Akko

Woah thats a lot of money lost however some people cant afford it and thats just kissanime loads of other streaming sites

cr suks

Yoko

Ye we rly need to stop being such scavengers and steaming anime on "illegal" sites.
I'm scared to think that the anime industry could possibly lose its motive to make good anime if they make no money :dontwanna:

And then they try to wishy wash you with "Support the creators".

Its alot like the "War on Drugs", the companies spend way too much money on fighting piracy rather than effectively distributing anime so they dont have to go use piracy sites

Make anime great again.

Those are some huge amounts. I pay for Crunchyroll and will pay for Funimation (sorry if I spelled it wrong) to support the people who create the anime. Sadly DVDs here cost too much, and I can't afford them for £50... so I can only pay for subscriptions.

Akko

Same dvds are over priced, £45 for 12 epps normally unless i find cheap online and ship, why pay £45 for 12 epps when i watch over 20 a day

Creators get less than a penny every time you watch an episode, its the broadcasting/publishing companies that are hungry for your money.

I buy DvDs if they reasonably pay and support the author

Yoko

If they was cheaper I would defo I have over 300 dvds coz I love collecting films however when its so much for only few hours of time, if they was a decent price id most likly always buy them

That's right too, we need to stop watching on streaming or download them by torrent
Cause it's not gonna help creators and we may loose alot of anime quality overs theres years.

That's really bad when you see how much time and work creators put on ther anime.

I can only half agree there are anime that don't have license to be here... I won't not watch an anime just because a company cannot license it here and see all others talk about it.
If the anime is licensed here sure.

Eli Ayase

Yea, I can agree with the argument. People who argue that 'piracy does nothing' or even 'helps the anime industry' honestly have no clue how money works and are likely talking off a very biased point of view that is their own.

but i mean
oh well

I buy dakimakura's... does that count?

Momo

Crunchyroll does absolutely nothing except line their own pockets so you really shouldn't pay for it if that's your motivation, and if all you want is the fast currently airing subs just use HS(Its the same thing). Do what ever you want but I just download shows and if I really like them I buy the Blu-Rays and see the movies if they come out here. Other than that buying DVD sets on ebay doesn't help the industry and CR sure as fuck doesn't either.

I'd love to support the studios, and people who make anime. Truly would, and I have purchased Blu-rays. I have purchased manga before. However, so long as the price is exorbitantly high, I will not be able to pay for the anime I watch.

Now, I could purchase crunchyroll, but it doesn't have everything I enjoy, or want to watch. On top of that I'm unemployed, so I can't exactly afford to pay the monthly subscription. Unfortunate really.

But, prices like these will always stop me in my tracks. I can't realistically purchase this.
