why you dont buy anime /a/
its like 6 dollars a serie on ebay with free shipping and you get a nice cute box
Not all anime is that cheap. Also for only 4 episodes.
>buying some shitty chinese/malaysian bootleg
Because I can watch it for free.
It makes no sense to support it since I'm not a target audience, I usually have to buy things second-hand, and Japan has terrible taste most of the time.

You underestimate how much of a huge jew I am.

I'm insecure about my hobbies and don't want to leave any physical evidence in the rare case somebody swings by

I actually do buy anime. Localized.
No, I don't give a shit about wanting to support the anime producers directly.
There is a reason they sold the license to a foreign company after all, so that the foreigners can deal with how to make money from the anime themselves.
If they enforced things properly so I would have to pay then I would probably just not bother watching and enjoy something else free, so me abusing the fact that it's freely available is not much of a loss for anime industry.

Do Japs even care about us as a target audience?
>>150458835
They care a bit. We're like gravy to them.

more like the little bits of meat in the gravy

BDs too expensive. Money better put to merch instead.
your torrents will die in 5 years /a/
where will you source your japanese drawings from

Enjoy supporting organized crime, French boy.
Because you can just watch it for free in good quality over the internet. I know it's taking money from the people who made the anime, but my thing is I actually think society should move on from money as an idea and start figuring out how to supply things and everything we need for free with obvious exceptions and alternative solutions to deal with limited resources that most people would want . I think it can be done.
Seriously Money is such an outdated concept and it has so many ridiculous unfair flaws and it has such a negative impact on most peoples lives. If you found a way to give everyone almost everything they want for free that would be even more incentive to work 8 hours a day than before.
"But I won't work unless you pay me, Fuck working otherwise" You'd still do it because you know that society needs those jobs to keep sustaining itself with free stuff.
Can somebody please for the love of god just take my idea and personal army the shit out of this and go make a petition or something that would work to talk the government out of using money. That would be fucking fantastic.
Maybe if everything goes well we'll start building nice fancy houses for everyone in america before 2020. And we'll all have great sound systems and video systems to watch our anime.
So yeah. Fuck money. Fuck it hard.

It's been done before. I don't have a good source but apparently some country just started giving their population enough money to live for a year and found that productivity went up 30%.
I don't agree with the other anon though. While a perfect society would get rid of the concept of Money we are not nearly advanced enough to pull it off yet. Trying now would create more problems than it solves.

This. If the nips weren't retarded in the way they like to release series I'd probably care more.
