As technology increases, what will happen to the big names in the anime and manga industry?
With increased illustrators and animation softwares becoming available to the public, free alternatives to photoshop, AI's that can color mangas in easily, and now even voice faking to erase the need for overpaid voice actors, what is the industry going to look like when average joes can start making their own creations with modern technology on par with big name studios and artists?

lol

Voice acting is not just reciting some words
Bentley Walker
>AI's that can color mangas in easily Haha no. Call me when it doesn't look absolute dogshit

Japs can barely operate a pc if it doesn't have a smartphone feedback into it. I can't draw or have the patience to draw key frames either.
Kevin Diaz
Right, but now people with shitty voices but speaking talents can do it.
>As technology increases Very first line.
Julian Lee
>He didn't know Most Yakuza faded to background. It's not 90s anymore.

I'm more interested in the English repercussions of kicking those SJW studios like Funimation to the curb by fan dubbing shit.

Wait are you agreeing with the person you tagged or disagreeing?

thanks I;m posting this in /cybsec/ on /g/

They're faded to doing work from the shadow. They're still here and still relevant. Just not as much as flashy nowadays.

>Right, but now people with shitty voices but speaking talents can do it. You're assuming that they're two completely independent features of the sound which is not necessarily true, "good" acting might stop being good if the voice is changed
Christopher James
>giving a shit about dubs of funi
Oliver Ward
NP. I post on /wdg/ there.

won't you get fucked if you deepfake some popular actor and use it in your work?
Luke Walker
Keep your tinfoil hat sci-fi technology what-if garbage where it belongs.
Jack Clark
About as fucked as if you illegally subtitle anime and manga and host it without their permission. Oh wait, that already happens.
I'm referring to OP's "erase the need for overpaid voice actors"
Noah Allen
Yeah, hijacking someone's voice isn't near as questionable as hijacking an entire anime to rehost and subtitle cutting out the company's profits.
Gabriel Price
user OP implies that studios would use deepfake for their anime not random people who don't give a shit
David Moore
>coloring manga

Technology is gay

They still need talent, and the industry can take up a lot of that. Pixiv, Comiket and Vtubers already show lots of popularity can be gained outside of the industry but I doubt it'll ever replace it. As for that voice thing I assume the effort to get it to "act" would be pretty hard considering the current applications are just mimicking normal speech. Getting an AI to work out what emotion to convey or how to do comedic timing doesn't seem like it'll be an easy task.
This reminds me of the guy from /mlp/ who was training an AI with the voices of different characters of MLP so it could create completely new sentences. I wonder what happened to that guy.
Michael Harris
I hope he succeeds. PurpleSmart will be easy, main character, lots of dialogue, and you can supplement it with other Tara Strong roles like Princess Clara. The rest of the main cast shouldn't be much trouble either after 9 seasons. But I want Celestia's voice reading me weird smut.
Isaiah Brown
it's going to be amazing. Eg. shinsekai yori was a financial flop, but decrease the cost of making anime 10x and many like that are going to appear. As costs go down the appeal of niche markets goes up. I want more anime like shinsekai yori and less harem isekai, which makes me a tiny minority
