I noticed that there is a shitload of bootleg anime on ebay and 98% of them are usually those " Original Malaysian Version ".

98% = Msian Version "
1% = Others
1% = Burned copies ( people actually buy it: Example this guy http://myworld.ebay.com.sg/fengshenwee/ )

LOOK at this positive reviews! WTF? All he does is download fansubs then burn it and sell to people. How stupid can people be?

He will show this link to people before he sells them

so anyway, back to the original topic, I noticed that 1 company has been producing these "bootlegs" and its called " Lambaian Filem "

This is their website: http://animelv.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=162

On every of their dvds theres " LF " logo however looking at their forums. even their own customers complain about the subs being horrible and things like that.

So forum, what I want to ask is. Do you think this is really a "Real" Company but produce bad products like ODEX? Or just a plain bootleg website.

Malaysian company? There used to be one - I forgot the name, and it licensed some really obscure stuff. Serial Experiments Lain, I think. But then it gulung tikar and was never heard of ever since.

Then there's Odex - well, we all know that one already.

Then this company also sell bootleg?

Their stuff are pretty expensive for bootleg

That's so sad.

Yes, those are bootlegs.

Might be legit. Usually those who bothered to license are the only ones that also bothers to dub it. Since they have malay dub, I think they acquired the license

it doesnt look legit at all -haha3

alah, yang legit dulu pun lebey kurang je. tapi kat belakang ada license gak

Meh my friend asked me to help burn some anime for her from her so called 'original' DVD. Played the file and the english sub sucked badly.. seriously if it was 'original' it wouldn't be as crappy as that =_="

Tried convincing them but they still think they're 'supporting' the real 'originals' when in actual reality they're wasting 20-50 bucks + on buying bootleg ones.. joke sia man.

I never did bought those.. admittedly I'm the download and watch kind >_>" but yeah it would be nice to own originals.. saving moolah for figurines now mainly though. :l

Interested in getting Lucky Star's original dvd lol

Even with Malay dub, the feeling of doubt still lingers.

Some potential red flags are region free DVDs, some titles which are only ENG/CN subbed and Bleach movie 3 that I have not heard being licensed outside of Japan yet by any country.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned already, but sometimes, if you observe carefully, the cover art of the so-called original dvds are actually fanart drawn by fans. (who are probably unaware that someone's slapped their work on a dvd case to sell..)

I am glad you actually realized that. Pretty obvious actually.

Haha, I've known this (the fanart on dvd covers) for a while now, I just never cared much about it.
Then a few months back, I saw the cover of a Kuroshitsuji OVA, and went all "..I have this picture in my dA faves...wtf?"

I've been rather suspicious of Malaysian anime dvds since I bought an anime series (forgot which one lol) that had "MOETRON SUBS" in it's credits.. It's good to confirm my suspicions. Never buying anime dvds in speedy ever again..

That's old news. Not only fanart. Magazine scans and anime wallpapers are not spared. I have seen two wallpapers which I made decorating the front of those so-called boxsets many years back.

Lucky Star
Fullmetal Alchemist (the first adaptation, not FMA: Brotherhood)

Hello,

I'm Really Feel Shock When I Saw This Thread. Cz I Thought The DVD With Sticker From Malaysia Censorship Board Is Original.

I'm Just Wondering...

Why The Malaysia Government Didn't Take Any Action Of The Licensed Shop Like Speedy And Other?

??? Cant See ???

And The Original Authority Company or Rights owner Also Didn't Have Any Action?

Very Curious To Know About It.

It's Because The Licensed Shop Registered In Malaysia Like Authorize In Selling It. And They Act Like The Ori=Granted The Rights To Sell It. And Sell It With The REALLY Profitable HIGH MARGIN. AT LEAST YOU SELL AS BOOTLEG PRICE MA. Like Books We Can Know Which 1 is Bootleg And Which Is Ori.

If It's Really The Truth I'm Really FEEL SHAME TO BE MALAYSIAN lol.

"From the shadows i come"

- protoss stalker, sc2


seriously though, the above questions is like asking why police accepts bribe. get it? lol

Because they don't bother to check. Why didn't they bother to check? Duit sudah masuk poket, maaa....

Also, it's all 'just cartoon shows for kids, no need to be so uptight lar.'

Last but not least, it's because there aren't any malaysian companies that license/manufacture/distribute anime. If there was one, they'd be all over the place setting fire to all the pirate vendors and crying bloody murder. As a consumer, you can make the wise choice by buying from amazon or kino.

The rest of us, well... we'll stick to free fansubs, lol.

/hugs manga/artbook collection tightly.
