Frozenkex said: Would I still breathe if there was no air? Technically yes. |
| No because I'm poor. |
 |
| I really don't know, as I'm unavailable to buy from anime stores since well, there isn't any in my country. Though I'd find a way, idk. Not actively, that's for sure |
| I prefer legal steams anyway and I'm an anime collector so yeah, nothing much would change. |

| I'll pay for my CR account if that happens |
Shuhan said: No I would stop, Im not willing to spend 60+ dollars for a single anime. Nor will I ever subscribe to a streaming website. |
 |
| im willing 2 pay and buy from Rightstuf if that will happen |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| id probably watch all the anime i could for free on hulu, and i already pay for netflix so i'd finish watching the good anime on there. but past that, i doubt i'd watch much anime. |

Shuhan said: No I would stop, Im not willing to spend 60+ dollars for a single anime. Nor will I ever subscribe to a streaming website. 3 years later.... I would still watch anime, Im willing to buy/import most anime now. |
 |
| Damn, very good question. My answer would be yes, I would sub to crunchyroll or whatever. Anime is my hobby and I love it. Lots of people pay to enjoy their own hobbies so the same applies to anime for me :) |
 |
| Once you grow up and get a job, it won't be that hard. Crunchyroll isn't particularly expensive. Also, if you look at the right sites, DVDs can often be very cheap. With Code Geass R2, I would have spend almost a hundred on it. However, after finding one obscure site, I found it for like 30 bucks. Nowadays that's an easy feat. However, I ordered this a long time ago, and I could only find super expensive links at that time http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/271579031752?lpid=82&chn=ps Look at this shit. It's hilarious This mutherfucker wants $575 for Code Geass, both seasons. Seriously, they look nice, but still... $575 dollars? |
 |
| I've never checked out Crunchyroll so I don't know how big their library is, but assuming it's nearly, or just as big as those on illegal sites (and it doesn't just have the popular stuff), I wouldn't mind paying for a subscription if worse comes to worse. If not, I'd probably just drop anime all together, since the DVD prices for a lot of anime is just ridiculous. |
 |
| Probably not. I might pay for something like Crunchyroll depending on the price or a subscription + the amount of content (If every illegal source was wiped out, my guess would be a very sharp increase in subscription fees to sites like crunchyroll). However would I pay for anime / manga? I have already spent quite a bit, will I spend more? Absolutely not. One volume of a manga is about the same as a best selling novel. It is a simple question of "Is this value really acceptable?", and the simple answer is not even close. |
 |
| As the saying goes "If there's a will there's a way". I'm too much of an anime addict to give it up that easy. |
| I belong to the stars. Reach for the sky. |
| Totally. I've still got Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu. Those'll get me pretty far. |
| Crunchyroll isn't available in my country and buying DVDs is out of question, might stop watching for good. |
NessieFynn said: Totally. I've still got Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu. Those'll get me pretty far. Ditto - and two of them cost nothing and the other is a shared family account. So, nothing would change. I don't watch much if any pirated stuff. |
| I probably wouldn't watch as much as I do, but I buy box sets, so I'd still watch a bit. |
| Yes. I pay for Crumchyroll as it is, the only time don't use it is for anime they don't have. |
 |
| I purchase all my Anime on DVD, but when it comes to stuff that isn't licensed, I torrent the fansubbed stuff. If I couldn't get fansubs for unlicensed Anime, things would really suck, as I would be somewhat limited to what I could watch. |
 |
| I would probably stop watching anime. Videogames would be a way cheaper hobby, especially thanks to Steam sales. I don't really want to drop a ton of money on DVDs or whatever and hope I'll actually like the anime. I've looked for Black★Rock Shooter DVDs, and the prices are outrageous, considering it's only an 8 episode series. The only reason I'd consider buying it now is because I've already watched it for free (and became one of my favourites) and I'd like to support the producers. I also remember seeing a DVD set of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in a store, which I really wanted to buy since it's one of my favourite anime (thanks to the free torrented version), but then changed my mind after the seeing the ridiculous high price tag on it. Maybe if the prices on anime weren't so high I'd consider buying more of it. |
| I'm already subbed to crunchyroll anyways xD This would change nothing. |
| :D |
| I have a CR subscription so I wouldn't be too screwed, but I'm not willing to pay for the Funimation stream service so I'd be screwed there. |
 |
| if every illegal source of anime was shut down Stopped reading there |
| :3 |
| they aint gonna stop me |
 |
| Oh. Probably not, I don't and can't pay.. I'd face trauma on the first week without anime. |

Ambient_ said: I wonder what the responses would be. This would mean making compromises in budget, and actively trying find legal vendors of your target anime. Sources include: Crunchyroll, Hulu and Netflix for americans, amazon, local legal shops, etc. I personally shudder at the thought, given that I have no substantial source of income. But I reckon I'd get by with my Crunchyroll subscription and just try to import any highly recommended anime that wasn't in CR whenever I can. me too.. of course I would still be watching animes but my choices would be very limited and I don't think I can watch it as much.. it's like going to the doctor and finding out I have cancer lol |
| The Bird of Hermes is my name Eat my wings to keep me tame |
| Only if a reasonable streaming service was available, which right now it is not in my country. Maybe very few anime that I know are super good I would buy on DVD/Blu Ray. |
| Doesn't matter. When that happen it'll start raining waifus and husbandos, portals for wish fulfillment worlds would be open, and everyone will be a rich af. Who cares about anime. |
| I guess I'd watch all the episodes of the Big 3 on CrunchyRoll. xD |
| Nah I wouldn't. There are probably lots of things I'd do more or even actively if they were free. |
 |
| I would pay for Crunchyroll or Netflix. |
| I have enough backlog to last me a while. But no, I would never pay to stream, but I would pay to download. |
 |
| Lol probably not. Or maybe I would get a crunchyroll subscription. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| There aren'T any good Services outside of the US, so no. |
| Ofc i'll still watch them, but maybe i'll just watch several anime that really interest me. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
Pirating_Ninja said: Was definitely thinking about that. If they lose their competition I think everything will have a sharp rise in price. It's no longer "how about you support the industry by watching anime for free on crunchyroll instead of pirating anime which has no ads and better quality, we're even giving away free trials" to " Well we're all that you got, 50 bucks a month, take it or leave it."my guess would be a very sharp increase in subscription fees to sites like crunchyroll). |
