(Anonymous) 2008-07-28 12:13 am (UTC)(link)But after hearing the "fansubs are bad and hurt the industry" argument so many times, and after posting clips of shows on Youtube and seeing first-hand how entitled people are about their anime fix without even considering buying the legit DVDs when they come out.. I just started feeling so guilty about fansubs that I don't even pay any attention to the new ones anymore. This has been going on for two years. I only watch fansubs when I've actually been alerted that a show is good, and then only usually a few episodes.
Result of this? The only shows I pick up on DVD anymore are the old shows I watched on fansubs. Because I feel guilty if I watch and like fansubs and don't pick a show up. Just picked up Emma and Spiral and Petite Princess Yucie, which I watched via fansub years ago.
Went to the store the other day, and there were series there where I had no idea what they are. Some of them look kind of neat, but not enough to spend gobs of money on them. And I have no idea what's been out for the last few seasons (other than shows I've heard of through fan circles), so this'll probably repeat.
I've got no incentive to pick up even the more popular shows like Death Note or XXXholic on DVD until they come out in cheap box sets, since I read the manga but haven't watched the fansubs. If I'd watched the fansubs, I'd probably have felt guilty enough to pick up the first few volumes right now, at least. And unknown series are right out.
TL;DR: I think this is backfiring, because I've actually got no incentive to buy the DVDs for newer shows anymore, because I have no idea what they're like or if they're any good, and I don't feel guilty for NOT buying them. Perhaps I was right to begin with, and I should go back to watching fansubs?
185. Don't feel bad for liking these shows. Never feel bad for liking ANY shows. You like what you like.
Plus, can't say for Pokemon (since I've never seen much of it) but I still think that the end of the first season of Sailor Moon and the middle of the S season had some of the saddest scenes in any anime I've watched. Naruto and Death Note don't even come close.
