| What happens? You get to see an anime, and you don't pay any money. |
 |
| Don't do it. No, seriously. You don't want to face the consequences. |
 |
| 95% of everything I read and watch is pirated. Not just manga and anime either. Literally, nothing happens. You just need a good VPN. |
| You'll be publicly executed by the federal government and the last thing you'll see is the splitting image of your favorite waifu shaming you for your crimes. Either that, or you'll just end watching an pirated anime without much consequence, idk. |
_-_Sally_-_ said: What happens? You get to see an anime, and you don't pay any money. Exactly. It's nice to buy a manga physically here and there for example. But some people me included just don't have the damn money to watch and read everything they want to "legit". Plus there are like a million streaming services. And if you want to watch everything, especially on Netflix you need a VPN anyway, so it's still more expensive. And then say there's a manga you want to read but there are like 25+ volumes and all of them cost 10-20 Bucks. It's not sustainable. And do people expect us to buy blu rays? They are bastard expensive and take up space. Went on a tangent. But piracy is literally the superior way to watch/ read/ consume any content. |
| Nothing happens... Nothing happens at all...It please a lot of people to see certain billionaire corporate businesses and polititians lose tax money... |
 |
| Nothing. No one cares about the random person pirating content. It's an almost 0 chance you'll get into any trouble for pirating if you are just receiving it. |

| You just watched an anime without spending money. a couple of redirects and popups and hot moms near your area but you can get used to it they aren't harmful at all. I have been pirating ever since 2018 nothing bad ever happened |
| Jesus won't love you anymore. But to be fair, he probably stopped the moment you started watching anime. |
| Now this man refused to watch anime legally with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. |
| you become knowledgeable, you get to see anime as streamers have never seen. you'll understand the true form of anime, free of leech corporations and political agenda. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
The police will knock down your door and arrest you for being a weeb. |
| it becomes possible to you to watch more anime :D because paying for anime is so fucking expensive + in some countries you don't have lots of titles licensed manga is also too expensive. all volumes of Demon Slayer cost like my whole month salary on my first job and you'd have to wait for years for them all to be released. well, the next thing isn't about Demon Slayer since it's so popular but manga publishers sometimes drop titles if they're not so money-bringing and if you were a fan it's so frustrating to know you'll never be able to know what happens next. |

| you will be on your government's watch list |
if something happened i would already be in prison xD |
Well he never came to my house to begin with.. #sed life :( |
| Haven't found a good anime dialogue to copy yet!! |
| Depends on whether you get caught or not. Nothing, if you don't. If you do, depends on if you streamed it or torrented it. Stream = relatively(!) safe, the uploader is the main one in trouble. Torrent = since that's an upload and not just a download, you are the one sharing copyrighted material that you don't own. The exact punishment for that depends on your national laws, but is usually a pretty hefty fine even for small amounts (several thousand dollar/euro) though with a good lawyer you can reduce it some. Source: I know several people who got caught before. As long as you can pay, you generally don't have to worry about having to go to prison :) |

I don't have the money to buy all the diamond-studded outfits I want to wear either, doesn't make it okay to break into a store and steal them, now does it? It's mind-boggling to me how people act so self-righteous about stealing, just because it's intellectual property and not something physical. You want something that you can't afford, so you resort to stealing, that's all it is. And it's not like food or shelter, stuff where people tend to be lenient about theft since it's NEEDED to survive. Just because you WANT something you can't afford doesn't make it fair game to just take it. Don't get me wrong, I understand why you (and many others) are doing it, but this nonchalant attitude is shameful. |
| "It's mind-boggling to me how people act so self-righteous about stealing. I understand why you (and many others) are doing it, but this nonchalant attitude is shameful" My mind is blown. I don't know what to say. Idfk how the copyright laws are in your country but they sound harsh. |
| What happens...? Absolutely nothing...?... |
 |
| Okay, so what happens is the FBI gets onto you and finds your location. This then gets chained up to the President who then shares this information to every world leader. You are now a wanted man, and get put as the Public Enemy No.1 in most countries. They then get the squad who found Bin Laden into play. Once you hear they're in, it's gonna be difficult. My advice is that you want to move from house to house, forging fake identities every time you move, which should be once a week. Never use public WiFis, don't put your name down anywhere and be sure to change entire country at least once a month. I'd reccommend obscure places like The Solomon Islands as your best bet. Now, it's risky, but if you're up to the challenge, I'll be cheering for you every step of the way. Good luck, soldier. |

| Idk, why not ask on your actual account? Chances are, you see the exact same translations that appeared on legal sites (complete with the same imaginary "agenda"), and with worse video quality if you watch on a bootleg streaming site, since those sites re-encode the 1:1 downloaded rips from legal sites. You successfully get your entertainment (and the translations of them) subsidized by other people's money, as long as not too many other people decide to adopt the same "why should I pay for what I can get for free?" philosophy. I'm not morally condemning those acts, but it is mystifying to me why anime pirates are so hellbent on sabotaging the global anime industry by trying to convince paying consumers to become pirates -- kinda killing the goose that lays the golden eggs there. |
| Nothing? No one is going to arrest if you're watching it illegally, the only people who should be afraid are those who share this illegally and earn money from it (according to polish law). Maybe in other countries there's a larger negative feedback but for the little amount of "legal" anime here, there is no other ways than watching anime illegal x) |

There are no streaming services except for Netflix available that have anime, and our Netflix catalog for anime is shit. So I literally HAVE to pirate especially anime. I can understand the argument with manga. Because it's available to buy in English online. But even then what if the manga isn't even available IN english? |
| Uhhhhh, well there can be quite some serious consequences... |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| Absolutely sweet old nothing, been doing it for years and I've never been caught or received any warning from anyone. |
| It allows people to save money for anime merchandise. |
 |
| The police comes banging on your front door. |
 |
| Nothing. There are way too many people who watch anime illegally that it's just basically impossible to be stopped. |
| nothing, nothing at all, at most it'll be just a bunch of trained government corporals there to tell u to stop being annoying |
| DISHONOUR!!! DISHONOUR ON YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!! DISHONOUR ON YOU, DISHONOUR ON YOUR COW!!!! |
      |
| You get a microchip implanted into your brain. When you die, the microchip will transfer your consciousness to a special kind of hell where you're forced to watch your most hated anime until the end of time. There is no escape. |
 |
| if you watch legally, you are supporting the continuation of borusheet if you watch non legal, you are trying to be on good side with kim jung umm |
KMAS02 said: Just watched Summertime render fansubs and the video quality was so shitty, this is what happens when you rip directly from a tv broadcast, most fansubs that don't come from blu-rays tend to have lower quality then those found on legal streaming sites, it was the same thing with Komi. _-_Sally_-_ said: What happens?

| You cannot flex your mangas,dvds,subs etc in your otaku group chat, other than that nothing happens |
| The Copyright Police take custody of you, then you are executed without trial. |
 |
| Nothing really apart from maybe no Santa that year like another guy mentioned. Also, sometimes, fansubs happen to be better than the official translations like with Komi-San so you would be benefitting yourself in that case. |
 |
| Unless you live in Japan you will likely not have a gov that cares about you watching anime via a bootleg way. |
 |
| Nothing, but make sure to recommend the anime/manga to someone who could actually afford it if you like it. |
