Are the anime sold at popular original stuff? I've been buying stuff from there quite often.....

Are Malaysia/Singapore the only country that does not have a shop selling original anime?
It's kind of sad.

btw. What does BT means?
edit: and bootleg

That sticker even wrote KPD Tulen bla bla bla..
How the hell did they even get it 

Actually the right statement is most Malaysians are not willing to fork out money for these stuff.

Then it comes it issue of not being well informed (of what is tulen and 'tulen').

For the average joe who seeks to enjoy random animation now and then, it's ok if they wanna claim it's original. For ppl who know, purchase and deliberately boast about it, it's another story lo. Well, just my opinion anyway.

i got fukken quality of subs when i bought few animes coz lazy download

I have given up hope on the 'original' DVDs being sold in Malaysia after I was duped into paying big money for Wolf's Rain OVA (very nice packaging/tulen stickers/yaddayadda) - I fell for the trap and learned from it. It was after that incident that I finally realise that there is no ori anime sold in Malaysia. Well, at least I know for sure that in KL there's none

Huh? can get the stickers for few cents?
Wow.. 
That's new..
I never know.. 

Crap,
no wonder the price for 'fake' original seems way near the pure fake price..
Thanks for the info,
Keep away from the stickers huh..

Well, i did try googling for 'videostar animation' (distributor)
it ended up, .With This,no other link.
It's Fake..
since the episode was 1-13 with only 2 DVD inside..
*ouch* The moment of truth always hurt.. *ouch*

Still, collecting big box that contain anime DVD sure feels nice(feels like ori) rather than a plain plastic. 

PS: can show me some real price+link for anime from tokyopop? just curios

Kena duped into buying so-called original DVDs is bad enough - adding insult to injury, the subtitles are horrendous! Direct chinese-english translation or nonsensical subs.

Truth be told, I've BTed most of my anime nowadays. *strokes 1TB HDD* Instead of paying money for sub-quality bootlegged DVDs, might as well go for FOC high-quality subs.

BTW, I'm sure most of you guys know that alot (well, most) of the anime OSTs being sold are bootleg OSTs ya? I also learned the hard way after buying the 'original' OSTs from Tower Records. Oh well - I'm wiser now

You can purchase anything for a price in Malaysia.    Stickers are just sap sap sui.

Actually... There are original animes here, licensed and authourised, but they are few and sometimes rare and can only be found at either Sp**dy or EzyV*deo (because of licensing problem), mostly...

I'll list some of it that I've found, seen or bought -

Karas: The Prophercy and Karas: Revelation - released by Innoform, region 3. I am a big fan of Karas, I've actually collected all 6 volumes of the Limited 2-disc Edition from Hong kong (by AVP, original japanese transfer), the collector set from US (by Manga) and yeah, a special collector's edition that comes with a Karas figurine (by Innoform, priced around RM 70-80)...

Steamboy and Appleseed - released by Innoform as well.
Appleseed Ex Machina - licensed by Warner, distributed by Alliance Entertainment which is under Spe*dy... Yeah, that Sp**dy...

Final Fantasy Advent Children - licensed by Sony Entertainment, distributed by their local authorized distributor which is Mediamax.

And yeah, Bleach is actually licensed in Malaysia to the one and only Berjaya HVN... It's an 'indirect disctribution' (I think...), not from japan but through a company named Medialink which is located in Hongkong, so don't be surprised if ya find an extra audio track which is cantonese dubbed... I remember seeing old stock of Bleach volume 1 (1 disc - 4 episode) somewhere, and it comes with a insert - a free poster.

Shonen Omnyouji and Keikaishi (by PMP) are both licensed authorized distribution as well. But, they seemed to be lacking the original japanesed audio... Which is ashame...

PS: Best way to spot a local original is focus on company like PMP, Innoform, HVN, Alliance Entertainment, Mediamax and Movie Magic. Finding logos\trademark of the anime production company, original distributor(japan based), licensor and ect are important as well...

Anyway, I am an average joe as well, but I still manage to save some money to get myself original stuff from amazon\rightstuff and ect, well, maybe it's a little slow, but it's better than bootleg or BT, for me atleast...

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.

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

Original anime DVDs will takes century to reach Malaysia

Options :

~ No choice , buy it .
