they're pretty good. What I'd love to see is a new crop of studios in Korea, Indonesia, Cambodia, Mauritius, wherever, picking up on the industry talent overflow and starting their own homegrown narratives - something for me to watch and love in 2019!

Anime has been showing a disturbing tendency toward the cliched recently, maybe a greater variety of people with different backgrounds and cultures will give it the kickstart it needs (or maybe they'll be even more prone to copy what other, Japanese, anime creators have done in the past).

While it's a shame that there will be less and less animation actually being produced by Japanese people, I don't think anime will loose too much of its essence as long as 1) its target audience is still Japanese people and 2) the original story, artwork, and character concepts are created by Japanese people even if most of the actual animation is produced in other countries.
