For the most part, this has always been the case with me. It's not like it's advertised much. Some anime series, I might have watched fansubbed years ago, and it might just be getting a license now...but of course I wouldn't know since I lack the cable to watch these anime shows and I don't really read anime magazines or frequent many anime boards, so I never know what's licensed and what's not since for the most part, I delete junk after I watch it.
I watched Deathnote before that was licensed. Really enjoyed it, and pretty much promised myself to buy it whenever it did get one.
Same for manga. If it has no license, how can one buy it?
