This thread is stupid. One side keeps on defending his own product originality, despite being the bootleg copy. And one side, while being at the right side of proving the opposite site wrong, never actually being clear on what actually is original when it comes to anime DVD/BDR other than PRICE, PRICE AND PRICE. (At least that's what I see)

Though I'm not blaming Yue and the others for it since they got mostly correct.

Only XeonBox being seriously retarded.

The issue you people are trying to get it clear is whether the anime itself has it's license legally purchased by the foreign distributors to, in a certain level and extent, edit, and dubbing. Hence it's not the original issue we are trying to discuss here. It's whether the anime you buy = officially licensed, and legally allowed to be distributed to the masses by the original anime studio, and the foreign distributors (company)

Simply put. Whatever anime DVDs are sold in Malaysia are NOT in anyway legal AT ALL. Since Xeonbox keeps saying that his DVDs are original and whatsnot. It's not the issue of whether his DVDs are original or not, it's the issue of whether his products are LEGAL or NOT. Which in this case, his is not LEGAL. So in other words, it's ILLEGAL. Selling illegal products while claiming itself original (and whatever good points he blurted about it to defend his own product) is seriously, retarded to the max. You feel no shame? then feel free to get burn someday or another.

Original only applies if you buy it straight from the studio itself. Whether it comes with the packaging or even a burned DVD-R : As long as you recieve the phsycial copy directly and straight from the original creator and the studio itself - then it's original. Nothing more nothing less

Though however, the common intepretation nowadays is that whatever anime DVDs/BDR (or CD soundtracks, even figures) that you have bought straight from Japan stores (Gamers, Animate, K-Books, Mandarake) can be considered original. Which, in this case, the copy you got is Original and Directly Distributed by <insert Japan local distributor company> like Aniplex, or Kodansha for one.

You can hardly use the term ORIGINAL because physically it's never possible to get the original. Instead, get yourself accustomed with the distributor company terms like Aniplex, Kodansha, Funimation, Geneon, etc. Then you can start telling whether the copy you bought is legit or not.

OTHERWISE IF IT'S FROM SOME CHAPALANG NOT-KNOWN DISTRIBUTORS COMING OUT FROM SOME SMELLY GARBAGE GOD-KNOWS-NOWHERE, IT'S NEVER LEGIT AND HENCE IT'S NOT A LEGAL COPY.

So Xeonbox, unless your copy states the distributor that is from those examples stated above, yours is never legit (or if you want to be so anal, original) at all. In that case, go die in the fire, many times. now.

P/S :
1)NO LEGIT COPIES WILL EVER HAVE MORE THAN 3 EPISODES IN A DVD. EVER. (Though there are exceptions, but very rare)
2)NO LEGIT COPIES WILL EVER HAVE SUCKY ENGRISH AND HORRIBLE GRAMMAR STRUCTURE IN THEIR SUBS.

If you don't get these 2 basic points of what is a legit copy, you have no right to defend your own product, ever.

You skip my post and directly went into the dark side of my message.

You are "smart" indeed, but I'm done with your retarded intelligence anyway. So you can take it or leave it. Since you are pretty much just a speck of a dust that is seriously insignificant if any.
