Supporting the Anime Industry
brunoais:
And they usually add bad voice dubs (there are good exceptions, fortunately(?)) who are under paied.

Not verbatim because fuck you memory, but "I don't make movies to be read" - Mamoru Oshii
If you were going at it the way the author intended, you'd be watching the dub, end of story. Yes, the English dub is rarelly treated with the same amount of seriousness as the Japanese dub, but that doesn't make the Japanese dub the holy grail dubbing. It's still shit, you just don't know, because you don't know the language.
I'm not saying that you can't prefer one or the other, but don't spout bullshit about "The way it's meant to be (insert something here)".

Buying anime in the USA usually doesn't mean supporting anime back in Japan. The only real way to do that is to import. I still buy stuff from American dealers because then they are the ones that pay the licensing fees to the Japanese publishers/owners. Other than that, CR is where it's at.
SirSkyRider:
I would buy anime here if they'd actually publish stuff worth watching. Unfortunately, there were only three major releases in the past few years to my liking – Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, K-On! and the BD version of all of Black Lagoon (Black Lagoon, Second Barrage and Roberta's Blood Trail), the rest of the series released here in Germany is SHIT.
I buy a lot of manga though. Simply because I hate scanlations.

It's not about supporting the Japanese industry, it's about supporting the US anime industry. That video was right that the industry in the US is dying.
