yes, for series that i really like, if it comes with good subtitle, and great packaging at reasonable price. i mean, something around a few hundreds is ok, but rm2000 for a box set? i wouldn't go that far.

no man, you have to understand. theres a lot of people mistaking the local bootleg ones as "originals" and come here to gloat/brag. he just want to make sure you have it right on whats original, and whats bootleg.

those bootleg has bad video quality, low resolution and bad subs. thats all hes saying yo, no need to be mad.

i remember buying a local "original" dvd box set of cowboy bebop. it has all 26 ep and the movie, knocking on heaven's door in one dvd. back then i dont know much about fan subs, original distributor and stuff. i rewatch the dvd recently, and it was horrible. the image quality was extremely bad, and the subs were inaccurate. it was rm50 or something like that. and thinking that i wasnt even supporting the industry but just made some ******* who didnt pay for copyright richer made me pissed.

news for you brother, the one they sold at anime tech, speed, sun comic, kedai video ah seng isnt ori, its a rip off bootleg.

it seems somebody is confused on what is copyright, licenses, distribution rights, and international trades. and what is an obvious rip off

no, they dont. not one penny is paid to the copyright owner of those anime. so stop buying bootlegs in thinking its ori, or try to be delusional to yourself that its an original, licensed copy.

this thread aint making sense anymore. yue, youre like talking to a wall, a freaking stupid one at that.

an ignorant b*stard who dont know the reality of the situation, the crime hes committing nor the impact of his action arent meant to be debated with. i mean, come on, weve been talking about how bootlegs are rip off, hes talking about original in this country and stuff that make no sense.

i guest the bottomline is this mr TS, youre dvd's are rip off, its recorded, subbeb, and distributed by people who didnt pay a single cent to the original copyrighted owner of the material, the animation studio, kyoani, gainax, any of them. yes, you cant afford original dvd, i dont give a d*mn. some can, some cant and if you cant afford it, find something else to do, like playing kite. thats the reality of life. if you want to continue with your bootlegs, then we cant stop you. but please stop to try and pass it off as "originals" and have the nerve to say that to us, people that knows.

damn this is a tl;dr

damn this guy never fail to amuse me

and the endless eight continues
