Never ever bought an anime,always downloaded them or wathced em on tv, why waste money when u can watch it for free.


Because if nobody buys them they will stop being made. It isn't made for free and requires profitable sales for the companies involved to continue operating. That's simple economics.

And it's not a 'waste' of money of you're investing in something you enjoy, especially when you receive material goods that will last through hundreds of uses and can be shared with friends and family etc (as opposed to say, alcohol, tobacco or other drugs people waste their money on for entertainment.)

I think it was Sailor Moon.
It was the first 6 episodes of the dub. I still have it but I don't watch it now since I have the subbed version which isn't mutilated.

remember not long after I got the DVD, it was Christmas and my parents bought me the Yu Yu Hakusho dub (eps 1-4), the Ah! My Godess movie and Vampire Princess Miyu (eps 1-3)
I also got the first 4 Cardcaptors videos. I also don't watch anymore for the same reason as Sailor Moon.

One time I remember having to choose between Excel Saga and Azumanga Daioh. I could only afford 1. So I went with Excel saga ^^;

I think my first was Heat Guy J~ a three pack DVD.
Too bad~ I think I knew about Cowboy Bebop at the time, but never watched it. I would've much rather bought Bebop first. Heat Guy J is a close to average series~ if it were now, I wouldn't have bought it. Of course, it could have also been Spirited Away, but I don't remember which came first

Ninja scroll dubbed version on VHS at sun coast video store in a shopping mall. I bought the dubbed because I do not like doing a juggling act with eyes with trying to read the dialog while watching the action, so my friends can watch it with me while getting stoned and because at the time subs were ten dollars more than dubs, basically I was getting a bargin while the sub fanatics were getting ripped off.
