Yeah... Exactly , this is music but same principles apply .
When I,speak to various j-core dj's and japanese producers they wish Americans would support more by purchaSing even though its hard to obtain by some means , juat because youve pirated something doesnt mean you shouldnt consider purchasing something , its honestly more the reason to . If you like it , buy it .
i have to agree with this for the most part although I haven't really bought much cause I just can't really afford it

The main problem I have with purchasing anime is that the DVDs we get have awful subs. I bought the entire Death Note series after watching the Shinsen Fansub and the difference was horrendous.
Problem is - The fansub versions are actually translated a lot better than the DVD box sets you can buy from amazon.
Seriously - go get the Death Note box set for yourself - Half way through it just starts spamming 'matsuda' in the middle of words...
If Japan wants me to buy anime it needs to add subs of the same quality or better than fansubbers.
personally I'd probably rather go for importing instead of buying from the companies who localize it because of that fact
it wouldn't have any english subs, but I can just find fansubs for it
