If you answered yes to this artigos título then please, I beg you to stop! The reason being that this is ILLEGAL in Japão but not paid attention to here in the USA! This is causing a dramatic decrease in the number of sales and no geral, global monetary compensation that Yana and all the other mangaka recieve and this in turn hurts the anime/manga industry! Here is the bottom line :
NO MONEY, NO MANGA
Dont beleive me? Here read this statement from Yana Toboso herself pulled from
animenewsnetwork.com--------->
I don't really want to preach, but lately I've been getting a lot of these messages so I'd like to say a few words. Perhaps it's because it's summer vacation?
First off...
Viewing the kuroshitsuji anime, or kuroshitsuji II on video sites other than official distribution video sites is illegal and prohibited.
(Kuroshitsuji, both the first and segundo seasons, are currently being streamed on Nico Nico Douga's Nico Nico Channel.)
leitura the mangá kuroshitsuji via publications other than Square Enix's publications within Japão (illegal downloads, CD-ROM, etc) is prohibited.
From quite some time ago, though recently they've become much mais frequent, I've been receiving fã mails and letters saying things such as:
"I borrowed a ROM from a friend and read it www" [TN: w = warai, which means to laugh, so "w" or "www" can be interpreted as "LOL"]
"I searched overseas video sites and watched all of it!"
"I became a fã of the segundo season so I watched the entire first season via an overseas video site w It was really interesting!"
This is without a doubt illegal.
It is the same as stealing or dining and dashing.
If you illegally view or illegally download, we creators and voice actors will not be able to eat and it's no joke, we will starve and die.
It is no laughing matter. [Literally: It is not "www."]
These types of letters are being sent to authors and seeing the decline in morals sends a chill down my spine.
Sending letters like this to me is the same as saying,
"I really amor Kuroshitsuji! But I want those involved in its creation to starve and die★"
It really makes me shiver. There's a to how bizarre things can get...
I'm extremely happy to hear that my work is enjoyable, but people are working hard to make to create this enjoyable work.
Is this not being precisely understood?
It's not only limited to Kuroshitsuji. animê and mangá themselves are "works" created por humans.
animê characters are not moving of their own accord simply due to our will alone.
Many people are involved in creating the story, animators draw thousands and tens of thousands of illustrations, voice actors add the voices, and only then is life given to the character.
mangá is created in the same manner. Writers wrack their brains thinking of a story and draw one panel at a alongside their assisstants.
Everyone has the right to enjoy watching and leitura animê and manga.
However, we who create them are human and cannot live without eating.
In order to eat, "money" is necessary. This is a given, right?
As a job, we create works that people can enjoy, and as compensation in order to survive, we receive payment from the money earned via things such as fees from paid videos, money from DVDs, goods, comic books, etc that people pay.
You missed an episode, or you forgot to record an episode... This happens often, right?
I understand how frustrating it is. I often have to urso it myself.
For students, especially elementary schoolers who cannot do part-time jobs, it must be difficult to purchase DVDs and BDs. I understand this very much.
However, that does not make it an excuse.
If you missed an episode, you should watch a paid video or go to a rental shop.
I think you can view an episode for 200-500 yen. For that price, you could pay por using your pocket money, or how about helping out [around the house] and receiving a reward from your parents?
It goes without saying for adults. If you're a working person, please pay.
Well, if I don't have that money, does that mean I can watch for free?
The answer to that is "No."
That action, if I may quote a certain Fullmetal somebody, goes against the Law of Equivalent Exchange!
If those actions continue, we will not be able to create animê or manga, no joke.
Because it goes against the Law of Equivalent Exchange, of course there will be a rebound.
Even if things are okay now, in the not-so-far future, the probability that it'll become something outrageous is very high.
The number of cool animê on TV being 0, for example.
In all worlds, rules exist.
In order for everyone to enjoy fun entertainment not limited to just Kuroshitsuji, please follow the rules and live an enjoyable 2D life.
Well, I've rambled a bit, but to sum it all up...
Illegal vídeos + downloads are no good, no exceptions!
But first, works broadcast on TV are free to watch so please work hard in order to not miss an episode! (laugh)
And if you felt it was enjoyable or that you want to see the continuation, DVDs, rental, official goods, CDs, anything is fine. Even just 1 thing is fine.
Please buy the related merchandise of series you're interested in.
That will have an effect on the series' future, as well as the animê and mangá industries' future.
We continue to work hard so you may enjoy our works and think "I'm glad I bought it," so please support us.
I've wrote all this, but I am not condemning video websites.
There are many wonderful cultures and works born from these websites, such as self-produced songs and performances, dances, and videos.
However, if illegal actions continue, even these enjoyable websites may become prohibited por law.
I don't want this to happen, and this is why I've written this preachy entry today.
I'm sorry it's not a fun entry!
I'll resurface again around the time the seguinte GF [TN: G Fantasy-- the magazine kuroshitsuji is serialized in] is released.
With a correction for a misprint that is...! (This wasn't a very fun discussion either.)
