How do you get your anime?

Do you see it on tv or online, download it, buy it at a store or mail order it?

Mostly I download it using bit torrent. If I hear of something old that I missed or the latest episodes, that's usually how I get it. If I really like a show, I'll buy it if/when it becomes available.

Do I feel guilty about being a pirate? Not in the slightest. Because I download anime I find a lot of it that I want to own, so I buy it. If I weren't downloading it, I wouldn't be seeing or buying much - if any. If I weren't downloading anime I would probably think of anime like most other Americans as being a load of kiddy crap because that is pretty much the only anime that gets on tv over here.

Anyways, yes. I'm the same way, and I tend to get it from spefic sites that have RSS feeds or what not. It's the only way in America, since a lot of it is, as you've said...kiddie based. Alot of the Senien, or what not isn't tend to be released over here. If I like it enough, I'll buy it assuming gets released. Alot of companies buy right, and sit on it, and wonder where the fanbase goes. =/

I typically catch stuff that's on adultswim or AniMonday on SciFi. What I don't watch on those channels, I watch on sites that the companies run, such as Funimation's YouTube channel. I will admit that I used to watch pirated stuff, but lately I've grown a conscience and stopped. I've been to way too many panels about how badly the industry is hurting to continue stealing from it. In fact, the last show I watched fansubs of was Moribito, which I fully intend to purchase (both to do my part to help the industry and because it's an awesome, amazing show ). Okay, enough preaching, I'll get off my soapbox
