Anime Episodes Online And Cell Phones
By Judd Walker
There used to really be just one way for fans to see
anime episodes, unless they wanted to spend a lot of
money. As this form of animation became more popular,
kids, teenagers and even adults who were interested
were at the mercy of TV broadcasters who aired series
mostly geared to children.
However, buying Japanese animation for the VCR and
later on DVD did become possible. But that required
some commitment, and did no good for the merely curious
or casually interested. But finally the online option
opened up and the scope expanded.
Watching Anime Online Created Copyright Issues
As video streaming technology became big on the internet
through the 2000s, the best-loved episodes of an anime
series became much easier to see. Many series were placed
online, and people not only could watch streaming anime
but could download it to their computers as well.
Of course, this immediately created copyright issues,
because most people who put episodes online did it without
the permission of the licensed holders; the big distribution
companies. And those who downloaded episodes were not
paying for them.
Compromise With Video Portals To Watch Free Anime
The first impulse of distribution companies was to
sue everybody who placed unlicensed anime episodes online.
This still continues to some extent, but most companies
realized quickly it would become very expensive, and
bring bad publicity to attack their own fans on that
scale.
Instead, they chose ways of working with fans rather
than against them, and created video portals where people
could watch their favorite anime for free, and download
and own higher quality videos for a fee.
Anime Episodes On Other Websites
Those who simply never had the money to fork over to
the corporations were not shut out, but the companies’
real target, people with cash, were reached more easily.
It was a win-win situation for everyone.
However, the advantages of new streaming technologies
didn’t end there. Many distributors created partnerships
to post anime episodes on other video websites, like
www.hulu.com.
Anime On Cell Phones
Such sites often have a social networking component;
members can watch anime online, share favorites with
each other, add comments, and so on. They can also download
episodes to cell phones.
The technology that allowed online streaming has resulted
in countless new ways that people can now watch anime.
They can view single episodes when and where they want,
as often as they choose.

More Anime Facts....
Are there books that are converted over to manga or
anime?
Yes, there are books that have
been converted into manga or anime. Sherrilyn Kenyon
is a New York Best Times author that is now converting
many of her characters and story lines into manga.
Fans of her work now get the
chance to see their characters in cartoon form. The
one thing to remember about manga comics is that it
is read differently than traditional comics. Traditional
comics and graphic novels are read from left to right
beginning at the first page of the book.
Manga, on the other hand, starts
at the back of the book and reads from right to left.
It can be confusing at first but once you get the hang
of it, it becomes much easier.
