This rant is for my ranting (i'm too good) about how supposedly new anime is brought here, in America.
There's new anime out. That refers to Anime just produced and presented in Japan. Like on TV, or as OAV and Movies. Recently there has been a lot released, and as time passes even more are released and older ones get Licensed in America.
I cannot stress at how much I hate LICENSED ANIME!!! well not really.. I only hate it because when it is licensed, it is removed off the Net because then it would be illegal-er (oh i'm hot) than it already is.
- Fan-Subs are the forms of the Anime from Japan presented in America. These are anime with added subtitles done by a group of Otaku, then freely distribute it over the internet. This according to something (sorry i cant be specific) is actually illegal, even though these groups don't get paid for distributing it as it would be illegal, and they do it FOR the Otaku BY the Otaku.
Obviuosly... when anime is licensed, then it is sold in retail stores. DVDs are expensive as hell. My non-otaku friends ask me, "What DVDs do you have?" I have like none. You know why? Bcause I'm the only person that purchases media in my household. And the media I purchase that are on DVD is of the Anime Genre, which those non-otaku friends wouldn't be like, "wth is that?" Even with my current collection of DVDs, I must use my money on other things, such as video games and expensive ass magazines. So I can't go out and buy more DVDs. Recently I have been just downloading Anime, and buying bootlegs. (Which isn't good is it?)
