[KAF] Scanlation Group Organizer Group: Root Administrator Posts: 3,940 Joined: 30 August 2004	I know I'm less and less active these days on the boards, but it's not about having stopping to watch animes, I still keep an eye on them. In fact I have the feeling I only store them now as they're more and more available show thanks to all the fansubbers around. Am I the only one who feels like there's more shows than one year ago? And more than the year before that one? The only other explanation I have for this feeling is that I've started to watch animes on a weekly basis (meaning, I don't see old complete shows, but a lot of new shows as soon as they're out). Note that I still watch old shows. ------------------- Regards, Riogi. Thanks Albert for the alternate siggie and avie ! ^_^ PS : To PrinJess, I'm still Chan-Dono! xD & The 3 triads are daa beeessstttt!! haha (don't worry I've baked up your own siggie, I simply didn't want to change too much the complicated code of my signature ;) Image Temporary Linked To Avoid Rules Violation... *********************************************************************************** This Picture Was Made By Subaru, because I'm the biggest fan on Earth from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and that my favorite caracter is Misato Katsuragi...

I Feel Sk Group: Local Resident Posts: 8,572 Joined: 14 November 2004	You're not the only one. I watch almost all the new shows that just come out. Fansubbers are great and fast. I download them, then buy DVDs afterward. Yes there are more animes out this year than last or the previous. Anime business is booming, and with that more animes are getting made. New animes such as ef - tale of memories, ef - tale of melodies and a few other made big income when they came out, thus they made a lot of kaching $$. So expect to see quite a few other new animes coming out anytime soon. w00f + m.3.3.w + Chihiro ftw.

Moogles! <3 Group: Local Resident Posts: 5,170 Joined: 20 March 2005	Anime has kind of become less underground, but not quite mainstream. It's good to have a wider selection of anime regardless of your choice of media. However, I wish that it were easier to purchase and less expensive in stores and online. I really do want to contribute to the American anime companies, but if they charge so damn much I can't afford it. I was lucky to find the Full Metal Panic: First Raid in a box set for $60. *FREAKING LUCKY!* ------------------- Thanks to IBF for the sig!

I hope it stays that way. I can't relate though. Mainly because I don't know where to look for new anime. I never know what new series to start because I don't know what's coming out. I do agree completely with fansubs being the way to go. The one show I do watch is a fansub. If anyone cares to gimme some pointers on how to stay on top of the new shows let me know please. -------------------

I was lucky to find the Full Metal Panic: First Raid in a box set for $60. *FREAKING LUCKY!* It is very cheap if you know where to look. I buy my anime online all the time. Robert's Anime Corner Store has anime which is quite cheap. All of you subbed anime downloaders might want to check this out: http://www.saveouranime.com/

Darkness - Lonliness - Hatred Group: Local Resident Posts: 594 Joined: 21 March 2008	I agree Sai. Everytime I ask if they have a book , or anime movie, they say no. They keep telling me it might take a few month...(4-9). That is, though I hardly buy at stores anymore. I just get them from a friend or cousin. It works esier for me,cause they always have the new ones that just came out, wither in stores or online. -------------------

Moogles! <3 Group: Local Resident Posts: 5,170 Joined: 20 March 2005	.... Wow. that's quite an improvement in your typing there. Nice job. I can't even get street date for the more popular series that I know everyone is waiting for. But other books I don't care about are posted with their expected release dates at the front. It's mainstream is some age ranges, but still rather overlooked for it's market potential. So we keep having to rely on subbers and the net, even when things are available and licensed. Sigh~ ------------------- Thanks to IBF for the sig!

Local stores charge almost twice as much if not more. I had an anime store nearby (now closed), I saw Noir Box Set, and it was $60(+tax). I bought it online for $40. Exact same copy. Brand new.

I think it depends on who runs the store. Recently I bought anime from a store down in Salt Lake. I could purchase almost any series in the store for about $30. I think the trick was that the store was run by a anime fan who was doing very well in his business. So it depends on if they are a fan or not. -------------------

I know for a fact that the box sets I want are available online, but my guy can't even so much as find them through his wholesaler. It sucks because he loses a lot of potential business from that. People come in all the time looking for series that are hot and he can rarely ever get them so the people end up spending their money online. ------------------- Thanks to IBF for the sig!

Yes, is not too uncommon for a Anime Store to be ran by a fan of Anime. The same would be for someone who runs a comic store. You can't have a non-comic fan running a shop. It's just not right. -------------------

Darkness - Lonliness - Hatred Group: Local Resident Posts: 594 Joined: 21 March 2008	well because when I go into an anime store to buy a movie or anime book the person behind the counter doesn't really look like an anime fan. To me it looks like a normal person that needed a job. -------------------
