Paying for anime, yes, it's almost unheard of :eyeroll:. I buy shows that I enjoy, even if I've downloaded it. Why? Because even if only a small piece of that money I dropped for it gets back to the original studio, I feel good about it. And as for manga and paying for it, I still hold the highest dollar amount when compared with my friends, and one of them works where we buy most of our manga. That dollar amount? 2,000 +.

I heard that most of the money goes to the American distributors, plus a small percentage of royalties for the Japanese publishers and animators. Actually, I don't even know if the animators get anything if their stuff is bought from America.

That's what licensing fees and royalty checks are for.

i buy all of the anime i download that doesn't suck... which is why i download it, because i've bought too much shitty anime, and half the time, it isn't even aviable in the US.

As far as my first buy, it was only after i watched it on HBO, and it's still my most uber anime of choice, Ninja Scroll the movie


i recommend it

and yeah, elfen lied kicked much ass.
i thought i was going to be disappointed, but it help solid through out all 13 episodes

and was the ichi anime any good?
i LOVE the manga, but the movie was only semi ok, had i seen it before reading the manga, i might have thought differently.

you'll find out why the FF box set was so cheap

you get what you pay for.
but on the subject, i just watched Advent Children:XII the other day.

it was pretty bad ass, and done even more to the game's depth then i thought it was going to...

and ask for ichi.
of course it isn't for kids.
the guys fucking kills people then cries and procedes to jerk off on their dead bodies, what kind of sick fuck would show that to kids?

^ don;t know...

Advent children was good... suprised you didn't jump on that one WAY back sep 12th, when it was leaked, 2 days before the japan release date "simotanous release e3o5 japan/ america my ass!"

Torrent that shit to hell and back!

Seen maybe 2 episodes of FF series anime, was alright... just a steal i guess.

My next FOR SURE buy

Elfen Leid 2/3/4
Vampire hunter D
Metoroporisu (2001) "old, seen it to death, have started a colection, and would be delighted to add that one to it... special edition or whatever.


Maybe, need the feedback.

Berserk Box set, one of two. http://tinyurl.com/hagpk http://tinyurl.com/eemdp
^ Only differance is the box or what?

Chrono Crusade box set
Doomed Megalopolis
A steal in price?" http://tinyurl.com/g8sbp
Dark Water

Maybe some full metal alchemist/ panic... my 3rd order most likly.

I got more but that its for now.
