You can wait for it to be licensed by US companies to be released as R1 DVD with subtitles.

Oh yeah, about those OSTs, there were never any real original anime OST been sold here anyway (except for third party imported one - imported from japan).

Well, the only way to get 'real' and 'cheap' (minus the import fees and taxes) anime OST locally is when local music & records distribution companies like Sony BGM or Warner to start taking interest in them and licensed them from their japanese counterpart (like avex and ect). - which is currently equals to... none...

Anime music and Anime itself is a totally different business even though they are related... - anime would be handle by the video media distribution company, while music would be handle by the records distribution company.


PS: And yeah, forgot, never buy by faith, buy with research and double checking...

That's why I learned my lesson the hard way That time (1999-2000ish), there weren't that many anime-related stuff being sold in KL, so whenever I see any anime VCDs and OSTs, I'd just grab 'em, thinking that it's original since it's being sold in Tower Records. It was only after I changed to Streamyx (I used dial-up in the early 2000) that I started doing research on the internet.

Adoi, last time used to be so naive.

Somewhat same here - bought 'em since they are cheap and available... Wasted nearly thousands on 'em until I got frustrated...

if anyone's looking..i got some original GTO n Robotech DVDs to let go.. bought in Canada

I need some clarification here.

Example : http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...=tab%3DWatching

Which I'm interested in buying this Anime DVD from malaysia but after reading this thread I'm having second thoughts.

So in that ebay advert, the " Authentication from Malaysia Government " is fake? Since theres claimed no ORI in Msia.

fake!!

(TV 1 - 12 End) [1 Disc]

fake la

wow hot topic for anime here...


the only original anime i brought is Initial D several years ago (almost RM200 ).. later i oni Direct dl from fan site ==

let face the fact
original sub is really suck, sometime no distributer for certain anime in Malaysia zzz (waste of money)
they are slow in releasing new chapter and expensive.... and worst of all they cencors out some of the part ... zzz


fan sub video quality considerable quite high especially for avi format... and their sub rock... and best of all it FOC

if they produce dvd that can fit all 12 chapters (eg. in one disc) sure fake one. ori dvd/bluray only fit about 1 or 2 episodes with extras.

thanks so much for ruining the anime industry

+1

you are welcome

/facepalm there goes my hopes of trying to be a ORI otaku

Amazon is way to expensive for me and Odex has so limited titles that its horrible.

I think we anime-lovers at lowyat should actively do something about piracy in Malaysia. Who should we call to report on shops who sell these fake dvds with ori sticker as this has been going on for too long. I think all of us should call authorities and make them take action! I feel that if enough of us pressure them, maybe and just maybe, one day real original dvds will be sold here.

Because some ppl buy them thinking they're original dvds! plus ppl who buy them knowing they're fake too. That's why there are so many shops now selling all these fake 'original' dvds because of constant demand.

The reason that all those bootlegs can still be active in My is bcos there is no company that willing to buy the license and take full authority to sweep out all the bootleg...

Just like Singapore, before ODEX exist they were also selling bootleg imported from My, same price is SGD tho...
Then ODEX took the license, stop all Bootleg imports... now we wont see any Bootlegs in SG already...


Meaning unless there is a company with license give pressure to the Government, the government wont consider those bootleg as pirated at all.

can always call home ministry and continue with that plan. i also think this is a very good idea to begin with. and thus leads to the war among those bootleg taugehs to earn the official license to sell their product here.

As someone with close relation with the government, why don't you lead first?

I feel ashamed to read this, knowing that you are PROUD to be a thief. Your parents should feel ashamed too for not educating YOU on not to steal things.

Shame on you.

prepare paperwork and of course person who can be a reference. can work along with the japan embassy if u want to

btw a brief official report need to be prepared first. the handing it over will be my part
