    Always wondered why Naruto is legally available on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and even UA-cam. But each with a different number of episodes. Guess viz sub licensed different amounts.

      this always annoyed me, along with the fact netflix has both naruto sub and dub, but for the longest time it was incomplete- has almost all of the movies including the shippuden ones, but excluding The Last, and the shippuden series itself for some reason - and Hulu has all of naruto and naruto shippuden, but not all of the dub for shippuden - they had to be high when they licensed the series, and there’s probably more weird inconsistencies on other services

    Two corrections:
    Viz used to be owned exclusively by Shogakukan, but in the early 2000s, they switched to being owned by a holding company that includes Shogakukan and Shueisha. They are not (or at least weren't when I kept track) exclusively owned by Shueisha.
    Also the streaming services will own the license for streaming, but they don't necessarily sub-license to the ones who make the hard media (BD/DVD/etc) versions of the show. A company that makes hard media can license directly from the Japanese production committee. The only question is will they license the translation from the streaming company or just have it retranslated?

    Just adding more information for Asia region licensing:
    Licensing in Asia (outside Japan and Middle East) are usually bought by single company that doesn't even have streaming service, like IMMG, Ani-One, Aniplus, or Muse Communication.
    They often sublicensing their IP to several streaming service, that's why a single anime often available for five different streaming services.
    English Asia release often to be the most close 1:1 translation, while local languages (like Indonesian, Chinese, or Thai) might have slighly have more freedom in their translation to match local culture.
    English Asia being 1:1 translation is because there's no way to cater to single cultural reference, as area served can have thousands of cultures, ethnics, religions, and contradicting rule of laws. So they play safe and release things without censorship at all.
    Company like Muse Communication and Ani-One even have UA-cam channel to streaming anime either for free to paid-subscription only, which not every committee production doesn't always want to have certain anime to be streamed on UA-cam.
    There are unique case where Muse Asia license Tokyo Revengers and the committee production demands the swastika to be censored. Muse Asia argue that swastika has neutral (or even positive) meaning in SEA, Taiwan, and South Asia, so the censorship is not needed.
    Shogakukan have Shogakukan Asia (based in Singapore) which license their own title (and some other publisher) in English for English Asia release.

    So if a production committee allocates a budget to a studio, and that anime rakes in massive profits, do the studio get a part of the profits to pay their animators further or is all the money that animators are paid only from the decided budget initially?

    • @Channel45
      @Channel45  11 місяців тому +1

      In most cases, the animators and studio wouldn't get paid further because they were contracted, and are paid from the decided budget. That is unless the studio was on the committee, in which case they would be entitled to a share of the profits, depending on how much they invested. Of course every case is different, but this is how it works most of the time.

    Really well made video. Definitely on the way to having your channel tickle the algorithms fancy. As someone that's not a UA-camr my main tips would be to change your channel name/branding and speak with a more stimulated fast past tone. For an anime audience, sounding slightly deranged and ironic is a good thing. But if you are just interested in making 10/10 based video that actually touches on some of the nuances of a topic... Stay the way you are 💪👍
