Why doesn't Japan care about anime film preservation?
>>287818921only low morals idiot gaijin dohonorabru japanese samurai don't watch it if they can't buy it on bluray from official distributor
>>287818921Yeah, I wish Prince Ciscorn was finally found
>>287818921ayyy
>>287818961>CiscornThere is no r in that
>>287818921Because Buddhism teaches about the value of impermanence.
>>287818921No space
>>287818921Almost no one in the world cares about media preservation, including most media companies that might stand to profit from doing so.
>>287819313Witness the Universal vault fire a few years ago. Don't look it up if you don't want to be upset - basically every band you know from Buddy Holly to all of Chess Records had the masters up in smoke because they were tossed in an old soundstage. Lots of film elements as well. Really disgusting.
>>287818921Because it's just expendable feed. You're supposed to watch a cartoon and then move on to the next one and the next one and so on
>>287818921It's only Toei that doesn't give a fuck and lets all their films rot away without doing anything with them.
>>287819234This is a good point, but you could preserve at least those things that are valuable to a huge part of the population.It has big commercial value too.
RIP Big Xmy nigga
(~~)Why don’t you?(~~)
>>287818921because they have video files saved somewhere and when they want to rerelease it to sell it twice to you they just run an outdated AI to upscale it and call it a day
>>287819234Nah I think it is the impermanence that makes us suffer with the desire aspect only being a multiplier.
>>287818921I guess they just don't see it as something important, things should be forgotten to give a place for a new one
>>287818921Warehouses are expensive.
Many of the Japanese boom economy production studios did not think they would last more than 1 or 2 projects. And many did not.That is all there is to it, on top of the boom happening in a period where a lot of the storage would be perishable outside of its distribution period.
Depends on what you mean by preservation.Physical media will deteriorate and get lost over time, and digital media is fragile. So if you actually care about the film the best way to preserve it is to keep it digitally but transfer the digital onto physical periodically.Kinda depends on what you consider to be valuable between the literal physical object itself or the content within the object. There is certainly historical value in a film reel of the original Godzilla but in terms of preserving the art, a hard drive with every Showa film is more effective both in terms of how much it's preserving and the space it takes.
>>287821683You're proving Buddha right by saying desire is a multiplier and the fact that you can't get rid of impermanence.
