Notes:

- A request to commenters, some secrets may indeed have more details than others, but please excersise respect instead of commenting with 'tl;dr'! Don't have the attention span to read it? Don't read it. ♥ At the same time, secret-makers, try and see if your secrets can be summed up in fewer words, due to this same reason. That's all!

- Obviously I must never be allowed to count on my 5am self to post and queue secret posts. :3;

12. Does anyone else realize that if there is no sales return, they'll stop MAKING these movies/ shows/ books, and that when they do, you won't even be able to get them illegally?

I'll download things to test them out, or when there is literally no other way of getting them or they're old as dirt and no one cares anymore... but when I really love something, it's a matter of respect for the artists involved that makes the price worth paying. Not to mention like other people have said, I like owning tangable copies of my books and movies and such.

14. I actually like MOST of the american voices for the Yu-Gi-Oh! characters more than I like the japanese. I just have more fun with it in English. It's more nerdy. 8D

12. Word! It's sad how no one seems to remember this.

"...you won't even be able to get them illegally?"

bitch plz. there's already a booming bootleg industry for anime/manga (which is all I'm talking about here), whether the legal industry producing these works dies or not matters not.

until they crack down on their anti-piracy laws. it's only a matter of time.

besides, sometimes the fantranslators/subbers get bored with a series and stop, making it hard to get copies of something, even in the raw. it's easier to just buy it.

and like the person said above, you are still supporting an industry that is giving you pleasure.

some people just like to be scabs, though.

If every English-speaking fan acted like you? There would no longer be any domestic dvd-rips and manga scans. There go the series that aren't popular enough to get fansubbed and scanlated (especially scanlated, they seem to be a lot slower).

And if every Japanese fan acted like you? There wouldn't be any more anime or manga produced.
