Re: Does anyone here actually BUY Anime???

a lot otakus have only a couple ways of obtaining anime:
- borrowing from friends
- downloading from the Internet
- begging parents to buy it for them

me, I download anime & manga sometimes
but I'm saving up to buy anime collections
I'm planning of getting FLCL, Hellsing, and Wolf's Rain

I'm Filipino so I got cousins back in the Philippines that have access to a lot of pirated VCDs of anime
there are occasionally some legit shops in Manila that sell official English-subbed anime DVD collections straight from Japan
(only around 3000 pesos = $60 compared to the $100+ ones here in the states)
my cousin got me all the Cowboy Bebop episodes... on VCDs
low quality (two of the VCDs don't work, one of them had Full Metal Panic! on it, and the picture is a little messed up) but it ain't that bad
