I pay for a crunchyroll subscription and I'm happy to, especially as it means I can get 720p videos :)

OT: She's cute. What pirate anime is she from?

[(Anonymous)]

She's not from anything, just an original character by an artist named Shunya Yamashita.

[(Anonymous)]

If you really want to support the industry your best bet is buying BDs of shows you like directly. Subscriptions don't do all that for the companies actually making it.

[(Anonymous)]

Apparently Japanese companies ignore overseas sales so even if you buy the BDs they won't be added to the total numbers.

[(Anonymous)]

The money still go towards supporting the company, but you're right that Oricon doesn't count oversea sales in total sales. But you should still buy the Japanese DVD/BDs (or related merchandise) if you want to directly support an anime.

Read 3.1 (and the rest of it honestly) and it'll explain better than I can: http://www.someanithing.com/sales-faqguide

If I bought Japanese BDs of shows I liked I would not be able to afford anything else, hobby wise. The prices are nuts.

(I do buy merchandise though)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the prices are steep but the industry's dependent on them since the hobby's relatively niche. Merchandise works as long as it's first hand and official, though.

I try to go for shows that aren't doing all that well, but I enjoyed.

[iggy]

Yeah, I'm a big figure collector especially. I occasionally buy doujinshi or fanart prints, but 95% of merchandise I have is official.

Re: BD- Not to mention if it doesn't have English subs, it's useless to me. There's a couple of shows that weren't released over here that I'd absolutely be willing to buy Japanese BDs for, but with no English sub options, it's basically me throwing money down a hole.

[type_wild]

I buy DVDs and, recently, blue ray.

I think this is the safest sign that I'm officially and old lady.

[(Anonymous)]

nah it's spelling it "blue ray" that makes you an old lady :P

[type_wild]

No need to tell me *g* I realised it when I couldn't for the life of mine figure out what the plural form was (blue rays? eugh)

[(Anonymous)]

blu rays

[alexi_lupin]

Blu-rays or BDs (blu-ray discs).

[elaminator]

I've only used Hulu a handful of times and I'm way behind on anime and don't watch enough of it to justify a subscription. When I do catch up I'll just have to sit through 12 commercials every 30 minute episode. :(

[leisuretime]

Yes. Because Hulu was just watching and waiting for you to leave so they could unroll ad-free viewing. Just to spite you.

[iggy]

A subscription to crunchyroll and a 4.99 (ad-free) subtitle only subscription to funimation should get you 95% of the shows being simulcast. Hulu doesn't offer much of anything that isn't on those sites.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I think Chivalry of a Failed Knight is one of their first simulcast exclusives. Pretty much everything they get is either on Funimation or Daisuki.

I mostly use my Hulu subscription for older anime shows.

[(Anonymous)]

Delicious, sweet HD blue-ray quality. You cannot resist it.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no, I didn't like the service so I stopped paying, but now they're offering what I want, so I... won't pay... some more..? That doesn't make sense.

[(Anonymous)]

They're bitter that they were paying with no noticeable anything, then when they stopped they finally offered the services most people WOULD pay for.
