Your previous post seemed to be bitching more about fansubs than people who see it as superior than local DVD releases.
Do I resort to fansubs? Hmmm well I download fansubs to check on the latest series and try to enjoy it. If I like it a lot and it gets licensed then I go out and buy the series, like I did with Midori no Hibi, FMP Fumoffu and Tsukihime. If I don't like it then it gets deleted (FMP Second Raid and Bleach is an example). Most of the other animes that I bought were from renting it, seeing it on a sampler disc or borrowing it from my anime club.
For the ones that never gets licensed...at least I don't resort to the huge amount of bootlegs available in those anime stores. I never said everyone buys the original Japanese DVD releases (or me as well since you asked) nor were they committed to it. It's the same thing with those anime mp3's you get people to send you. You don't see many people who download animes buy the original Japanese cd releases (nor do you right?). That is unless you go to an anime convention where you could at least look to see if they have the cd you want.
What I was saying was that you should've just got that (or at least a raw) if you couldn't stand the translation and annoyance those side notes were giving. You said the fansubs were fine but it seemed like you were complaining about it moreso than those sub-only fans and trying to bring it down.

Well you are getting One Piece uncut for free. No one forced you to resort to this (well maybe 4kids XD). The fansubbers are providing you the version you want to see but it looked like you were still complaining about it, if it didn't have subtitles I doubt the episode will be easy to understand.
lynk Wrote:for the most part they're doing a good job translating and all but there's just way too many inconsistancies in their work.
What looks like an inconsistancy to you may not be to others, after all it's done to LOTS of other fansubs as well and I haven't seen many complain about it.
lynk Wrote:So darky, I know that you've downloaded a lot of animes that haven't been released outside of Japan... have you BOUGHT the Japanese DVD release of all of those animes?
I remember only 2 and that doesn't look a lot does it? Sailor Stars series which I chose to delete a long time ago due to it taking up a lot of hd space and I was beginning to lose interest in it.
The other is Mizuiro OVA 2003 (2 eps only) which is a remake of the original Mizuiro hentai where the 2003 version completely removed that element to a story about childhood friends and promises. So far when I search up for the DVD of the 2003 version, the hentai original always come up. If I do find it on YJA then yes I probably will be buying it.
What I just wanted to say was that if you can't stand the subs, don't bother downloading it. To be honest, I kinda felt you really hated fansubs but meh I guess it's probably a misreading of your post.

We did. I just found it ironic from your post that appeared to be bitching about fansubs yet you were downloading it.
