[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/includes/functions_content.php on line 1014: Undefined array key 3 Your Anime collection, DVD or P2P? - AniDB
Greetings to everyone!
This is an attempt at getting to know how anime fans in other countries "assemble" their anime collection.
I myself buy DVDs once a year or so, when I gather enough resources , but I also use P2P as a source of potential future buys and in-between entertainment.
I started this kind of poll on a forum in Slovenia, to see what sources people use for viewing and collecting anime. You can view the poll here, if you're curious.
Prehaps it's odd posting this on a P2P anime centerstage forum, but what the heck, I'll give it a shot!
pretty much my local anime store lends me their first copy dvds to watch, and when they've sold a few they just go ahead and let me keep it for free, so money is going back to the companies
CheesyP18, I bet at least 85% of anime fans would want to trade places with you
Answer as if you would buy them, it's the closest answer
P.S.
Is there any special way you used to talk them into this wonderful relationship?
I use just p2p and I´m not going to buy any DVDs. While there are p2p programs, then I use them. Good way to save money and use it for something else. I don´t want to say, that I think that buying anime DVDs is a waste of money. It isn´t, but if you have another change and you can save up some money, then use the change! Or if you have enough money and don´t wish to wait and you like best quality, then go on!
I guess that would be the third choice. I buy series that I really like, but my primary supplier is still p2p. It would be impossible to buy all that stuff .
I buy the animes I loved to watch on dvd (if it ever comes out in Germany )
I download the main part (95%), because
1. to get anime dvds in Germany is difficult
2. one German Anime DVD costs regularly 25-30 Euros
3. Not all Animes which are out there are worth to buy
4. I was a poor pupil (student later) and now I'm a poor apprentice (trainee)
But it's getting better with getting orig. anime dvds in Germany and it will get better with my money problem.

I'm usually watching the fansubbed version first. Because it's fresh and new, and of course not available anywhere on DVD. But if I do like a series a lot, I usually buy the DVDs as soon as they are released in the US.
The makers of Anime put so much love and time into this. so make sure to compensate them for their hard work, if you can. At least that's how I see it
This poll also gives me a problem. I don't own any purchased anime DVDs, but I do plan on buying some at some time in the future when I have money, most of my stuff (99%) comes from downloading, but I've also borrowed some things from friends. So there are 3 that kind of fit. Probably the second last one is closest, except for the fact that I have no objection to buying DVDs.
i'm sure i would buy anime dvd, when there would be a chance. there is no anime shop in my country, and all u can find is mononoke hime and spirited away. and i don't owe any credit cards, so i can't shop on web.
I'll start buying anime dvds the moment they're reasonably priced and contain clean 100% progressive video without dotcrawl, rainbows, blocking, ringing, halos, blurring, noise, dubs, ugly hardsubbed lyrics & english credits, etc. etc. etc. Until then I'm not paying through the ass when I can get something of superior quality off the net.
