UnFunimation and the like have always annoyed me with their premium markups so I usually just get it from JPN stores when I buy.

What?

Funimation is REALLY cheap.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Funimation even has the SAVE line of uber-cheap anime [like $20-$30 for 26 episode series that are only a few years old].

im ok with fansubs only future
As am I.

@Beb Fansubs are usually in HD+ resolutions so the quality is there. I kinda hate dubs anyway so this is not affecting me in the least. I have media devices capable of playing euro and jpn content so nothing is lost for me. Jizz media and UnFunimation and the like have always annoyed me with their premium markups so I usually just get it from JPN stores when I buy.

I'm not talking about fansubs! 

I support fansubs ;)  Hell, I used to sub stuff myself.  I'm saying people pirate because they have to, in order to get high quality versions of the shows.  At least when BDs are released in the states it gives a legal method to do the same thing and support the creators.  When BDs stop coming over, you're left with the best quality option being the bootlegs, which is a sucky outcome.

I still get my anime from japan, always did. I really dont think people who are into anime are any more likely to buy from the US than they are from JPN. If you want it, you get it. Dubs isnt really a big draw card for anime fans apart from like a tiny subsection of the fanbase.

I used to do scanlations so I got exposed to what you fansubbers do and I have mad respect for you guys <3

I dunno if you're super casual if you're concerned with subtle meanings. ;) that said only the more self aware shows require that level of detail (ie Genshinken, Azumanga, Excel Saga)

I think there are a number of good dubs out there, but I also think that any hard preference for subs elevates a person beyond The Casual Anime Fan

Lord Illpulatso!!!!!

There is some element of truth to what you say MAF. Outside of anime message boards and anime communities the more casual watchers would likely go for a dub. The thing is though anime/manga outside of japan doesnt have a large casual following like video games. I feel the majority of buyers are exposed to anime information in the form of friends/boards/communities in some form or another.

Excel Saga is kinda bad outside of a few episodes.

I remember loving the series when I had the first dvd, so when I got the rest of the series, outside of the baseball episode, I was disappointed to find I didn't really like any of the other episodes nearly as much as the first five, which are golden.

Ergo Proxy is terrible.  I don't know a single person whose ever said it was good.  I bailed out after like 2-3 eps.  You're not in a minority on that one.

I can handle a little bit of animu. For example I really enjoyed watching the first run FMA and they throw in silly anime shit on that, but then shit gets real when it came to the actual plotline.

Planetes has some silly from time to time, but not nearly as much as FMA. I think you'll really enjoy it.

I got my K-On! BDs since they're going OOP.  I didn't realize they were like 3eps each.  It had been a while since I bought vol.1/2 and for some reason I thought vol.1/2 = S1, vol.3/4 = S2 and thus the entire show was brought over.  But nope, I just realized I paid like $120 for one 14ep season.  In comparison I also get Darker than Black 13ep S2 + Entire 4ep OAV for...$26.

Conclusion = fuck Bandai USA.  Good riddance. 

I don't even understand K-On! pricing.  Star Driver is 13eps per volume for $40-50.  They are both TV anime.  SD pricing is not cheap, but it's reasonable in light of anime being higher price.  K-On! is straight up Japanese pricing gouging.  At least Gundam Unicorn is an OAV.

Why would you do a thing like that  :-\

I'm more concerned that the 2nd season of K-on is never going to come over now.  Here I thought it already had!  Dammit, I hate owning incomplete shows.  Not that the 2nd season is worth owning outside the last 4-5 eps, but the multiple endings were nice.
