Awesome. I also made a thread about the donating of anime/game OSTs in "General Music" if you want to post there, too.

*hyperventilates*

That "superior" $20 version would be a bootleg. If you're cool with that, go ahead, but those of us who actually believe in supporting the industry and series we claim to love would go for the real release.

IIRC I got the real box set from the distributor's table at Otakon for $80. Not bad compared to the, y'know, $200 you can drop for a longer series. :/

It's worth it, IMO.

yeah I'm cool with the HK.. I knew you were talking about HK once I heard "misspellings in the subtitles".

Although ebay gave a slight hint, too. =p

I did say eariler that I do also own the American release box set. I have both. I was just giving my opinion that the bootleg had better subs and was closer to the manga in story line. And I do believe in supporting the industry that I do love......therefore I did go out and purchase the badly translated - the "real", "license", "non-bootleg" version. I paid 100 dollars for an anime that I already had and was very happy with JUST TO SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY THAT I DO LOVE. So are we okay with that or am I still a bad person?

I wasn't questioning your purchases, just that you encourage people to not buy the real thing and buy the bootleg instead.

But, you know, lots of people don't see things the same way I do, and that's fine... just presenting the other side of the story.

SaratheBoring,
I understand your point.
No, I dont encourage any one to buy a bootleg, I just gave my honest opinion on this particular anime. In most cases the bootlegs are shit and not worth the money you pay for them. I only own 2 "bootleg" anime and in both cases I bought the "real" thing after watching them. Maybe I should have made my self clear about this being an exception to the general rule.
I bought this "bootleg" copy before it was avia here, when it was released here, I bought it and in this case I happen to think that my "bootleg" copy is better than the real and yes it was expensive (at least to me on my current budget it was). But I bought it anyway because I love the anime that much. I just happen to prefer to watch my "bootleg" version and leave my "real" version on the shelf with the rest of my anime collection.

Well, if you are all so sensitive about it, perhaps I could buy the US copies you have of Yami no Matsuei off of you, Kazutaka?

I mean, it doesn't seem like you're using them. =p
