Pirating is catching up to us! Anonymous
So pretty much everyone here Pirates hentai movies and the like right? Maybe we should start paying..our beloved Pixy-Soft is on the verge of going out of business due to pirates!

Quote from the article about this:

"He describes how Pixy was established with the goal of setting a revolutionary low price point for the OVAs it produced while retaining a high standard of quality, to make legitimate purchase of the product an option for all consumers. As a result profit margins on each sale became razor thin, but for Pixy’s first year of operation they were selling well enough that it seemed they could squeak by. Now, however, according to Murakami Pixy titles are being so widely pirated that their low-cost sales model is proving untenable. He makes the claim that if the current status quo continues, not only Pixy but adult anime as a whole may cease production within the year."

Rest of the story here.

they wont run ot of business because of people from outside japan, because they don't even import their stuff, if they did the price WE would have to pay would be really high, and so they would be stealing from us.

So basically, economy is "Who can steal more money". So japan is their only market, internet joes like us dont need to care about downloading it.

Maybe so, but at the looks of it, I guess Japan is pirating a majority of it too. In the article, they give a link to english DL site, I guess they think we can help in someway?

Within the year? Thats a pretty bold claim. Thats almost as dumb as the guy who said we should close the patent office because everything has already been invented. Who gives people like this airtime?

According to the article:

>Eroanime production company Anime Antenna employee Murakami Kouichi (????: producer - Mahou Shoujo Ai, The Guts!, Taimanin Asagi, other Pixy titles) made a post on the official Ani-An company blog on May 6th relating the news that Lilith Soft affiliate brand Pixy is in danger of financial collapse within the year, and that other major brands may soon follow.

its a business strategy, do not fall for it anons, they know we want more pixy stuff, and so theyre gonna hold it hostage for a while, like nintendo with Zelda: Twilight, they kept saying for 2 years that the game was gonna come in 2005 for Game cube, and 2 years later it came out since nintendo was having trouble with their shitty console.

honestly though, is it all that much to ask that those of you who can afford to buy one or two of their dvd's buy it? You'll have a shiny case for it, and they'll be able to make more... it doesnt matter if they are going out of business right now or night.. the fact is you should buy some if you enjoy it.

omg this thread made me lol. first of all, why should i buy a pron dvd which is censored and not even subbed in english? secondly, i don't buy any forms of dvds or cds because their production costs just a few cents and still you don't have any rights for replacements in most countries.

I think they should stop making low quality fap-only material.
Ero-anime should have STORY! Big, interesting, engaging - make something like Mnemosyne!

Ya story like the american porn industry. Such titles as The Devinci Load. Or the one with the hanburger meat
>> Ehhh.....
Honestly, I'm not sure I would mind if Pixy went out of business. While I fully support the purchase of high quality porn, I've never been greatly impressed by any H-OVA; honestly, I'd prefer it if the probably significant money going into H-anime (the great majority of which is crap-ass) were to go into producing ero-games—especially in the case of a company like Pixy, which is, I believe, owned by a very good H-game producer—LilithSoft.

Yeah, because, you know, hiring artists and contracting animators is free. And heaven forbid that anybody make money for their creative property.

>secondly, i don't buy any forms of dvds or cds because their production costs just a few cents and still you don't have any rights for replacements in most countries.
Oh wow, you're a real credit to the movement. "I can't get free stuff for losing and stepping on my media so I won't buy it!"

Pity about Pixy, but I'm not a huge fan of their stuff and the H-anime market has never been terribly large. The practice of spitting out release after release with a grand total of six frames of animation doesn't help things, either.

Maybe if we all demanded unscensored to pixy's email we'd get it? What's their address?

Agreed
Fuck what the trolls say, porn should have a storyline
That's what makes erotic parodies of films so funny
>> Ehhh.....
>>906848
No, you wouldn't. There are certain laws in Japan.

906830 here. that's not the point. i bought quite a bunch of discs which were already broken (before i could use them). considering the piss poor politics of companies when it comes to replacements, it's no wonder no one buys overpriced dvds anymore.

no, not all porn - ANIME should have a good storyline, as it is relatively expensive.
Making a profit on porn is incredibly hard as you basically have an unlimited competition of free low-quality material, so you need to provide something different from all others. Hell, all you need to join the adult industry is a cheap photocamera (200$) and an agreeable girlfriend. If you're a girl, you can skip the latter part.

AND you have a very strict upper price limit - less than 100$, as it should be cheaper than a visit to a hooker.

$100 for a hooker? Does she have AIDS or something?

Hookers are a lot cheaper in places where prostitution is legal (e.G. Europe).

But still, i usually spend more than a 100US$ for a hooker - in the end, i want something better than i could just pick of the street :)
