[112] The cost of English localization averages US$10,000 per episode. [113] The industry has been subject to both praise and condemnation for fansubs, the addition of unlicensed and unauthorized subtitled translations of anime series or films. [114] Fansubs, which were originally distributed on VHS bootlegged cassettes in the 1980s, have been freely available and disseminated online since the 1990s. [114] Since this practice raises concerns for copyright and piracy issues, fansubbers tend to adhere to an unwritten moral code to destroy or no longer distribute an anime once an official translated or subtitled version be
comes licensed. They also try to encourage viewers to buy an official copy of the release once it comes out in English, although fansubs typically
continue to circulate through file-sharing networks. [115] Even so, the laid back regulations of the
Japanese animation industry tend to overlook these issues, allowing it to grow underground and thus increasing its popularity until there is a demand for official high-quality releases for animation companies. This has led to an increase in global popularity of Japanese animation, reaching $40 million in sales in 2004. [116] Since the 2010s, anime has become a global multibillion industry setting a sales record in 2017 of ¥2. 15 trillion ($19. 8 billion), driven largely by demand from overseas audiences. [117] In 2019, Japan's anime industry was valued at $24 billion a year with 48% of that revenue coming from overseas (which is now its largest industry sector).
