I remember when anime first hit the American shores and people were calling it "Japanimation". I still cringe when I hear that word. I remember scouring the internet (such as it was back then) for translations of manga. And I too still download anime. I find it more fun to stay ahead of the game with new titles anyway.
no subject
Yeah. People would say Japanimation and I was like "nooooooooo, that's not what it isssssssss!" Worse yet, when people ragged on me for watching cartoons I got upset. Sure, it was animated, but my cartoon had more depth than ten of my mom's soap operas.
I like how OP seems to be conveniently blocking out the part where subs existed back then too. There were sites that you could go to and order video tapes of subbed materials. If they were so big into anime back then, they probably have a few of them. Hello hypocrite!
I love downloading. I can watch all sorts of things and if it sucks, I never have to waste a penny on it. If I love it, I saved lots of money so that I can buy up all sorts of merchandise for the things I love! If the industry offered me a better way to sample before I bought, I'd use their way. I don't want to kill anime, but as a consumer, I like to be able to make better decisions on my purchases, it's not like I'm made of money and can buy every piece of crap that comes down the pipes.
no subject
I still get ragged for watching 'cartoons' but not as badly as I used to. The only time I get upset is if someone refuses to give anime any kind of chance simply because it's animated and it therefore "for kids". I don't know about you, but I've seen quite a few anime that were definitely NOT kid friendly.
Your reasons are exactly the same as mine for loving downloading series. It's helped me save so much money. There have been series I've downloaded and adored and there have been series I've downloaded and have disliked. I guess I'm also fortunate in that my local library carries anime dvds. If there is a series I've just learned of and it's already been liscensed, I can often times borrow it from my library. The only cost to me is the gas money I use to get there, and since I love going to the library it's no big deal for me.
If there was a better way to see new anime and give it a test drive, I'd be all for it as well. I simply don't have the money (much less the ROOM) to purchase every new series that comes out.
no subject
The blood, guts, gore and nudity that can often pop up in anime along with porn, and mature plots should assure anyone saying that it's for kids, that it is not. More than a cursory glance should tell them but people are too used to blanket judgment calls than bothering to make informed decisions and that's with everything. =/
I just think it's silly to expect people to buy everything. We're not all made of money or using our parents' credit cards.
no subject
This is something my mother learned the HARD way. I had rented some Ranma 1/2 videos from my local Blockbuster and had them in my room. I went to work and while I was gone my older sister dropped her son off for my mom to watch him. He was about 8 and was still watching cartoons, so my mom (in a stroke of genius) thinks that she'll let him watch the videos I rented and it'll keep him out of trouble.
Let's just say, when I came home from work later that evening, the first words out of my mother's mouth were "What the hell did you rent??"
