Yeah, just a heads up that it really eats up the CPU. There's no such thing as efficient CSS (or is it called HTML) animation.
I was working on updating and adding more themes a couple months ago but some real life stuff came up and I got distracted after that. I guess I should get back to it soon.

I don't understand how the japanese copyright system works. It simultenously appears as hyper retrictive when it comes to patents and modifications, same with copyrighted characters. But at the same time there's a big doujin/independent scene where people can create works out of copyrighted works. See Touhou for example. I know ZUN gave his consent to fan projects but I wonder if that's an exception rather than the rule. Some japanese laws seem draconian to me.

>but in practice are tolerated for cultural reasons
Does this stem from an old law or something? I've heard from a guy who did a research project that the reason video game tournaments in Japan used to not offer cash prizes was because they fell under the umbrella of an old anti-gambling law that was enacted in the 70's, I think, to counter crime groups.

 No.147967

>>147959
I couldn't really tell you. I was mostly thinking of e.g. the community-fostering effect that secondary works have. Also like >>147949 points out, the doujin community is often a stepping stone for artists. It would make the IP holders look terrible.

>anti-gambling law
This one's also full of loopholes (lol pachinko), but I don't want to derail the thread. Generally speaking the Japanese are masters at bullshitting their way through things using technicalities and vague wording, see also: anti-prostitution legislation.

Surely Japan has a concept of "first sale doctrine", like the United States. Otherwise libraries themselves would be illegal... No?

how do the Japanese treat fan made animations on YouTube (not counting Touhou, I already know there's a lot of those), monetized or not?

Obscenity is made-up unconstitutional nonsense that the supreme court allows because it's crooked. The original spirit of the first ammendment was very clearly "you should be able to say whatever you want and not face government persecution", and the idea of obscenity law didn't exist at all until like a century after the constitution had been ratified.

If you want things excluded from first ammendment protections, pass a new ammendment delineating those exceptions. It shouldn't be hard to get a supermajority to agree to ban things like CP.

A shared calendar each site links to would probably work. Good way to make sure things don't overlap too.

You maybe now wondering why you're seeing Di Gi Charat here being used as a figure model and pointing out descriptors. Well let me enlighten you! This is from a well respected book from famous Otaku and Otaku analysis Eiji Ōtsuka called Otaku Japan's Database Animals and here you'll the learn the meta on being an Otaku and what it means. So have a read and feel free to discuss.

https://mogami.neocities.org/files/otaku.pdf

He has also written about narrative consumption in todays age. what is narrative consumption?

Narrative consumption involves the relationship between "grand narratives" or "worldviews" and "small narratives" or "variations". The concept of worldview or world (sekai), which comes from anime production and kabuki tradition, refers to the entire world or setting of a work of fiction. Each individual story told within that universe (such as an episode or even a season of television) is a small narrative, or a variation of the worldview.

What do you think of the talk that Azuma gave years after his book was published, as a kind of postmortem?
It's on Youtube and he conducted the whole thing in English, for some reason.

 No.146708

We had a thread about this some time ago about academics, which of course derailed and crashed horribly due to Evangelion.
I haven't fully read it but I've gone through some chunks of it, and his analysis of Rei expies is very poignant:
>The emergence of Ayanami Rei did not influence many authors so much as change the rules of the moe-elements sustaining otaku culture. As a result, even those authors who were not deliberately thinking of Evangelion unconsciously began to produce characters closely resembling Rei, using newly registered moe-elements (quiet personality, blue hair, white skin, mysterious power).
>Beyond Rei, characters emerging in otaku works were not unique to individual works but were immediately broken into moe-elements and recorded by consumers, and then the elements reemerged later as material for creating new characters. Therefore, each time a popular character appeared, the moe-element database changed accordingly, and as a result, in the next season there were heated battles among the new genera tion of characters featuring new moe-elements.
A classic, and very true.

I don't really read LNs much, last ones I read years ago were Mahouka and Overlord, and Overlord hasn't had its supposed final volume in forever...

 No.144183

Caught up on urasekai picnic since a new volume came out recently and now I'm back to schuld's trpg for the third time I think. I like it a decent amount but it sure is a slow going with how hard the author likes to make the language, the volume itself is double the size of some others too.
After that I'm either gonna continue with the series or try to google something similar to urasekai picnic (never actually tried looking up similar series so idk if it'll even return much of anything), love the series.
Other than that I'm waiting on continuation for 捕食者系魔法少女 which I really liked and kagejitsu which has ground down to a halt... Author's original intention was to take it easy from the onset and he also got sidetracked by kagejitsu game at some point, hopefully the series isn't abandoned or anything like that. Might also continue the danshi kinshi yurige or whatever it's called but I can't stand drama parts in those series, everything else is really good though which is a shame.
