Internet Piracy Boosts Anime Sales, Study Concludes

A prestigious economics think-tank of the Japanese Government has published a study which concludes that online piracy of anime shows actually increases sales of DVDs. The conclusion stands in sharp contrast with the entertainment industry’s claims that ‘illicit’ downloading is leading to billions of dollars in losses worldwide. It also puts the increased anti-piracy efforts of the anime industry in doubt.

Update: Highschool DxD

 

I picked Highschool DxD to watch this weekend and i enjoyed more than my expectations, at first i thought it would be very similar to Rosario Vampire animation, which was an animation only for fan service and therefore ruining the story-line , but the world created and the story behind it actually follows correctly and interested me, excluding obviously the many nude-ecchi scenes.

Anyway,i will start writing from the first episode, but Highschool DxD is already in the 10th episode (which released today) in the second season.

Episode 17 of Saint Seiya Omega this weekend

  I know that i haven't done a review about episode 16,but i don't think it's necessary,it was very weak.They had some fights,but nothing really important to write about.Now,This weekend will release episode 17 and will probably Kiki from the classic saga will appear.

I will post RAW and subbed as soon as it releases.

Saint Seiya Omega: episode 16 released

  The newest episode of SSO has been released,but there is only the RAW version.It's a high quality video file,with 2.7 GB, where you can download it here (torrent).

If Deadfish releases his subbed version,i will edit.

Update: This one is taking a lot of time to come by.There is a fansubber called X which is the only SSO 16 subbed episode at the moment,but don't know if it's good.You can download it here (torrent).

I don't have good expectations on this episode from the SSs that i've seen,but I will watch anyway...

Saint Seiya Omega: new rumors about the tournament (spoilers)

  Now that i finally have some time to post,i bring new rumors and plot information that i've seen in forums and other sites.Before i enlist it,i will briefly review the last episode which i didn't have time to write before because of my college tests.The last episode was kind of mediocre in overall,with a few good moments.I really liked the sound and animation effects when Souma broke the ice with his element power,it's something to be praised.In the end of the episode,it was shown a new saint who its personality and power reminds of Fenix Ikki: Orion Eden.Could be the strongest of all bronze saints that we have seen so far?Aside from that,i have nothing more to comment about the episode.
   Continue to read if you don't mind spoilers about the next episode,it's a few, but new rumors that i have seen.

Lost Canvas: important announcement coming next week

  There will be an important announcement next week about Lost Canvas,that is what the magazine Weekly Shonen Champion said about their next edition,without giving further details or information.The animation was stopped due to its supposed low sales,but the animation studio TMS didn't confirm and left question in blank.I hope that they continue and keep the same quality of the first two seasons,it would be horrible see the animation with the quality of Omega series.  

UPDATE: Sadly,is the announcement that Lost Canvas Gaiden,which tells the story of  gold saints before the Lost Canvas itself,is going to be delayed,and therefore the manga will be releasing in each month instead each week.Nothing about animation.
