Buying anime in Malaysia is a joke. I'd rather buy US-licensed manga and novels and support the original creators.

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.

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

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.

That's approximately RM 1,600, amounting to about RM 125+ per TV episode. Let's assume you can afford to pay for it - would you value an anime enough to pay for it at this price? If you were the owner of such content, how much would you charge for each episode, taking business sense into account and all?

Another example is the Kara no Kyoukai BD box, retailed at JPY 52500 for 8 movies, that's approximately RM 2100+, or RM 260+ per theatrical movie.

Wasn't the bootleg/import loophole discussed in this thread before?
What these Malaysian anime distributors do is basically this

1. Taiwan/HK/Whatever boolegs the anime
2. Claims to own distributing license/rights whatever
3. Malaysian companies import these things from Taiwan
4. tell the Govt that they are importing a legitimately licensed product
5. ???
6. PROFIT.

Of course, Malaysian gahmen cannot accuse the Taiwan companies of selling bootleg shit because obviously Malaysian law doesn't apply to Taiwan. And that's how you get cheap anime DVDs that are filled with fansubs downloaded for free from the Internet.
