I have no idea what this anime is about other than it appears to take place in a cyberpunk world and the main character seems to do parkour for… reasons. But it’s from the creator of Cowboy Bebop (Shinichiro Watanabe) and I guess they got the director of the John Wick movies (Chad Stahleski) to choreograph the action sequences. So it’ll probably be good.
I can’t find any info about when it’ll actually release, but sometime in 2025.
“Properly support”? What timeline are you in that the actual creators of your favorite art are getting their fair share of the profits, exactly? Short of tracking down each creative contributor to find the most efficient way to give them money directly, there is always a group carving up your “support” before (if) it gets to those integral artists.
tl;dr: “support” comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some of them resemble a skull on a black field. You are what you choose to be. You choose.
Oh I forgot how many artists are working as slaves. Wait, they aren’t, they’re being paid, wonder where that money comes from?
Like fuckin hell dude, you can just admit you don’t want to pay for something, but to stretch “artists don’t earn a fair share” into “your support is meaningless” just because you’d rather not pay is a real bad take.
Your logical fallacy is showing, friendo. Jog on, then.
Which is? All I’m saying is you sound pretentious trying to pretend your piracy is anything other than a means for you to save money. Nothing wrong with doing that, just don’t pretend that at least some fraction does indeed get back to artists when you pay for a product because they do indeed get paid (who the fuck would support stolen art of course they’re fucking paying for it) for their hard work, often far less than they deserve. Honestly there’s a pretty good moral argument to be made for piracy that it’s more worthwhile to deny a corporation it’s profit while still enjoying the art, but it takes an acknowledgment that some degree of that revenue was going to feed back to the artist as some form of payment. The smaller that artists share is in the profits of their art, the more worthwhile the sacrifice of supporting them that way becomes.
