Do blurays provide better quality than Fansubber/encoder's encodes/subs?

But then I see "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" for $140 dollars and begin to wonder if money should be spent here. Usually it's a "no".

The only reason that one is so expensive is because Bandai closed down distribution and that is now basically the same as a collectors item, since it is now out of print. That kind of thing I'd definitely say pirate, since you can't really support a company that is already closed now can you?

Blu Ray's are usually much more price friendly, but in terms of "is it worth it", there usually is little noticeable advantage between that and a well done release. Usually people buy them because they like having the physical copy with the menus and having a real collection.

If you're watching a dub then I'd say it's usually pretty good since some fan groups are lazy while the professional dub subs almost always have a text/sign sub track. I wouldn't want to watch a commercially subbed anime over a fansubbed one though. But that's just a personal preference because I dislike the font and sub styling.

As far as things go though, if you went with some group like ExiledDestiny you're pretty much getting exactly what you'd get if you'd purchased it for real, minus the box and menus. There are several groups that just do direct rips like that, so you'd know what to expect if you've seen something like that.

I don't understand how companies which employs professionals can regularly churn out inferior products than what some college kids do in their free time for no charge.

The biggest upside to BD is the fact they they are uncensored. This can actually make a pretty big difference depending on the show.

vuzedome:
Nah, we do uncensored BD releases here as well you know.
Well if you can afford it and it has English subs, why not.
