Either way, how do you expect people to get exposure if it's not being exposed is what I'm saying. I wonder how many people saw it as illegal in the first place. I know I never thought much of it. My friend would get something to watch, and I'd watch it with him. Didn't know until a couple of years ago when my "anime watching" had died down a lot anyway due to boredom. I was always told it was "illegal" if it's a licensed work. But meh...no excuse, I guess.

If you really have no access to a manga you deadly love yet can't afford to get from far-away, morally you can only justify helping the industry reach you.

And how does one go about that? I can think of a couple of titles I'd like to have, but one is old (80s), and doesn't even have scanlations (not that I care..I'd take this series original and just ask someone to translate lol) and its anime NEEDS TO HAVE A DAMN RE-RELEASE (darn you Bandai!!), and the other one
still doesn't have a license.
