While using official streams is important to the industry, at this stage it isn't really what signalled the end of Manglobe.

Its when people then choose to not buy the thing on disc that it becomes a problem.

Exactly. I torrent the hell out of everything I watch. Until a physical media option is available, if one is at all. At which point I trade up. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Torenting is complex? Is it really that complicated to go on google and search for the files that you need?

The only time I've had a problem with torrents is when I find a file I need that isn't going anywhere because no one's seeded it in like, forever.

I'm with Den-O and Kiryu on this one.

Like I don't mind streaming if it is on something I can watch on my PS3/PS4, but for the most part, I would rather just download it and if it is good enough, buy it when it comes to BD unless it doesn't come with an English dub (well for anime, live action I only care if it is subbed).

Just saying that just because you guys will support the official release regardless of torrenting doesn't mean everyone who torrents does that.

Especially since people who torrent everything and buy nothing aren't likely to be very public about it.

Well that is a given. Hell, one of my friends has over 2000 anime series on his external hard drives and he didn't pay for a single one of them. He loves to gloat about how much anime he owns to, even though he hasn't even watched a fraction of them, he still likes to talk about owning them. He refuses to support official releases because doesn't like dubs and he doesn't like the fonts the official companies use.

Now people like that are just silly. I just take for granted that a certain percentage of people torrent/download in general. Hell in the toku fandom it's the easiest way to enjoy new weekly shows as they release. But owning that much stuff and never buying anything official is awful.

I guess he forgets that official anime dvd releases always have subs. Not buying dvd's or blu-rays from official companies because of dubs is dumb. I always buy dvds and blu-rays of anime when they are brought over it officially. Same with streaming on CR and Funimation. I also buy manga from my official book store. I only use Manga Fox if it's a series that I can't buy here in the US.

I only use illegal manga stuff if I just want to read it bad enough like MonMusu and Nurse Hitomi.

I always try to support the official release even if there is no dub.
especially Sentai Filmworks because they bring over the good stuff.
