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.
