Hastings, when it was alive (so long fucker)

Best Buy

Amazon

Microsoft Store

What ever the fuck Sony's marketplace for movies and shows is called

Funimation's site

Google Play Store

iTunes?

while best buy does sell anime, the selection is generally poor and a single season can cost up to 70$

The Best Buys in Idaho have fairly good selections, and asides garbage like Dragonball, Naruto Shippuden, and One Piece, a series generally goes for $45 for a full series.

Maybe all y'all plebs should stop living in your inferior states.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

And how do you know I don't visit Europe for long periods of time, or maybe that I have family there? On top of that what If I said I live in Texas but I might not? There are so many different things. Ontop of that, when I mean by anime is hard to get, I mean by older shows. A lot of older anime can NOT be found on Crunchyroll except for the few popular ones.

It be one thing if you could just admit that you want free stuff.  It's another that you need these mental gymnastics just to feel morally justified.

 

Just admit it, you pirate only because it's cheap and easy to do with a minimum of consequences.

Much easier to pirate a movie than it is to:

  1. Order movie ticket (exchange the Queen's money for goods and services)
  2. Find the bus timetable (i'm some sort of pleb who doesn't drive)
  3. Get on bus (exchange more of the Queen's money)
  4. Go to town (and not die to chavs) 
  5. Buy whatever food (Even more of the Queen's money)
  6. Enter cinema + enjoy

Where as at home:

  1. "Acquire" the film
  2. watch
  3. job done

Pros: Didn't have to go outside, didn't have to exchange the Queen's money.

 

Cons: Could have missed some qt3.14s. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

Y'know, I totally agree with the fact that shit is hard to get, hence piracy. I'd love to actually purchase the movies I end up getting from a few friends, but at 20 bucks a pop for something that's HD, I'm not feeling it.

I'd pay for Netflix no problem if I knew that if I wanna watch a movie I can hop on Netflix and watch it no problem, but what happens is that 30% of movies are on Netflix,10% are on HBO, soon there would be the disney stuff so I'd have to pay for 10 services. What wins between paying for 10 services to watch a movie or going to torrents anddownloading it (I'm usually getting 40-50MB/s download so a 10GB film is gonna get downloaded while I go to get some food and something to drink). If all the movies/tv series would be on one platform I'd have no problem with paying the subscription.

dont worry. once verizon and comcast and direct tv finally abandon television, they will sell online streaming services packages, once again making you overpay for extra content you wont even watch

If anyone knows where I can find Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan complete Blu-ray set for cheap, I sure be happy.

...looks at Amazon...no hell in way am I paying over 700 bucks for that.

 

A majority of the new anime is easy to get, but darn if you want to find certain ones like Gurren Lagan, Kill La Kill, Darker than Black, etc.

I get all my MP3s directly from YouTube using one of those converter websites. I'm not paying for music. Without my mom's income I couldn't even afford to work at my job. I do still buy most of my games legit from Steam though cause it's convenient. Except some emulators.

Frankly, Hollywood can go fuck itself. I'm not gonna go pay money for something I can't rip. Not to mention the bullshit they shovel in our faces as to why they do this.

Don't have experience with any anime piracy, can't talk about that.
