This man speaks truf. You aren't a serious AMVer until you go out of your way to get some footage. Or HAVE to import it because that's the only way=p. Any poser can download Bluray rips but a real man can track down vintage 70s robot shows. No slights to real women either; they can track down vintage shoujo. Too bad that doesn't happen anymore...wait did that every happen? Well at least a couple times I think...
Well thank goodness we no longer have to worry about importing those LD Boxsets from JP. Shipping was a bitch and spending over 500 was easily achieved especially if you were paying for new. Hasn't been a huge amount that interested me to crank up the pride of ownership and import in recent years. I was hoping Geass R2 would live up to season 1 but Taniguchi Goro got screwed pretty much and it seems he's out of the game now. So it's just been Eva and Kyoukai movies that I've imported lately. There are still some JP DVDs on my wish list though but what with all these remastered releases a collector is better off holding out. Some USA DVD releases are still worth it thanks to the great price/performance but for a hardcore collector things are definitely switching back to JP releases just because of more Bluray releases.
/fucking should have bought R2 Saint Tail when it was on sale
