QUOTE People in Japan do have to pay for their cable and satelite tv in order to be able to watch this and on tv there are commercials.
...It's not on standard TV signals anymore? Well, crap, that's changed. I thought they were still getting it for free.
I had a friend that lived over there years ago, and he used to get it and tape it. Now that I think about it, I don't remember him telling me if he had cable or just standard antenna TV. He probably had cable.
QUOTE 1-I think singles are a complete waste of my money so I refuse to ever buy them. I'm not gonna buy 6 or 7 dvds for a full series at $15-20 a piece when I can just wait and buy the full set for $40-60 later. 2-I'm a college student and extra money isn't something I normally have to spend on anime.
I'm in the same situation there. Half.com and convention trips were my saviors when it came to satisfying my new DVD cravings.
Another thought just crossed my mind, as an alternative to the Gonzo method - maybe the companies could host the shows on their own websites and give access to pay-to-play accounts that you could use to pay for / watch episodes via streaming? Granted they would still need subtitles.
