| I buy the anime i really like. Your stupid not to support the industry in some way be it buying a couple blurays, buying figurines or subbing to crunchy roll/funimation. The core market is in japan, everything else is just gravy to them. At the very least A crunchyroll account/funimation account are only like 5 dollars a month, if you can't afford that you should really reevaluate your life. |

kuuderu said: GodAndTheBear said: This whole rejection of physical media you see in kids today is weird. I don't like everything being based on whether my internet connection is working at the moment. Internet is pretty much in center of social interactions nowadays. People spend a lot of time on it so no wonder they use it at full. ikr, it's nearly laughable when people say the internet is irrelevant. it's very much the complete opposite. |

| I've got a few thoughts.... #1 people who "support the industry" do so because they genuinely care. To some this is a big hobby and they also like to collect....almost everyone has hobbies and collects things. As a sports fan I collect various sports memorabilia along with my favorite teams merchandise.....to some people that's seen as dumb or a "waste" of money. But that's what I'm into....same for anime fans that want to buy their anime. #2 I do find irony in people who ridicule those that DO support their anime hobby but then these same people bitch about why their favorite anime isn't getting a sequel or why they only got 12 episodes, etc. #3 Ultimately, what people do with their money is their business, I try not to question their decisions, unless there is some serious adverse effect on how they are spending their money. |
| Depends on what you are paying for. For example, let's take Crunchyroll. You are an American, so if you pay for CR, you get dozens upon dozens on anime to watch. If you pay for CR, you are making a wise purchase. I am a Romanian. I am region locked out of about 70% of CR. If I'm paying for CR, I am stupid. If you are paying for Funimation or Daisuki, with their HORRID encoding, then you are stupid, period. That being said, I don't pay for anime because I can get it for free. |

And at least, the anime industry will dieI don't see what the problem is  #knugen4prez #successbreedsjealousy #försverigeitiden |

| Warning:?what I post is my opinion and theory. I'm not responsible if people take what I type as fact. Nothing is free, some one eventually has to pay. I'm guessing the price of DVDs or blurays depends on what company and or business is producing and selling the DVDs and blurays. Plus the content, quality, quantity , condition, shipping of the product, etc are possible factors for the price of a product . Who knows one might be paying for the gas the delivery vehicle uses to deliver the product one is buying. How would one know for sure why the price of the product varies from business to business or company to company . If u buy a pair of pants at target for $50 those same pair of pants could be $120 at Macys. Samething happens with DVDs. |
