Manga, Anime Pros and Fans React to New Anti-Piracy Campaign from Japan

Hot on the heels of San Diego Comic-Con 2014, a consortium of Japanese manga publishers and anime production companies announced that they have joined forces to crack down on online piracy. Their first step: debuting a video introducing fans to Manga-Anime Guardians Project (a.k.a. MAG Project) their new anti-piracy initiative, and unveiling Manga-Anime-Here.com, a new site that aims to educate fans about the high cost of online piracy and divert manga and anime fans from illegal scanlation and torrent websites.

I’ll post more news and details about this later, but for now, here’s a round up of reactions and comments from the web and Twitter from manga and anime fans and pros alike:
