Download anime, drama, ost for free - Chau Thanh . INFO

We all like animes, that's the main reason we're here. With the advent of the Internet however, most of us watch high-quality free animes provided by great fansubbers and direct download sites such as this one. Heck, we don't even need to buy 'pirated' animes anymore. But as we all know, watching free anime obviously don't help the anime industry (a recent study suggest animators in Japan have relatively measly salary). An understandable reason for this situation is that it often take too long for the official release to come out in certain areas and even when it does, might not be available in those areas or it's simply too expensive (for example in my area, on average, an original anime DVD will cost 40-50% more than a Hollywood movie DVD).

So here are the questions, have you bought any original anime DVDs? If not, will you buy one in the future? And lastly, which anime(s) you would like to own an original copy of?

If I can only go to Japan,then I will buy lots a lots of anime DVD's. I cannot say the title coz there are so many of 'em.
Also I don't have credit cards to donate some .

I bought a few anime DVDs like Trigun when i was young. Bugged my parents to bought it haha. But it isn't cheap in my country. I guess i gotta start earning money first before i would go for original anime DVDs.

To tell the truth I have never bought anything original. I know it helps the companies which produce and so on but there is no need for me to do so. The internet provides me with everything other than some blu-ray rips.

Another reason why I don't buy the originals is that I don't have much money as a highschool student. A lot of the time all this merchandise costs lots money, if I were to buy all this I would have to give up on something else.

Yeah. Guess the only way out is just to download for now But this site is like one of the best for DLs!

i want to buy plastic models too~ for collection~ hehe~

if i will buy an original one its gonna be Gundam 00~ i wish i can find one ^_^

I have a few PVC's but mostly from games like Final Fantasy. DVD's would be better though.

dont buy CDs
u just dl anime

i'm not the hardcore fans who waste my money on anime dvds.
years ago i have many collections of one piece movies and other anime, all of them are movies
but bcoz of my stupid little brother, i lost all of them
thats why i cant waste my money anymore.
about supporting the industry, dont worry
the anime industry will keep going.why?
because of crunchyroll

yeah~ i already burned them to DVD~ in the future i might sell them

Wow. You must have a whole lot of those DVDs then LilSatan. I burned a few series to watch on my HDTV as well

i have 350+ anime dvd titles~ hehe

I've only got about 10 series on DVD but they are proper studio ones.
Today I got Love Hina from my local Library and Burned the 6 discs for the whole season.

Wow that's sick how do you even keep them? You have a cabinet filled with Anime DVDs?

No,I buy a DVD bag then I'll place it there for safekeeping.

The shroud of the darkside has fallen... Bleak indeed the future is... Zetsuboushita!!!

Hmm... I bought a School Rumble S1 Steel Can Box Edition set last X-mas but I can't play it in my player cos' of the region restrictions, the rest are all downloads XD

In my mind it is the internet is there for a reason, for us to leech.

The blu-ray price in my country was too expensive and downloaded anime quality is sufficient enough.

It is not to imply that all should buy original animations because as we all know, a lot of animes just simply suck and not worth sh*t, but for that very few that one really really like and is going to re-watch multiple times, isn't it justifiable to own a legal copy of it, I mean if one can afford it and is able to find it?

I don't know about other peoples, but animes that I actually like so much as to be willing to re-watch multiple times are not that many and I do buy them when my budget allowed and the price reasonable (during sales for example). So far I've in my collection around 40 original DVDs and my future targets would include:

-Mushishi
-The Sky Crawlers
-Evangelion 2.0 You can (not) advance.
-Lupin III Episode 0: First Contact

My brain still tells me not to buy as I'll just re watch on computer.
