Most of these examples are western productions that ordered the animation from japan. And yes, europe did that. That is comparable to that todays Anime often are animated oin Korea these days - they are still japanese productions. Anime usually refers to stuff produced for the japanese market. I'm not sure that the examples you shown there even aired in Japan, they weren't localized as their production language was one or another european language. |
Can you do some research instead fabricating things? With the Excaption of Vikkie the Viking, Alfred Quack and Captain future which was licened by Harmony Gold everything else was soley made by Japanese studios without any western involvement. Sure maybe they produced these Animes also with exporting in mind but this is nothing special like with Japanese content creators now, like Nintendo.

You do realise that it's possible to get ROMs legally, right? It's legal in many countries to extract the ROM of a game and store it on your computer - as long as you own the game itself, and don't distribute the ROM, you're fine. It's not up to the fan translator to control whether the patch is applied to a ROM legally acquired, or illegally pirated. Making a patch doesn't require permission, if the patch is free and doesn't contain infringing content. Word translation isn't really infringing, any more than it would be infringing for someone to read out the words of a game to a friend. |
Actually the only true 100% legal thing is if you would play the original carts on an Retron console or playing the original discs on the PC. Even if you own it you are not allowed to download another illegally uploaded file, only if you burn your own Disc games on your hardrive it would be fair use.
But it doesnt matter whats legal and what isnt, we all know the majority downloads because they dont have the original games.
