3. Entire series cost is probably more than you'll spend in a lifetime, and the U.S. release is slow as crap. (i.e. InuYasha)
Those are my main reasons I'd get a bootleg. Now, I have thought about getting some, but as of this time I have not bought a bootleg or downloaded a fansub.
If a title is licensed, then I'll be patient for its U.S. release. (however ADV is testing that patience with its long wait for Puni Puni Poemi. When was that licensed? Like almost two years ago? Guess it keeps the shelf warm and they like warm shelves [their old shelf heater broke])
adv is slow init? Im still waiting for the last nadesco disks and 3 eva disks............ so you think you have it bad???
When were they licensed? And by Eva disks you mean the director's cut right? That was licensed on 4/19/2003, Nadesico doesn't have a date, and Puni Puni Poemi was 7/05/2001.
So in fact you've been waiting less, sometimes it pays to have patience.
For U.S. licenses....

And Izumi, just what source are you using then? Mpeg, Mpeg2, etc?
Oh, and CaTaClYsM, now that I do have an R2 player, I was thinking about getting the Japanese releases over bootlegs(I'm planning on learning Japanese......eventuallly), but the Japanese releases are very expensive. I'd only do it for short series. (something like InuYasha would put me in mountains of debt.)
