| A lot of responses on here make me sad. I would definitely keep on watching. |
| Well i try to buy DvDs now so maybe, i use those sites to find shows that i enjoy enough to buy though. |
 |
| Most of the anime i watch is DVD or Blu Ray anyway, so yes i would. |
| Yes, because there are still plenty of free legal alternatives. Watching a TV show with commercials or ad supported streams is still free enough for me. |
 |
| What do you mean by actively? Following on-going shows? I don't. I don't even watch anime every day. It wouldn't be a problem until I go look for an older series that hasn't been made legally available outside of Japan yet. I'm likely to miss out on some stuff but I wouldn't stop watching. |
 |
| if i was forced to pay for it, i would problely buy gintama and GTO and rewatch them from time to time, wouldent want to waiste money on new anime since there is so much i dont like, and would not want to try my luck for 30$ for the first 4 ep of each show i wanted to try out. |
| . |
| i would probably get a subscription to crunchyroll or netflix, maybe. 1 thing i would do though is buy a lot of manga, i get near enough the same enjoyment from manga as i do anime anyway :) crunchy roll kind of lacks a lot of things though, but hey :) netflix i have no clue about but ive heard that is pretty good, think its because im in the UK there are less licensed ones here :) |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| If everything illegal would be shut down i would get myself an crunchyroll subscription (or maybe just keep using the free version). |
 |
| I gues I would pay for streaming. |
 |
| Personally, I would drop Anime in a heartbeat and take up reading more seriously. |
 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur. |
| Considering I watched anime before it was put illegally online, or before I was able to access it online, I would still watch. I don't keep my DVD copies around for nothing. |
 |
| Yes, but I'll only pay for the legal streaming sties, not the boxed releases. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| It depends if I had the kind of funding required to meet my anime needs. |
 |
| Delete this thread. I don't even want to think about what I'd do if this actually happened. I love free stuff. |
| Hell yes, I would sub to some streaming site and buy my fav anime...most likely buy them anyway when I'm no longer a student to support the creators |
| I'd happily pay to watch the currently airing animu, if I was given a way to download and directly support the show. Until then I'll continue buying goods, to support the stuff I like. As for OP's question, I'd probably just play a shit load more VN's than I already do. |
| Then i would save up enough money to watch some from time to time |
| I would probably subscribe to Crunchyroll, and then only buy the DVDs of my absolute favorites. Although I wouldn't watch nearly as much as I do now. Lets all hope this never happens.... |
| I'd still watch, but not nearly as much because I have no legal way of watching most of what I want unless I import it directly from Japan. I can't afford that, nor can I afford buying stuff released here. I'd only watch things on Netflix and Hulu, and I could probably afford a Crunchyroll subscription. |
| Yeah, I'd probably pay for a CrunchyRoll subscription then. |
| Well I kind of knew where things were going with legality, so Years ago I bought a two year subscription to megaupload. Anything new I buy, but anything pre2011 I've got. |
| Yes. I would buy Blu-Rays for animes such as Gintama (animes I really like). I wouldn't buy a DVD for a 12 episode anime. And I watch a lot of anime on Crunchyroll, so thats cool. |
| probably not. I will ofc still get one piece one way or another since I been following it and getting the manga for 12 years now. but if I have to pay for any other manga/anime, i will just stick with w/e reality show is on hulu/tv and basketball/football/baseball |
| hi |
| I'd just continue on what Hulu, Crunchyroll, Crackle, and the FUNimation and Bandai Entertainment channels of Youtube offer for free. For Fairy Tail... I'd find a way. By then, there'd probably be support clubs for people who needed guest passes to watch certain anime on Crunchyroll, so I'd try that out. |
 |
| nope because anime would probably be dead in the west if it wasn't for piracy. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| I don't think so. I don't believe I would be able to afford it. I would probably just go back to watch tv anime... |
| yes |
| To be honest I don't really have the funds to afford all the anime that I watch if I watched it legally. maybe only 5 or 6 anime a year like I do with video games with now... I would be extremely selective in concern to what I purchase and I would rely MUCH more on reviews to help me decide what to get and would probably have a hell lot more free time lol |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| Yes, I would watch new shows on crunchyroll as they aired. I doubt I would watch many older shows however. |
 |
| No. I'll find other things to do. |
| Yes, I would. Simple as that. |
Anime figure reviews: |
| Yeah I would; a monthly subscription to Crunchyroll is not that much money. |
| Id get a Crunchyroll sub if something i wanted to watch was only for premium members, and i think id stop reading manga cause it probably costs a fortune to get it where i live for one volume |
Ghostt said: Id get a Crunchyroll sub if something i wanted to watch was only for premium members, and i think id stop reading manga cause it probably costs a fortune to get it where i live for one volume You're from Canada, I bet manga there is still 100x cheaper than in Poland =P |
| No. |
| Will you still actively watch anime if every illegal source of anime was shut down? Yes, no problem. There's still TV. It's where I started anyway and I still watch anime on TV. I'm iffy about some dubs though. Really ear cancer inducing voices sometimes. |
| Yes. Just a lot less of it most likely. Probably just get a Crunchyroll sub and buy one series a year. |
| I have to believe that when things are bad I can change them |
| Maybe not as active as now, as I can only import BD, maybe I will putting all the anime recommendation in a list per year, perhaps only 20-something title I can get for a year. :( |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Yes I would still actively watch anime if every illegal source was shut down.There is the free version of hulu, pawn shops, used video stores and websites, cartoon network, and there are stores like Big Lots that will sell anime and some of the big chain store occasionally put stuff on clearance of sale. |
| I'd personally go to Japan learn Japanese and watch anime on the TV. If anything else is needed maybe I'll pay for a subscription or whatnot. Anime must be free for us D: hopefully stays that way |
 |
| If that happens I'll just start paying for subscription or something. |
| I'd stop after I'm done with what I already have on disk. Unless they release K-on S3... |
